The Kuba Kuba Candela represents Drew Estate’s mastery of infusion artistry, taking their most popular ACID Blue blend and reimagining it with a rare candela wrapper. This naturally cured green leaf, processed using a unique quick-drying method that preserves its chlorophyll content, contributes distinctive notes of fresh hay, vanilla, and natural tobacco sweetness that perfectly complement the secret botanical infusion recipe.

Beneath the verdant wrapper lies carefully aged Nicaraguan tobaccos that undergo Drew Estate’s closely guarded infusion process in their specialized aroma rooms. The result is an intoxicating symphony of flavors that begins with sweet vanilla and floral notes, gradually revealing layers of coffee, leather, earth, dried fruit, and subtle citrus undertones. The candela wrapper’s inherent mildness allows the complex infusion to shine while maintaining exceptional smoothness throughout the smoke.

Hand-rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua, each Kuba Kuba Candela showcases the perfect marriage of traditional Cuban rolling techniques and modern flavor innovation. The generous 54 ring gauge provides excellent draw and smoke production, while the 5-inch length offers an ideal smoking duration for both casual sessions and focused enjoyment. Whether you’re exploring the world of infused cigars or seeking a lighter alternative to traditional ACID offerings, the Kuba Kuba Candela Green delivers an unforgettable sensory journey that exemplifies Drew Estate’s commitment to pushing boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the candela wrapper special on the Kuba Kuba Green?

Candela wrappers undergo a unique quick-drying process that preserves their natural chlorophyll, creating the distinctive green color while adding notes of fresh hay, grass, and natural sweetness that complement the ACID infusion perfectly.

How does the Green compare to the original Kuba Kuba?

The Green version features the same signature ACID Blue infusion but with a lighter, naturally sweeter profile thanks to the candela wrapper, making it more approachable for beginners while maintaining the complex botanical character ACID fans love.

What flavors can I expect from this cigar?

You’ll experience sweet vanilla and floral notes upfront, followed by coffee, leather, earth, dried fruit, and citrus undertones, all enhanced by the candela wrapper’s natural grassy sweetness and the signature ACID botanical infusion.

Is special storage required for candela wrapper cigars?

Store them separately from non-infused cigars at 65-70% humidity, and keep them away from direct light which can fade the green color. The candela wrapper is slightly more delicate than traditional wrappers, so handle with care.

How long does the Kuba Kuba Candela typically smoke?

With its 5×54 robusto size, expect approximately 45 minutes of smoking time, making it perfect for a lunch break or evening relaxation session without requiring a lengthy time commitment.

Are candela wrappers naturally green or artificially colored?

The green color is completely natural, resulting from a special curing process that preserves the tobacco leaf’s chlorophyll. No artificial coloring or dyes are used in creating candela wrappers.

What’s the best way to cut the Kuba Kuba Candela?

Use a sharp guillotine or V-cutter for the cleanest cut, as the candela wrapper can be slightly more delicate than traditional wrappers. Cut just above the shoulder line to maintain the cigar’s structural integrity.

Does the green wrapper affect burn performance?

Some smokers report occasional uneven burning with candela wrappers due to their unique curing process. Simply touch up with your lighter as needed, and consider a slower smoking pace to maintain an even burn line.
