Review Notes: I really like the concept of the wafe cigar. Java's wafe is an extraordinary quick smoke and an overall delightful experience. I had long anticipated the release of Acid's wafe. The best part is that they chose to stick to their strongest line (Blue line) with the wafe, so if you're a fan of Blondies or 1400ccs or Kuba Kubas, this is another nice quick smoke. Blues might not have the BEST flavor overall from acid, but I think the yellow lines flavor is would overpower a cigar this small. The mild sweetness and spice of blue complements the shape well. The draw is great, but sometimes the burn starts to become uneven about halfway down the stick, which is always inconvenient with one so small. The wafe is a nice cigar, but I don't see myself taking it over a Blondie (for the flavor) or a Java wafe (for the shape) any day.

Review Notes: This was an interesting change of pace. On our way back down the coast from the schooner trip we stopped off again in New Hampshire at the smoke shop. They were having a Drew Estate Event there. Got two of these and two others for free for purchasing three cigars in the Acid/Natural line. Funny aside: I say to the Drew dude, “These are some my wife might like.” “The Wafe,” he says. “Yeah my wife,” says I. “She might like the Wafe,” he says. “Who might like my wife?” says I. “No. Try the Wafe,” he says. It went on like that for a while, you can imagine. He had a Nor’ Eastern accent. Maybe you had to be there. Anyway. This was a bit of a delicate little guy. I felt like I could have snapped it in half. I had to smoke it with kid gloves. It tasted OK. I was having a hard time trying to narrow down a flavor and just gave up and enjoyed what it was to the funky flat nub. Lots of smoke and good even burn. Didn’t last long enough. Not so sure I’m a big fan of the flavoring, but that’s what the Acids are I suppose, so I’m not going to poo-poo it for that. I have more Acids to try out thanks to the Drew dude who may or may not have insulted my wife.

Review Notes: First off, I was a fan of acid until recently. Acid was my first experience smoking cigars and I enjoyed them for a while. I have recently been turned onto the world of cigars outside of Acid, and have since enjoyed them less and less. All their cigars are "infused" with oils and such, and this one follows suit. One thing I noticed, once you get passed that sweet taste from the oils, this is a bland tasting cigar. Not much kick and some bitterness towards the end. Not an all around pleasant taste. This cigar was decently constructed, and produced a nice amount of smoke for such an odd shape. The cigar burned evenly throughout, but burned very hot towards the latter 1/3. The wafe has a lot of the same downfalls the rest of the acid line has. After smoking one, I can honestly say the only thing enjoyable was the shape.

Review Notes: After smoking most of the Acid line I have realized that they make some good and some bad. Fortunately for Drew Estate's new patented shape in the Acid line they have not let me down. The flavor that comes from this small stick is not overly complex, yet it is suprisingly tasty given the smallish size. I would personally say this cigar is the freak child of a Blondie and a Kuba Kuba. The draw and light both were easy, but the light was a bit strange with the shape but small enough to take all the flame. The draw is really what amazed me, how could they possibly get such a good draw from a flat cigar?! I couldn't believe it, from the 3 I have smoked I haven't had a bad draw, and would be tempted to compare the draw to the Padron '64 Exclusivo (definately not flavor-wise though the Padron is still #1). Overall a great new cigar from the Acid line and I am looking forward to trying the Java Wafe.

Review Notes: I love it when they put a cigar into the website that I asked for! This is a very cool and interesting gar. From what I understand, they patented the shape. This "flat" cigar is easy to light and burned very evenly. The flavor was still ACID though, so if you do not like the earthy flavors just admire it from afar. The price is not bad either. I have to give kudos to Drew Estates for not trying to capitalize on the gimmik of this cigar's shape by charging more than the quality is worth. It took me a bit to find a comfortable grip on this one, but I got used to it fast. Cool cigar that stacks well in any humidor.
