Storage Instructions
Store the Acid Cold Infusion in a well maintained humidor for the best preservation of its infused aromas. Aim for a steady environment of 65% to 68% relative humidity and 65ºF to 70ºF (18ºC to 21ºC). Because the Acid Cold Infusion is an infused cigar with aromatic oils and a delicate finished wrapper, avoid higher humidity that can cause seepage or mold. Use a calibrated digital hygrometer and season the humidor properly with distilled water or a propylene glycol solution. A Spanish cedar lined humidor helps regulate humidity and complements the cigar. Keep the box away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and rapid temperature swings. Store boxes flat or upright depending on your humidor design so that humidity remains even. For travel, use a sealed travel humidor or a sturdy tube with a small gel humidifier for short periods.
Care Tips
Handle the Acid Cold Infusion gently to protect the wrapper. Touch the cap only when cutting and use a sharp cutter to avoid tearing. Do not roll the cigar hard between your fingers as this can damage the finish and affect the draw. Allow newly purchased sticks to rest in your humidor for 7 to 14 days so the infusion and tobacco can equilibrate. This product is crafted to be enjoyed relatively young, so most aficionados prefer it within the first few months. If you choose to age a few boxes for integration, keep them under careful humidity control and check them regularly; long term aging is optional and usually limited to several months. Before lighting, let a cigar taken from the humidor acclimate to room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes. Inspect any white residue carefully. A fine crystalline bloom that smells of tobacco is natural and safe. Fuzzy growth or discolored spots with a musty odor may be mold and should be removed from your collection. Rotate stock occasionally so older cigars are used first and so humidity stays consistent throughout the humidor.

Tasting Notes
The Acid Cold Infusion greets the palate with a cool, aromatic introduction and a refined medium body that leans silky and creamy. Flavors unfold as sweet herbal menthol and delicate bergamot citrus layered over a smooth cedar backbone, creating an unusual but harmonious interplay of freshness and wood. Mid-smoke, toasted almond and a whisper of white pepper add nutty warmth and subtle spice, while floral and leathery undertones emerge toward the retrohale. The finish is long and slightly sweet, leaving lingering bakery and cool herbal aromas that invite a slow, contemplative draw.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean rum, its molasses, vanilla and oak notes complement the cigar’s sweet herbal and cedar profile and enhance the creamy finish; Rich single-origin espresso or cold brew, the coffee’s roasted, cocoa-driven bitterness cuts through the cream and amplifies the cigar’s toasted almond and pepper nuances; 70%+ dark chocolate or a citrus shortbread, dark chocolate underscores the cigar’s cocoa and leathery accents while a citrus shortbread brightens the bergamot and floral facets for a balanced, elegant pairing.
