Acid cigars are another brand of cigars that was recently created.

However, their
quality, leadership and marketing processes have allowed them to become one of the
most known brands in the market.

Acid cigars were founded by Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel in 1995, under the name
Drew Estate. That is a very short time in the cigar industry. They imported the
materials and made their cigars themselves. They developed a new blend called La
Vieja Habana, which they sold at the Word Trade Center mall. The brand was a
success, and it became the first cigar of Acid Cigars and the cornerstone of their
future businesses.

They had so much success that they decided to change the location of their factory,
and they moved to Nicaragua. It was a huge step for Acid cigars, and a bet that was
too risky at the time, but that eventually paid off. In those times, Hurricane
Mitch had recently devastated the area, which resulted in incredibly low prices, as
many investors were afraid of setting themselves in the area for fear of another
disaster. This was also considered when thinking about relocating Acid cigars, but
eventually they decided to go for it.

They arrived to the island were ill prepared, as they themselves recognize now.
Jonathan Drew didn�t even speak a word of Spanish back then and had to learn to
drive a stick shift, which he had never done before. Also, the day they opened
their first Acid cigars factory in the island, only two employees showed up for
work.

Jonathan Drew decided to compensate for his lack of preparedness with hard work and
dedication. He experimented day and night in an infusion process that was unheard
of at the time. In time, his work yielded results and he started to gain the
respect of the people in the region. Eventually, he and Samel met Scott Chester,
and became partners in order to produce and market these cigars. Scott owned an art
studio called ACID, which stands for Arielle Chester Industrial Design. The name
caught on and Acid cigars as they are now called were born.

The rest, as they say, is history. Acid cigars are now one of the most sought after
brands in the world. They offered a process that infused quality herbs and
botanical essences into the leafs of tobacco used in cigars. This, as anyone who
knows about cigars, gives them a very distinctive flavor that separates Acid cigars
from all other cigars in the world. There have been others who have tried to copy
their system. However, Acid cigars will always be known as the ones who started it.
