At this time, these four new Acid Blondies will only be available in the Drew Estate G-Fresh packaging. This packages a single Acid cigar in a sealed back with a humidipak pack. This packaging was launched about a year ago for Acid Blondie and Acid Kuba Kuba. The G-Fresh pack is aimed at convenience stores to provide a fresh cigar. They have a shelf life of one year. According to Drew Estate’s John Brooke, the company may explore boxed options for the new Acid Blondies.
