I still have one or two Kuba Kubas in a desktop humi for flavored sticks. I liked the two I smoked, but that was a couple of years ago. IDK if I'd enjoy one now. Maybe I should peek in there and find out...

Drew Estate makes and sells millions of cigars...
Just goes to show you that there are a lot of people out there with no taste. This is the same reason I stopped opening $100 bottles of wine when I'm entertaining. Most guests can't tell Charles Shaw from a Château Haut-Brion.

I hated to top the thread, but it's a healthy discussion and the forum is molasses slow. I just got to looking
at a few of them and thinking, "what's the worst that could happen? I hate em and the troops get em?" And I know
some of those guys LOVE EM. But tonight I have to smoke some bacon, and I guess I will smoke my Blondie, too.
I have been wanting to try that big ol E.O.Larry...not a fan of big cigars, but jeez, that thing's impressive. We shall see.
Like was said above, they only suck if you do not prefer that kind of thing. You look at Drew Est. other products and it
is clear that even given the fact they are flavored, it's likely the construction and materials are top notch.

Its one reason I respect them as cigar makers. Acids are made with quality tobaccos IMHO. They just happen to dip it all in my grandmother's perfume. :r

Coke/Pepsi, Ford/Chevy, Beef/Pork...smoke what you like, like what you smoke. Would I smoke an Acid, no, would I look down on someone who does, HELL NO. It's your cigar, enjoy it, hell, maybe the super premium cigar your smoking someone else thinks is dog ****, and you know what, they're right...to them, to you, different story. Shallow minded OP

I remember years back a truly horrid cigar produced for the "skater punk" subculture that smelled almost exactly like this, the Lars Tetens. I have to suspect it's the same maker. Some kindly soul needs to write them and let them know that the big white mints harvested fresh and dripping wet from public urinals are not, in fact, the best humidifiers for your long term cigar storage.

I did not dare smoke it. I put it down slowly and backed out of the humidor. For all I know it was contagious and I am already doomed. But for the love of Ghu, will someone please explain what these people were thinking? Eau de Ben Gay and chemical toilet with the subtle nuttiness of used cat litter is *not* a good cigar flavor. They did this to those cigars on purpose? :confused:

Very well said. Who the hell am I to judge someone else's smoke?

Nah, Tanith just pulled what's called a "OLS". That's where you think you are gonna post something
funny and suddenly everyone is taking the other side, lol. I do it everyday.
And you are right. Everytime I seal up a troops box with ten packs of Black and Milds mixed in
with the other cigars. I long ago quit throwing up a little in my mouth, lol.

Something I posted on another forum back in 2008:

Quote:
When I first started smoking good cigars, like most guys, I did a noObIe sampler here with a great BOTL. One of cigars in there (and there were a ton of good ones) was one of the little Acid 'gars from the tins; it was a "Acid Krush Classic Morado Maduro". The thing came triple bagged and I didn't know why until I opened the bags.....holy crap, this thing had an "aroma" to it. Truth is, I kinda wanted to like it. Thought they might be an interesting diversion, an interesting change up in the smoking rotation. I was stupid enough to actually try to smoke the thing.

Pre-light, the overpowering "aroma" from this thing was strangely familiar. I couldn't figure it out. Then.....it hit me. Years ago, when I was a little kid, I had a really cool uncle that I used to pal around with a bit; Uncle Mel. Uncle Mel was a great guy but he used to wear a little too much "Old Spice" cologne. That was it...!! This stupid thing smelled exactly like it had been dipped in "Old Spice" cologne...!!

I put flame to this thing and the reek and overwhelming odors were in full effect. Like smoking a stick of cheap incense. Oh my god, this thing was awful. Took a second and a third puff to confirm my revulsion, and that was that. That wretched dog turd of a smoke hit the tray forever. I had to power hork two cheap ass bundle sticks to get the taste out of my mouth. I had to use brake cleaner on my stinky to get the reek off the stainless steel. I washed and washed my hands and they still smelled like they'd been shoved up the Avon lady's ass.

Now, here's the interesting part - every, and I do mean EVERY B&M I can recall visiting has these darn smokes in stock! I always ask; "....do you guys sell many of those..??..." and the answer is always the same; "...yep! We sell a bunch of them. Hard to believe it, isn't it..??...".

Well, brothers, I always say "smoke what you like, like what you smoke" so if these are up your alley, more power to you. I promise I'll keep away from them so there will be more for you other guys..... ;)

Re: Acid? Whut?
 
OK, I am no longer an ACID virgin. Had the Blondie tonight, basically one-third of a Lancero....the TOP third, lol.
Pigtail head, golden wrapper, SWEET taste at the head, the unpleasant shock lasted about 3/16ths of an inch and
then it became a NC cigar like any other with only occasional hints of infusion poking in and out, something I think
that people who like these find enjoyable. This was a good cigar, not a great cigar, but certainly not some horriffic
turd-mobile. Based on it's performance and flavor and my standards.....ehhh, 76 pernts.

Re: Acid? Whut?
 
Every so often if I want my wife to hang out while I'm smoking, I'll light up one of the more chocolate/coffee/fruity-flavored Acids because she prefers that aroma to a standard cigar.

Re: Acid? Whut?
 
I did not think they where that bad. Infact quite enjoyable. When you take a wiff of one it smells almost like...Lavender, sandlewood and musk. I love the smell of them.

This thread is freaking hilarious!

I had an Acid a couple of weeks ago, & I was like wtf?

Now mind you, I'm a relative noob, but ugh!

I think that's why the tears in my eyes are from the posts made by some here, because I TOTALLY understand...

Lol, I have smoked some nasty dog rockets. And I would take an ACID of one of them anyday.

Re: Acid? Whut?
 
My first cigar was an Acid Toast, I thought the taste left on my lips was delicious.
I think it is the best cigar to give to a noob to get them into cigars.
I also tried the Acid Kuba, tasted more like tabacco than the toast.

if you love a sweet taste on your lips, you gotta try the Toast!
I look forward to going back and smoking another now that I have tried so many other brands and styles.

I went to a local shop the other day and they where sold out of all Acids.

An ACID Blondie was the first cigar I've ever laid down after 1 puff. Nasty!
But, Drew Estate does make some great sticks such as the Liga Privada T52 and #9. But, because of ACIDS, I didn't try a Drew Estate product for a long time and I was extremely surprised at the LP's.

One of my first Acid's was a Nasty.
They werent kidding.

I am a sucker for some Drew Estate Java's though. Hard to find around my area unfortunatly.

The first time I encountered an acid cigar was a long time ago when I hadn't even heard of them. I was chilling in a lounge enjoying my cigar and started thinking "holy crap! Who's the D-bag wearing WAY too much cologne?!!" When I found out what it was I prayed I'd never get caught sitting in a room with one of those burning again. I've tried a couple without finishing them. Just can't get into those "unique" flavors I guess. I do, though, have to mention the impeccable construction/quality.
