Acid Cigars
 

Has anybody here tried them? Which one is your favorite? I havent smoked a cigar yet but i plan on a Acid one being my first. Also, if i like them and buy a box of them i will most likely only smoke one every week or two. So i want a humidor that will let them last a long time. Whats a good humidor for Acid cigars?

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Theyre definatly not my cup of tea... im not into the "flavor infusion" or whatever it is... any humidor will do, but you dont want to mix infused/flavored sticks with regular sticks... so make sure before committing and filling your humidor that these type of smokes are the way you want to go... good luck!

Oh and check out the new inmate section of the forum and introduce yourself.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Whats flavor infusion? Can i mix two different kinds of flavor infusion cigars or do they both have to have their own humidor?

Re: Acid Cigars
 

ummm.....what he said. I'm not a flavor smoke kinda guy but whatever you do..NEVER store them with non flavoreds. In fact...IMO if you get a humidor and store Acids in it...that humi is forever reserved for flavor infused sticks! Once the humi has hosted these cigars, the humi itself becomes "infused"

Just curious...what made you decide on Acid for a first smoke?

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I've had an Acid helix remix. Wasn't bad. If you want flavor infused, I recommend something by Drew Estate.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Acids are very popular and many smokers first cigar. Here is a nice sampler from CI. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...tem=SP-AIMISC5
I would store them in a tupperware or a snaplock type container. This is probably the cheapest way to store cigars. :2

Re: Acid Cigars
 

:tpd: Bob is wise. A rubbermaid will store Acids just as well as a wooden humi and will resist becoming infused with the flavor.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Thanks for the advice Sir.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

You won't find a lot of fans of Acid cigars here. We try not to be cigar snobs here, but most of us just plain don't like them. They are basically cigars that use cheap tobacco and cover it up with perfumes and incense. Nothing wrong with smoking them if that is what you like, but before committing to buy many of them, try a few, and then try a few non-infused cigars.

Welcome!

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Thanks for the advice. What are some good quality non-infused cigars for first timers?

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Seriously not trying to be that guy ;s but Acid is a brand of Drew Estates. Hick I think Chris was referring to trying something like the Java or the Natural line which are a lot more tolerable to those of us that don't enjoy flavored cigars when compared to Acids.
I say try them and maybe do some reading here to see what others like and find yourself a couple nice mild non-flavored smokes to try also. Everyone has to start somewhere so we will not stone you for smoking flavored cigars. When I was still living in NY and was a fireman on Long Island my guilty pleasure was smoking Backwoods during Brush season when I knew we would be at a brush fire in the woods all day. Never wanted to bring a premium along when burning brush smoke was around most of the time so they were great for the situation. Your just starting and part of the fun is trying different things to find what you like. I've been smoking for many years now and still love to try new sticks whenever possible. Like others said, just be sure to keep your flavored and non-flavored smokes separated. Welcome to the board and enjoy the journey.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

LOL, guess my mind slipped off for a drink when I posted that. Thanks for the correction and you definitely picked up on what I was aiming for.

Try an Isla Del Sol as one of your first as well, if you want a good flavor infused stick. The IDS was my first box purchase. I smoked half and sold the rest except like 2. I still have one. It's almost 2 years old now. :) I look forward to smoking it one day actually. I rarely smoke a flavored cigar anymore. Just got turned off on them after having so many good non infused ones.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I have never had an acid.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Acids are an interesting cigar. I loved them when I started smoking but after I smoke 20 cigars before having another, they had lost all their appeal to me. I still like to smoke an occasional acid when I'm doing something out doors like golfing. Other than that I tend to lean toward other sticks. Acids should only be kept with other acids. Since you are new start of with tupperware container like bobarian said. Than make up your mind from there as to what you would like to store them in. I ended up getting a 25ct humidor to keep mine separated from the cigars in my vino so I didn't mix the flavors. Got some beads and i check it weekly and add water when needed. Very easy to take care of.


And just remember, smoke what YOU like.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I've had one, and I wasnt about to try that again. Just not my thing, but a whole lot of people love them. I would recommend trying a nice mild-medium non-flavored cigar soon though. Tobacco has enough wonderful flavors on its own, you really should take one for a spin. Maybe the La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial?

Re: Acid Cigars
 

It's unfortunate that some manufacturers do actually practice that method of flavored cigar blending/creation, thankfully, Drew Estates, the makers of the ACID line, is not one of them.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I will admit that I have purchased some infusions, I had never had an infused cigar so I bought an Acid sampler and a CAO Flavours sampler.

I have had one out of each. They each lasted about 2 puffs and I couldn't take it anymore, the CAO Flavours one I tried almost didn't get lit as just putting it in my mouth unlit about made me throw up.

So I have 2 of these almost full samplers sitting around and I am planning on using them in some sort of truely evil diabolical plot.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

:tu

I've had a few different ones and only liked two of them. I don't remember what one of them is and the other is the Kuba Kuba. I still have a couple of Kuba Kuba's and although I haven't had one in a while I think I'll still enjoy one when the time comes.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I'll admit openly that I've t a 100 count humi full of nothing but ACIDS. It's what I smoked when I first got back into cigars...and over the past year, my appreciation of cigars has taught me to take good care of them. So they are well maintained at 65% RH. I didn't like all ACIDS, and I haven't even smoked one myself in probably 11 months now. But I won't bad mouth them...they're one of the hottest sellers in most B&M's.
It's funny...we buy traditional cigars and spend a fortune on the ones that you can detect nuances of flavor in. Drew Estates produces cigars that you don't need to detect a nuance...it's right there in your face. And it's probably $12 cheaper than the Cuban that has undertones of coffee and chocolate to it...lol

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Feel free to continue a discussion of ACID cigars, but for those who haven't noticed, the OP has been banned and won't be reading your replies.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

ha ha, yea the kid didn't learn quick enough to not get banned.

On the subject of infused / flavored, not a fan, I don't like the feeling that I get in my mouth when smoking them, it feels like someone sprayed sugar or what not in my mouth after every puff.

No bueno

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Banned already?! Geeze.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

He stated in an other post he was 15, banned due to that would be my guess.

On Acids. I smoked an Acid Purple one time. Never again shall a Acid or Drew Estates pass my lips. Why ban all Drew Estates you ask, because anyone who produce that chemical impacted, perfume smelling, vile sugary tasting "cigar" cannot possibly know what good tobacco is or used for. I have smoked a Creamosa before and would willing choose it over an Acid.

Already? He lasted a whole hour I think...

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I just recently bought an Acid and Java. I haven't smoked either of them yet. I am pretty new to cigars so after reading these post I thought this might be a good cigar for me.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

They're not bad cigars if you like really sweet sticks.

Just keep them stored in another box away from your non-flavored stock. :tu

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I still do not get the concept of flavored cigars. For me, it eliminates the whole meaning of actual cigar smoking. If you want something flavored, why not pick up some colts, prime times or captain blacks. I see it pretty useless making infused cigars. Then again, who am I to judge. To each its own i guess.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Ever had a Liga Privada?

Re: Acid Cigars
 

They're oogy.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

The Liga Privada Tom? What's..."oogy?"

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Not the Liga Privada, Mario, I was talking about the infused Acids.

Annie Wilkes can tell you what "oogy" means.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Got it! Thanks Tom!

Re: Acid Cigars
 

It's funny however when people at work find out you smoke cigars always seem to say "I smoke cigars occasionally too, I love acids." They really are one of the most popular cigars.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Acids are crazy popular. The boys in the sandbox ask for them specifically, which always struck me as kind of odd.
I like a flavored cigar from time to time. Acids, not so much. The Isla Del Sol is good, and Java's are good. The whole CAO Flavours tubos line is good with the exception of the Moontrance, maybe. It's real close to an Acid. The CAO smokes in other sizes, not so good. There's too much flavor and chemical stink and they taste like burning tires and garbage about a half an inch in.
I have about a dozen jars of flavored smokes and I keep them full all the time. We spend a lot of time smoking on the back porch, and it's a way to make sure that there's a cigar for even the non-smokers. I can't even put a number on how many people I've turned on to the joy that is cigars via flavored smokes.
They definately have their place, even if most totally suck. :D

Re: Acid Cigars
 

I think if you were going to start with Acids i would go for the Blondie's.

i smoked them for a while starting out. they have a nice vanilla taste on the wrapper that sticks on the lips which is kinda nice. they are real smooth. overall i think that they are good, i just dont smoke them on a regular basis. Ya kinda move on, but sill have those acids around for a here and there kinda thing.

the smaller the size of the cigar, i found, the more non tobacco flavor you will get.

anyway, enjoy the smoke man. let us know how you like it.

Re: Acid Cigars
 

As much as I have no desire to ever smoke another acid, they are what got me into cigars. I would walk into the shop to pick up some acids, and eventually decided to try different smokes after that. They are a good place to start for someone who has never smoked, but I just wouldn't want to stay there for too long.:tu

Re: Acid Cigars
 

Actually he was banned for being a Troll, and his constant referencing his marijuana smoking, and trying to convince everyone that it is healthier than smoking cigars. So yeah, in a round about way he got banned for being 15. Although apparently you can become a forum member at 14 without parental consent, 13 with.
