Acid cigars
 

Just got a tin sampler of Acids. SHould I keep them away from the non-flavored cigars in the humi?:sh

Re: Acid cigars
 

Yes

Re: Acid cigars
 

Thank you sir.

Re: Acid cigars
 

yes... do not mix them with other smokes or the acid flavors will infuse them for sure.

Re: Acid cigars
 

:tpd: This. And your humi too.

Re: Acid cigars
 

It's not clear from your question, but don't even keep the Acids in the same humidor as your other cigars. If you don't have another humidor, make up a quick tupperdor and stick them in there.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Keep your Acid cigars away from your other cigars, and out of your humidor!!!

Re: Acid cigars
 

Buy a tupperware container at Walmart and throw 'em in there. :2

Re: Acid cigars
 

When I was buying those sampler tins, I'd just pick up a Boveda Pak and throw it in the tin with the cigars. Worked fine. So well in fact, that I once had 4 tins that I was using as my only humidors. My how things change... :)

Re: Acid cigars
 

Whats kinda weird is after seeing this thread, I kinda want to smoke one... :confused:

Re: Acid cigars
 

I think they'd be fine if you left them in the tin. I have always heard to keep flavored cigars separate, but I always have a handful in my humidor for folks that like em. They have never rubbed their flavor off.

Re: Acid cigars
 

:tpd:Yep. My wife likes the CAO flavored stuff every now and then. If you keep em in the tin they won't affect your other cigars.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Having smoked a fair number of Acids, the only one I would recommend is the Opulence 3.

Not hatin', just warnin' :)

Re: Acid cigars
 

Thanks, one and all. I got a Xikar pack and now they're in a plastic container. I did try the KUBA KUBA last night not too bad. Very mild.-(P

Re: Acid cigars
 

Oh trust me, I've had a few as well... I dont generally smoke them or like them but I felt like having one after this thread...

"My minds telling me no.... but my body... my BODY IS TELLIN ME YEEEEAAASSSS." LOL

Re: Acid cigars
 

That's because the only one that YOU liked was that particular cigar, when truth of the matter is, they're all great cigars...to someone. If the Opulence is the only one you'd recommend, it surprises me that Drew Estate sells the Kuba Kuba and Blondie 3/1 over anything else in the Acid line.

Re: Acid cigars
 

You can keep your flavored cigars in their own humidor, a ziplock bag, or a bail jar (or cigar jar). The bail jars look nice, they're about ten bucks at walmart. They have plastic ones or glass ones.
My wife keeps her flavored cigars in cigar jars like that. Keeps them great. :tu

Re: Acid cigars
 

Has a nice ring to it Scott!! :tu :tu

Re: Acid cigars
 

Ya know, Wade, there's a lot of stuff put on the dinner table that I eat, but it doesn't necessarily make it great.

Re: Acid cigars
 

It sure does, Mac. :D

Re: Acid cigars
 

To you, but to someone else, it may be their favorite dish. Just sayin', I've said a thousand times in the humidor at work, "every cigar in here is terrible, every cigar in here is wonderful...to someone." Just no disputing that.

Re: Acid cigars
 

What does my recommendation have to do with the sales figures of Drew Estate's product line? It was just a recommendation. Others who have smoked Acids are welcome to recommend their favorites, but I don't see them posting in here.

Just trying to help a brother out--a brother who I've shared sticks with before.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Just an implication that the others are bad.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. ;)

Re: Acid cigars
 

Yes, what he said...lmao:noon

Re: Acid cigars
 

Would this Apply basically to any "Flavored" Cigar? The only Flavored Cigar I Smoke really is the Drew Estate Tubak Especial I love those, and are my #1 Favorite Infused Cigar.

Ive kept them in General Cigar Population in my Humidors, But They usually dont last long because I end up smoking them.

Re: Acid cigars
 

It will take many weeks if not months for flavors to meld between cigars. Over the short term storing any infused cigar will not likely have any negative affect. Just because you can smell some of the flavors does not mean it has penetrated the cigar enough to notice any difference in taste. Most of us are very paranoid about our cigar storage but in reality cigars are much more durable than we think. :2

Re: Acid cigars
 

Paranoid is probably the best way to describe things, but I'd rather just not take any chance of flavors melding. I don't smoke flavored/infused cigars, but I've got a CAO vanilla that my fiancee wanted me to grab for her so that she can smoke with me sometime, and it's patiently waiting in its own small tupperware until she wants it.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Sounds Reasonable enough.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Bob, what about the humidor itself? Any chance that the wood might hold some of that infused smell for a period of time extending past removing the cigars?

Re: Acid cigars
 

I have stored flavored cigars in a bag in my humidor before. They only stayed in there maybe a week, but the bag did a good job of holding it in and not spreading to the rest of the humi.

Re: Acid cigars
 

I've only dealt specifically with the Tabak Especial's Sammy asked about in his post. Given the short amount of time(a few weeks) I dont see how they could affect the wood. Month's at a time or with large quantity of more strongly infused cigars, then alternate storage is probably best. But you will find most B&M's store many, many boxes of Acid's in very close proximity to their regular stock.

Also, if you consider the amount of exposed surface area and the cello wrappers on both the infused and regular cigars, the amount of oil transference seems like it would be very minimal. When tobacco is infused at the factory it is done before rolling the leaves, a much larger surface area is exposed than you have with a rolled cigar. :2

Re: Acid cigars
 

Thanks Bob. :)

Re: Acid cigars
 

Put them in the potpourri bowl in the washroom, imo the best use for them.

Re: Acid cigars
 

before i go right into what i wanted to say i would like to introduce myself!! names micah sparks - and as odd as it may sound (to some) i am a male, some just comment its a female name regularly but i beg to differ seeing as how i recieved the name via the bible and micah was a man as well!

anywho, i was just surfing the web about cigars and i wound up here on the cigar asylum forums. and i know there's no better way to get to be educated in cigars and cigar smoking but to spend time on furms with professionals and true connoisuers! i've only been smoking cigars for about three quarters of a year but havent been able to smoke cigars on a regular basis and get more acquainted to tasting the wide variety of great tastes. so with my new found hobby i learned some smoking techniques on youtube with smoke rings pipe dreams' videos and was easily fascinated with infused cigars such as the tabak especial.

but just the other day i was shopping online for some cigars since i cant find any cigar shops where i'm currently stationed in japan. on this website i found the tabak especial line and ordered a smaller box of both the dulce and the negra line within tabak especial. but since i'm in the military i can only (and barely) afford space for one travel size humidor that fits roughly 20 cigars. if i store both these cigars in the humidor how bad do you think storing the two together would effect the taste of one another? and if i were to store some in a bag, are plastic bags like ziplocks qualifiable?

i apologize for the long paragraphs, i've always got a lot to say! but thanks in advance for any replies :)

Re: Acid cigars
 

I keep a tin on hand on my top shelf after My pallet walked away from them it doesn't concern me how fresh I keep em.

Re: Acid cigars
 

I have 1 red eye in my humi that hasn't effected the other sticks yet and its been in my traveldor for a long while. The Tabak red eye is more a cigar than infused though, at least to me.

Re: Acid cigars
 

I would even keep them away from your mouth. I can't think of anything good that could come from it.


I kid, hell I have a few. Same amount I had 2 years ago.

Welcome aboard. Please take a moment to introduce yourself here: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=7

You will also find a ton of information located in the stickies at the top of each forum section.

To your question, there is no problem storing these cigars together as both the only difference is the wrapper. The Dulce being a natural wrapper and the Negra a maduro. Plastic ziplocks or tupperware make great short term storage. :2

Re: Acid cigars
 

thats why i was wondering, they are essentially the same cigar but i've still got much to learn!

Re: Acid cigars
 

This won't be the first time I have made a comment at one end of the spectrum in a thread and then gone full on the other way. In this case,
not Full On, but over there some. My troop support buys often have me buying Acids, but I have a lot of Havanas, so there is no reason to
worry about Acids. But the last order I made from JR, I felt like getting some Acids and this time, FOR ME. I always give em all away, and
the last time i kept a KubaKuba for me. That was years ago, and it is still unsmoked. But like EMJAY said above, I am getting a jones for a
Blondie. I have pulled it out for tomorrow. This will be my first Acid, and I can guarantee it will not make me a Acid buyer, but I had one of
the C-Notes, and while it reeked of gank, it also TASTED of tobacco, which I like to smoke, lol. So I am going to sample the sampler.
My God, if I blog on this thing I will never hear the end of it. But it ought to make a pretty unique entry, that's for sure.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Eh, I don't see why everyone hates on them. I have a small humi just for them. Usually has 10-30 sticks in it. They're a nice change of pace. They're also good for newbies who come to herfs. Ask for a stick, give them something most newbies like.

Re: Acid cigars
 

Maybe because they smell like cheap, French hoowah's at a purfume counter. Or Patchouli. Take your pick. :r

Shame on you, Brad! :sl :D

Re: Acid cigars
 

Haha Well I commend you for taking a crack at it! Be sure to give us your thoughts!
I'm sort of in the mood for one as well. I smoked a Nasty a while back, and have been hankerin' for another. I just can't justify buying one.

Re: Acid cigars
 

They still make these things? I heard that they had been the cause of many deaths due to beatings...apparently they turn your hair the color of the happy rainbow.

Re: Acid cigars
 

I got a needle and strung some fishing line through an Acid Deep Dish and Acid Liquid, hung them up outside to keep the mosquitos away.
