Acid Purple
 

Ok, in an atempt at trying to murder me, Jason sent me a tin of Acid Purple cigarillos. I actually smoked one.....

Drew Estates Acid Purple:

Drew estates uses terms such as juggernaut, super rich infusion, complex hybrid oil and botanical infusion. It is all that and then some. So I decide this is to be my drive home smoke and get it out of the way.

The build:

Coloring was a medium brown with a black mottling of spots. Almost cheatah styled. Nice little cap to cut, surprising to me on this little a cigarillo. Size 5x20 and packed in a tin of 10 with a picture on the inside of the gayest looking person on a crotch rocket motorcycle wearing a camo floppy hat ????? A tad rough looking wrapper, but again not as bad as I expected.

Pre light roll found it to be a hard, tight pack. The Smell was vile, a super sweet cloying smell like walking into an old fashioned candy store. The approximate smell was grape, similiar to the grape Backwoods if you have ever smelled one of those. Pre-draw was very firm, not plugged, but one step below. I tried rolling it a bit to loosen it up.

The smoke:

Lit it with the ole zippo with Z-blaze insert (love them). Immediatly I was overwhelmed on the lips and tounge with this grape flavor, no sense or taste of tobacco. First few puffs, almost creamy???? After about 1/4" into it I can start to taste the tobacco on the back of the tounge and throat (I'm trying to keep the herbal oils from being swallowed). It's a very rough harsh tobacco. It also has a far amount of vitaman N. I know this as cigars heavy in the nic department cause my throat to tighten up and close a bit.

I smoked this cigar to the band, couldn't get it off as I was putting down the interstate (thank god). By the time it flew out the window the throat was rough, I could not get the taste off the lips and tounge. The car smelled of a 10 cent piece of cheap grape bubble gum. As I was headed to my bar for a bourbon to use as a disinfectant, I sped up. I tried 2 EW Sgl Brl on the rock and a twist of lime and an Olivia G...... I wasted good alcohol and a decent smoke trying to clear my taste buds. Sometimes evil wins the battle.

The sending of this tin of "smokes" would normally have me getting on my
motorcycle, riding 14 hours to Bama and cutting all Jason's cigars up with a very dull butter knife. He did save his cigars with one of the other sticks in the bomb he sent to me.

So to recap - a very evil and vile cigar. I have a friend who smokes Backwoods grape and the honey tobacco (I just can't call them a cigar). The other 9 will be enjoyed by him. But as always, YMMV, feel free to try one.

:pu Thanks for the review... :pu

Re: Acid Purple
 

Believe it or not, from the cigarillos the purple ones are the best ones! :r:r

Re: Acid Purple
 

Sounds like a christmas wish :dance:

Re: Acid Purple
 

yum?

Re: Acid Purple
 

Ok, Emjaysmash wants the rest of them.... I will mail the last 9 and 1 decent stick to him. PM MJ if you want it after him....... MJ, your gonna regret this. The Acid Purple pass is on :puWho else is tough to handle one?

Re: Acid Purple
 

the thought of the pass scares me.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Cowboy up and sign onto the pass. To tough for a Brit to handle?

Re: Acid Purple
 

ugh, okay. I guess it'll be a laugh.

Re: Acid Purple
 

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! they sound dirty and you deserve it :)

Re: Acid Purple
 

Well:
1- MJ
2 - Dooge

you want slot #3?

Re: Acid Purple
 

LOL sorry Mike I had to do something to you after you attacked a CAV Brother.

Re: Acid Purple
 

We live to experience and it was an experience. BTW, we decided your getting # 10 in the Acid pass. The RASS saved you - that is one fine smoking stick :dr It may die a very firey death soon.

Re: Acid Purple
 

I am sorry but by PASS rules in the stickies state one should not get into a pass if one thinks they may not be able to complete/or fulfill the pass requirements. So respectfully I decline the pass.

Re: Acid Purple
 

No problem. As your the end of the pass and it will not need to go any further, it's all good. It's like one of those boomerang things, you tossed it out there but it's on a long return path home. :ss

Re: Acid Purple
 

Your Kung-fu is weak my friend.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Ha its not a pass for you. Last person get to bomb ya! (thank g-d im first)

Re: Acid Purple
 

Entertaining review!! You're more daring than I.

Re: Acid Purple
 

wow hope you dont call jason a friend lol

Re: Acid Purple
 

Jason's ok, just has a problem understanding what constitutes a good cigar. Paybacks can be a real ***** though.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Hey now I did send some other goodies to ease the pain.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Very true - and greatly appreciated..... But you did attack with provication, I just can't ignore that.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Package recieved. Took one Acid purple and the "not-as-crappy-as-an-Acid" stick, which was a Gran Habano #5 Corojo. Smells Tasty! My stick to add was a Camacho SLR from 2005. Should be off to Andy as soon as i find some money for shipping. Where it goes afterwards, nobody knows!

Re: Acid Purple
 

No "floral"?


Darn.

Re: Acid Purple
 

MJ, go on the cheap... I paid like $1.80 first class mail. As it's 1 real cigar and a tin, no need for priority mail. Only took 2 days to get to you.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Well, Al you got the balls to get in on this taste and review pass? :ss

Re: Acid Purple
 

Actually it was $2.02...but I also have your addy now...:D

Re: Acid Purple
 

BTW, this thing smells like grandma....

Re: Acid Purple
 

I'll pass. (pardon the pun) :D

Re: Acid Purple
 

I can always bring em to him, might see him this weekend ;)

*evil laugh*

Re: Acid Purple
 

Hell, I don't even try to hide my address anymore. Between Al and Don, they pass it around like a bottle of Boone's Farm Apple. :al

Re: Acid Purple
 

Thanks for the offer but Jersey boys are weak sisters. Even a Brit has signed on to this pass along with Don.... And he just must be a glutton for punishment.

Re: Acid Purple
 

I can not believe this is actually happening

Re: Acid Purple
 

don't worry Jason, you will be punished for this.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Yessir - you started an evil pass. But it WILL end with you. We still need a few sturdy souls after it arrives at Dooges. Anyone, Bueller, Bueller?

Re: Acid Purple
 

I NEVER started a Pass.... It was all meant for you.

Re: Acid Purple
 

It's Christmas time, how could I not share my pain.... err joy and wealth at this time of year. I have seen the Christmas Carol and do not need the 3 Christmas Ghosts visiting me, so I share with my BOTLs.

Re: Acid Purple
 

*ahem* hate to jack the thread here, but I just wanted to clarify that this "Jason from Alabama who sends Acid cigars" is NOT the Jason from Alabama who refuses to smoke and/or send $*** like that to other fine BOTLs. That is all :r :r

THE Jason from Alabama ;)

Re: Acid Purple
 

Well, step up to the plate and volunteer to do a review of one. I would hope your tougher than a Bama type..... Are you in?

Re: Acid Purple
 

guilty by association Jason from Alabama

Re: Acid Purple
 

:tpd: Jason #1 - Jason #2 what's the diff?

Re: Acid Purple
 

Yeah Jason #2 needs to be #10 on the list :)

Re: Acid Purple
 

You are - Jason #1 will be #9

Re: Acid Purple
 

I set myself up for that one.

Re: Acid Purple
 

Ya keep trying to tangle with the Navy......

Re: Acid Purple
 

if Volt wouldn't have been so quick to reply, I would have Jason. Don't worry, you are screwed.

Re: Acid Purple
 

What have I ever done to you

Re: Acid Purple
 

nothing Jason, but somebody has to start the unfriendlies :r

Re: Acid Purple
 

i should have never jacked this thread....i'm so confused now.

Re: Acid Purple
 

you're not confused yet Jason, just wait till the bags of acids start dropping in :)
