The old LVHs were an entirely different cigar, long filler, w/ cameroon capas. Pretty decent cigar actually,
The long-gone LVH Early Years with the broadleaf maduro capas were actually a rather high quality product but CI sold them at such a deep discount it was ridiculous.
Yeah, I hear you. ACIDs aren't for me either. Lot of people like them though - they sell like mad.
I do keep some Tabak Especial negras around, pretty much for the same reason as you did.

I bought a number of boxes of LVH from cigarbid for damn near free. I'd send them to my buddy in North Carolina, because he loved them.
I can't remember what wrappers were on them, one was light, one darker. I was thinking Connie and Cameroon. I don't remember seeing maduros.
The acids are something else. All I can say is that the troops love them, so I gather up what I can. I try not to get them near my nose. I like a flavored cigar from time to time, I really have nothing against them, and if I mouth smoked an acid, maybe it wouldn't be so acrid. I'm guessing that's why kids like them so much? All I can say is EEEeee-yewwww.
Is the Negra the replacement for the Kahlua? I reemember them losing the rights to the name, unless it was another name, and they were going to launch their own replacement.
