Acid? Whut?

TanithT · 05-21-2009, 10:38 AM

I made the mistake of sniffing one, and I had to suspect that they have either found a way to mass produce Monica Lewinskis using 80 year old grandmas who bathe in arthritis cream, or somebody let a cat into the humidor who had been chewing on salted mackerel livers and drinking huge amounts of water out of an unflushed toilet.

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?

De gustibus non est disputandum. I don't like them, but our troops love 'em. They actually ask for them by name. So, whatever.......

When I first started smoking cigars, I liked the Acid Kuba Kuba. I've not had one in well over a year and have no idea what I'd think about them now.

I've also had an Acid Blondie and Nasty. Both struck me as the latter. But hey, that's me.

Smoke what you like, like what you smoke.

Your observations are all well and good but...

Drew Estate makes and sells millions of cigars. That said,there are folks here that enjoy them. Speaking for myself,I never ever bad mouth cigars I dislike for fear of hurting someones feelings.

Smoke what you like,like what you smoke.The no snob policy is in full force here.

Never tried an Acid, but the Drew Estate La Vieja Habana Connecticuts are very good IMHO.

Well said brother. All I know is that Corona Cigar in Orlando sells allot of them. So I guess someone out there likes them.

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.

When I was distributing cigars in Afghan everyone wanted flavored cigars. I sent a box to a small team site and was surprised with what I got back via text message. The box I sent them had a lot of premium smokes. It even had a box of 5 vegas and rocky patel. The text said next time can you send some flavored cigars. So I did the only thing I could do I called Fred and posted up here . I even had to get a special cooler for them. Didn't want them ruining the good smokes

i smoked my very first acid cigar today lolololololololololol

TanithT · 05-21-2009, 11:03 AM

It's kind of fun to badmouth cigars I don't like. I'm naughty that way.

I don't intend it to be personal so much as amusing, but your point is taken under advisement, and I appreciate it. I will be sure to send some to the troops. I just won't keep'em in my humidor.

Naughty is fine by me

Eh, I won't hate on DE too much. You won't find a better power mini stick like the C-Note (though for the price you might as well get a normal cigar). Plus the C-Note got me off of cigarettes.

People really smoke these things?? I thought they were a smoker's air freshener.

You know what I mean.... you stick 1 or 2 in the car air vents, 1 in the sock drawer, maybe 3 or 4 over the cats litter box....

hotreds · 05-21-2009, 02:23 PM

The Natural's are not bad at all. I don't care for the sweet tip, but the smokes are nice and aromatic.

GKitty · 05-21-2009, 02:32 PM

I'm going to smoke a Moontrance tonight just to spite you people.

TanithT · 05-21-2009, 12:25 PM

Sodomanaz....why do I have such interesting and yet deeply disturbing mental images when I see your screen name?
