Just what I said back on the old board...and still true!

Wouldn't surprise me if Macanudo was the best-selling cigar.

Mild, easily found(almost everyone carries them, even Rite-Aid), fairly priced, name recognition and marketing.

Most casual smokers tend to go for milder stuff and I guess most retailers/B&M employees would point to those.

Oh, so we have met!

Well the Macanudo and bud light comparison makes sense, but then it seems like a completely different explanation would be needed for the popularity of Acids. Wouldn't the drink comparison for Acids be something like this?

I disagree, Bob.

Macanudos have no taste.

Budweiser does have a taste...pretty much "goat whiz".

If we invented a cigar with that flavor, we could be bajillionaires....

Machine made cigars still outsell handmades 10 to 1.

For reals?
