Best ACID cigars

[irratebass]

I haven't had any ACID's yet, I am curious to try them, but not sure which one....the blondie has peaked my curiosity and from reading this thread maybe the Java.

I have only had the Kuba Kuba and I really enjoyed it. I want to try the Kuba Maduro now and the Cold Infusion Tea. I'll eventually get through them all!

Picked these up recently, can't wait to sample some more Drew Estate stuff.

Probably end up getting one of these as well since I have a $40 voucher to StogieBoys.

That was a good read, thanks. Def makes me want to try them even more now.

It was a Groupon deal. $40 for $20 but I had a $10 coupon so I essentially got $40 worth of cigars for $10. Good until March so I think I'll hold off for a little bit.

That's sweet! I can't find any good Groupons in my area for smokes.

I felt the need to bring this up to all of the "anti-infusuion" smokers out there. Cigars International offered a challenge to the top 10 cigar manufacturers (specifics available on the CI website.) This brought forth the Legends series. Drew Estate makes a cigar for this series. It is infused. It is also currently the best selling cigar in the series. This must mean something! I thought the "motto" of this site was "Smoke what you like and like what you smoke". My advice, Smoke 'em if you've got em! I would never say that all (insert your favorite cigar manufacturer's name here) cigars suck or are horrible or anything else to that effect just because it wasn't what I liked or was used to, or because I had smoked 1 cigar from 1 of their many lines and didn't care for it... Just venting. Now I'm gonna go smoke an infused stick. . Safe smokin and long ashes to all!

Nice, the sampler I bought (link above) includes one of the DE Legends. Can't wait to try it.

Acid is the brand that got me into smoking cigars. Blondies are my favorite.
In my short journey to try other non-infused sticks, I've found a few that I really like and a few that weren't so good. I like the thought 'smoke what you like' as long as you enjoy it. I'm glad I branched out and tried different kinds, but I will always enjoy the infused sticks that I like.

Fair enough. I personally wouldn't make the statement that "infused cigars suck." I will say that I have never had one that I thought was good. My wife used to smoke infused so I have tried a fair amount of them and they just don't work for me. I respect Drew Estate as a company and I love their Liga Privada line. I also respect the fact that unlike some other companies DE uses high quality tobacco in their infused sticks rather than using the infusing process as an excuse to get rid of their low grade stock.

I'm not too surprised that the DE Legends is the highest selling blend in the line. Acids are usually consistently the highest selling sticks in a B&M.

I believe you are misinterpreting the advertising usage of the term "Best Seller" to mean that the highlighted product is also the best selling. Although the wording is similar the distinction is dramatic. The term Best Seller is often used by advertisers to emphasize a slow selling prodct and make it seem more desirable to the buyer. I am not saying that is the case here but the two terms are not interchangeable.

Just so that you know where folks are coming from, it is fine to say that a cigar sucks, we are not saying that the smoker (inmate) who enjoys that smoke sucks. There is no violation of our motto. Some folks need to grow a thicker skin and realize that an attack on their preferred cigar is not an attack on them. Enjoy your smokes whatever they are!

I'm a newb, and I'm working my way through the ACID lineup. I got the collectors tin, and so far I find the Blondie was Ok, and I like the C-note but it was a little harsh. I like short smokes, but with more body.

Still several more to try out!

I think we have a Java stashed somewhere as well. I'll have to try that one sometime soon since it's got some good thoughts in this thread.

Try the Krush classics from ACID. They usually come in tins of 10 but uou can sometimes find them sold individually. You may also like the Juicy Lucy from DE's Naturals line

My buddy swears on the Jucy Lucy. Been wanting to try it.

I love the JL for a "quick stick'' There's also a larger version called Big Juicy. Great smoke if you have a little more time. I have only had one other "Naturals" cigar, the Dirt Torpedo, I love all 3 of them. I ordered a Naturals sampler pack from cigar bid. Just waiting for it to season in the humi before I tear into it

I don't know, I found your posts helpful.

I'm going to hit a shop on the way home and see if I can pick up some Javas, o3, and the Krush classics.

The O3 is an online only cigar (I believe from CI.) However I have heard of retailers buying the exclusives like this and secretly selling them. Good luck!

I used to love the natural dirt and javas. Juicy lucy was the one that made me swear off infused sticks.

I don't personally care for them, but I won't bag on anyone that does. They're good smokes.

As the Admiral says: smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

I know for a fact that the Copper Label is the best selling cigar in the series. Not just saying it or trying to be a d!**

Thank you! I hope so too, but as a creature of habit I tend to have my guard up on this subject. It's funny because I could care less about most debates on religion, polotics, or sports. I have my views and am comfortable in my beliefs, but Drew Estate and the 2nd ammendment debates tend to ruffle my feathers

The Naturals line isn't infused
