Default I've Not Written Off Any Brands Yet

It may just be me, but I have yet to write off any particular brand of cigar. Not to say I have anything against someone who will not purchase a certain brand because of any reason. That's your choice. There are a lot of things I don't like just on a matter of principle.

After smoking many cigars, somewhere in the thousands, I have come to the conclusion I can pretty much find something good from someones hand rolled collection of beauties.

I have to wonder though, when someone smokes (inset cigar here) that they feel is bad inevitably the next words out of their mouth is this brand is crap, I'll never smoke another ____ again. As I said, that is your choice, but you may be missing out on a really fine smoke.

I've written off only one brand so far: Puros Indios.

But well said.

Ok, I can go along with the Cremosa, but I have tried a few of the Acids that were not all that bad.

Default Re: I've Not Written Off Any Brands Yet

people hate on acids because they are sweet and their image is "young and badboy-ish". For me, i smoked a Kuba Kuba just to see what all the hype was about and i actually enjoyed it, not an everyday smoke but sometimes you just want something different. You can judge me until your face turns pink, i enjoyed it.

I'm going to try an acid one of these days - for real. I got one in a MAW a while ago.

I hate acid not because they are sweet, but because they taste like horse ****.

I've smoked one Acid, it was the Kuba Kuba. I smoked it literally for about 1/8" and couldn't do it. Too sweet for me, not to mention the sweeted tip that left my mouth feeling like I had ate a pixy stick.

But I have a buddy who loves em. So like they say, to each their own.

I haven't written off Acids yet. Never had one. They seem too expensive for flavored cigars.

The Nubs do not live up to the hype, but I remember one out of a sampler I tried was ok. In my opinion the ring gage is too large for such a short cigar. But I would not write off Olivia because of the Nub. They make some of my favorites!

Right....I haven't written off Oliva....just the Nubs....so I don't think I've written off any manufacturers....yet.
