Yeah.... the aroma is too intense for your humi... but I've had some while I was a beginner smoker, and the Blondie was one that put me on the track to great cigars. Nowadays, I'm not too keen on the strong flavor and the sweetness, but this was one of the Gateways to my cigar addiction

I tried the Kuba Kuba and it wasn't a bad smoke, just the flavor was a bit much for me. It was too sweet but it was rolled well and held a great ash! But it was also one of my early smokes and helped me learn what I like a little better. I believe the next cigar I had after that was a CAO Brazillia and THAT was a good smoke! I think the Acid made me appreciate the CAO even more than I would have.

ive never been a fan. of acid cigars. Drew estates does put out some good non flavored sticks. La Vija Habanna was a good cigar i recall and so is the liga pravada

DiasFlak

yeah i think when you start out and your young you want something with flavor my first was the java by drew estates i still love that cigar today just the shop i got it from is too far and my local shops dont carry it its a shame but im sure ill order some off of the net soon enough ill have to try his regular ones though i think that will be one for later down the line.

Never tried them. Might be interested, but never found anything explaining what flavors they are - since the names aren't exactly descriptive of flavors.

DiasFlak

i cant explain the nasty that is something you just have to try the blondie is a vanilla i would say.

I have smoked nearly all of the Acid and Natural lines by Drew Estates. I enjoyed most of them for what they were seriously infused ( not flavored ) cigars. I Bought a box of the natural line Clean Robusto because it was the best out of the line in my opinion. I also enjoyed the cold tea and blondie cigars. They are worth a try but will probaly never become your everyday stick.. They are interesting, well made, and a nice change of pace cigar.

Here's my opinion on Acids. I can't stand them, I can't stand any flavored(or infused) cigar, the only flavor I want in my cigar is that of the tobacco. Honestly Acids kind of irritate me some too bc they are taking very high end tobacco in a lot of cases and then infusing flavor covering up all the natural beauty of that tobacco.

All that said you have to respect Acid, their cigars are infused not dipped to get these flavors. The flavors are creative and interesting not just, honey or strawberry, etc. They are typically very high quality cigars and push the envelope in terms of vitolas, which I am always for. Finally Acid cigars have brought people into our hobby that otherwise would have never enjoyed it. I have a friend that didn't like cigars at all then had an Acid and started smoking them fairly regularly. Now after a year of smoking those he has moved into non-infused cigars. If it hadn't been for the Acids he would have never developed a liking for cigars.

yeah if it wasent for java by drew estate i would still be smoking malboro lights!

Sadly I picked up my first cigarette in 2.5 years while I was in New Orleans last week. I haven't smoked one since but still.

i have some friends that smoke cigarettes that were looking at cigars. I tell them, "cigarettes are a great way to burn out your palate"





oh and that cigarettes are an abomination to tobacco.

Perhaps an abomination of marketing... Joe Camel, the Marlboro man... kinda makes me think marketing itself is an abomination.

On topic here.... I have had one Acid to date, the Def. Sea ltd, and I enjoyed it. I'm not against flavored/infused cigars if they have good flavors and don't offend me with perfuminess. I have a Kuba Kuba that I want to try one of these days... its been aging

no its not. marketing is what makes all of us money to buy cigars. without it nobody would buy stuff from the places we work. ... that and my wife is IN marketing. marketing is great.

A red-head in marketing, damn kuzi do you sleep with one eye open? We all know red-heads rep, but marketing is cutthroat. I'm scared of your wife, officially, and I don't even know her.
