Which Acid cigar should be my first?

You should tightly wrap a dozen incense sticks together with 10-15 rubber bands, light it up and smoke away: cheaper than any Acid, and I'm willing to bet it's tastier especially when the rubber bands start melting.
Whew!
Sorry, I can't help you on this one, those things smell awful to me! :smiley11:
Good luck in your search... All I can say is, try them all. You may find yourself with the same perception I enjoy! :smiley2:
Why the ignorant response?Quote:

Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or learning. I wasn't ignorant in my response, I was being a smartass--big difference.Quote:

I have heard good about them from others around some circles.Quote:

Way to make an entrance. How about the 5 or so worthless answers you gave in other threads in the last half hour?Quote:

So, all that reading and you never came across a single post about the quality, or lack thereof, of Acid cigars?
Type "acid" into the search tool and see what you find. I'd do it for you but since you're so familiar with the site I'm sure you've already done so.
You obviously did a great deal of searching on the subject of wood and humidors. :smiley20:
ahahahahahaa:smiley32:Quote:

Look, if you had done ANY research and/or reading of posts on this site you'd know that "flavored cigars" like the Acid brand are not well received here.
To put it as honestly as I can, I don't think the Acid brand would make the "Bottom 10" on anyone's list of bad cigars. That says quite a bit about that cigar, but also our smokers ...... who have gotten away from Phillie Blunts, White Owls, Black & Milds, and Swisher Sweets.
Think before you post, read before you think. One you are not with the search function.

Well, just to offer some sort of life line...
My gf wasn't thrilled about cigars until I bought an Acid blondie and offered her the taste. Well I didn't get that cigar back. I always have one or two hidden away somewhere as either a way to get her off my back or just as a change of pace for my own tastes.
Now, let the flames begin!
None. :smiley11:Quote:

Hands down - Acid is a niche cigar. It does not have a huge following, but those that buy into them love them (initially). What's interesting, though (having been around those cigars since they first came out) MOST of those that started their cigar smoking with Acids come to their senses a short time later.
Do us all a favor... This weekend - pick out a Rocky Patel Edge (reasonably priced cigar). Afterwards - smoke an Acid Kuba Kuba. Come back next week and let us know how that went. :smiley2:
Trust me - your fascination for those will fade with time.
Acids suck but hearing that is no reason to get your panties in a bunch. Drew estates make a cigar called liga privada. Its not some nasty flavored shit stick.
BTW - do you think a manufacturer would flavor good tasting, quality tobacco? Of course not. The flavor the sun burnt crap and what they sweep up from the rolling rooms floor.
Advice: (its free)
A: don't be such a phuktard.
B; don't smoke it in your car or house because it will stink for days.
I'm getting awfully tired of all the Backwoods Bashing! :smiley7:
To paraphrase a quote from a long gone member of this board:
"Friends don't let friends smoke Acids"
Cripes, you're always so vague.:smiley36:Quote:

Acids smell like incense and make me wanna go to adult book stores and saw off parking meters.

I think I'd prefer he smoked Macanoodles at this point. Least ways until I get to know him better and take a liking to him... :smiley37:
Now that is funny! LOL!!! :smiley8:Quote:

Yep - definietely personal preferences - and some people think the world of Backwoods, White Owls, A&C Grenadiers, etc. :smiley11:Quote:

So - when I lump A&C, White Owls, Backwoods, Swisher Sweets, etc into that Acid category (admittedly, Acid is better constructed than the others, but definitely not anywhere near the cream of the crop in the cigar world), it is my previous embarassment to the ignorance I suffered that causes me to react rather strongly to people asking me which piece of crap cigar I would prefer to smoke.
Bottom line - none of 'em. And I ain't going back!!! :smiley41:
If you come to a site such as this to talk about cigars - expect talk about cigars. If you've come to compare the various wonderful banana, grape, orange, incense, etc. flavors of crap cigars - it should not be unexpected that one would get a pretty strong negative reaction. it's no different than going to a fine aged spirits site and asking members thoughts about Tequiza (because it does, after all, contain SOME Tequila . :smiley11:
O.K. bwa.....I'll step up and admit that I have smoked a few backwoods myself. I have also smoked an Acid cigar, and some macadoodles.Quote:

There, I said it.
Thanks for sharing! I know it was painful - but trust me - you'll feel better now for opening up to your brothers... :smiley20:Quote:
