I don't think the flames are posted at the taste buds, but he asked the opinion of the board, and they gave it to him, and he totally over- reacted.

Really? If you think our friend was "ignorant" with his response to your question - you oughta see the "ignorance" you will get from the guys at my local shop if you light up an Acid in their presence.
Did you ever stop to think what you were adding to this forum with your question about Acids? So - what's next brother? Did you perhaps want to know what our favorite Backwoods or White Owls are? :smiley36:
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:
Or Macanudos, but that is a whole other discussion.
Acids suck stay away from them. Tried them on a whim with my buddies once, we all threw them away after an inch if that and were so disgusted by them we didn't even want to smoke something else afterward. Crap gar bottom line.
Acids smell like incense and make me wanna go to adult book stores and saw off parking meters.
You dickheads need to save the old fucker a scrap or 2 :smiley38:
its all personal preferances. I got a 5'er of the blondes to try them, but you would go to a smoke shop and actually smell them to see what ones fit you best.
I like the ORIGINAL Backwoods for fishing cigars.
Never had an Acid... closest thing was some Drew Estate Irish Hops thing that was given to me.
Ok, pk, ok... You caught me with my pants down...
I admit it. Yes - I was a HUGE fan of A&C Grenadiers years ago. Flog me for it - I deserve it...
But - that was before a tobacconist at a "legit" cigar shop took one apart in front of me and showed me what was there (i.e. bits of newspaper, string, paper binder, cheap wrapper, etc.) Literally - the cigar was garbage. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Absolute crap.
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:
