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!

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.

If anything, you are adding waste to the forum with your worthless answer.

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?

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.

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!

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.

Macanoodles or Acid's... Damn! Decisions, decisions...

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...

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.

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

I'll admit I was that way before having a real cigar. I tried an Acid Kuba Kuba in my early days of smoking cigars. My experience pretty much goes along with what has already been said about Acids on this board.

**bigwhiteash** · 09-10-2009, 09:58 AM

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!!!

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 .

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.

I have smoked White Owls, Swisher Sweets, Phillies and even a Prime Time filtered thingy.

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...
