I'm excited to try any new cigar which these days is pretty much every single one, heh!

    HA! Excellently illustrated point Sir! I indeed LOL'd. I don't type my LOL's lightly either. I take truth in LOL'ing very seriously!

    Specifically though, I was wondering if storing any ACID Cigars among the traditionally flavored ones would "contaminate" (for lack of a better term, heh) them. I've seen ACID Cigars in pretty much every local shop, which honestly though isn't many by any stretch with just 4 that sell hand rolled (read: not Swisher Sweets, Black & Mild, anything "berry" flavored, etc. ) cigars with in 5o~ miles and really only one I'd classify as an actual Tobacconist rather than tourist trap or head shop, heh. I just wasn't sure if ACID is a brand of cigar or just a line of cigars produced by some brand and, either way, if all ACID Cigars are infused and need to be segregated.

    P.S. After years upon years of seeing probably thousands of smileys I've finally found it - THEE BEST SMILEY that has ever been um... digitally smiled (I guess is the term? HA)



    ... it's not just an emotion conveying icon. THAT, Sirs and Ma'ams, is raw poetry in smiley form and indeed worthy of no less than a SECOND LOL'ing!


    P.P.S I'm completely full of shit. I'm a total slave to the abbreviations that make up roughly 98% of every teenage girl's postings (just kidding - 96% tops) HA!

    Sorry - I know you'll be disappointed, but I really can't imagine anyone on this board is willing to pull together a full dissertation for you about Acid cigars. But - thankfully - this board has a great search function. Let it be your friend! And - if that doesn't work - Google works very well too!

    Good luck!

    Yeah I wouldn't expect anyone to take the time to provide me with all the factual particulars easily found using google, just some opinions here and there. Nothing tops just firing one up for yourself though !

    I'm in no hurry though. The thing I enjoy most so far about cigars is the "discovery" of new brands and flavors having as little experience as I do currently. Someday (probably soon now because my interest is peaked) I'll pick a couple up or, and this may be looked down on but, a tin of their cigarillos. I get the impression that pretty much every small cigar make sold in tins are machine made. Aside from some tinned Cohibas I bought that I think were older than me , I've enjoyed all the ones I've tried so far. Plus I've found it easier to get my cigarette smoking buddies (who often flat refuse to smoke a full cigar with me for some odd reason ) to try one with me so I can have someone to talk to about them as I'm smoking which ever for the first time.

    I looked up ACID's homepage and they definitely sound great as I'm already starting to lean toward darker wraps and they appear to offer several. I spoke to a friend about them though and he gave me the impression they are "cut" or infused with herbs and flowers or some sh!t. Wasn't really clear on what he was getting at with that statement. If either these were the maker's infused and intended flavors or if he was just trying to be "poetic" about the flavors like wine connoisseurs tend to. I don't know but I intend to find out soon, heh!

    Really is it that hard to figure out that Acids(all of them) are flavored? Infused is just a marketing term, to disassociate them from gas station cigars.

    Actually that is where some of my confusion was born. I guess I must've just kind of assumed that "infusion" meant they'd applied some kind of chemical or flavoring agent to the tobacco. The only two specific "infusions" among their labels I can find is the ACID One: "cured with Red Wines and Sangria," and the SAUZA Tequila infused with, um.... I forgot what that one is infused with .

    Thier other makes are described as having the "qualities" of this or that flavor or the "aroma" of so and so (for example the "aroma" of peach cobbler, Ghiradelli Cocoa, roses or just floral). Haven't seen the first cut and dried descriptive in reference to this brand like "Rum" or "Vanilla".

    If their marketing ploy was to cause intirgue though its certainly working on me, heh. The more reading and talking about 'em done the more I'm selling em to myself to pick up a few with my next order !

    Sorry I'm pretty new, not just to this site but Cigars in general. I just realized I should probably be reading the Review forum here to get a better understanding of the ACID brand and their "flavorings".

    On topic though, what I was specifically wondering is that if no flavoring additive was applied to them would they still impact the flavor of one's other cigars?

    PT Barnum loved folks like you!

    If you feel compelled to succumb to Acid marketing - more power to ya! Honestly - tell us how that goes!!!

    You actually READ what he posted Old Spice? If so, you're a better man than me. I don't have the patience to read his dissertations, instead I just scan them and if I see a couple of needs/questions/concerns in all that bullshit that I can help him out with, I'll respond but for the most part, I don't read most of what he posts.

    No, I skim it since its filled with embellishment. I'm just amazed that someone who is so effusive is so unaware new or not.

    To answer his question, cigars that are not flavored can be stored with each other safely.
