Well if you've never tried one how can you judge?Even though i thought they sucked too

I've smelled one, and trust me... that was quite enough. They stink like the art students that live all around me.

"In matters of taste, there is no dispute"

That said, I never bought a Britney Spears CD, but I know they s*ck.

well, I've been buying based on what the cigar shop owner has recommended, and so far he has my tastes in order. Anything you guys can suggest would be helpful, something relatively mild, I'm working up to the bolder tastes...

edit: also just checked and what I got were Zino Classic Sumatras(the Z on the wrapper looks like an L to me) I found this cigar to be quite nice....

i'd suggest starting with baccarat,alec bradley,special blends,occidental,helix.....
.....forget macanudo...they're overpriced and you can get the same flavor by smoking an envelope....


then later,i'll suggest some others....

Nothing wrong with that, as I think Acid's and other flavored cigars are designed to catch the interest of the non-smoker, and turn them onto cigars. That being said, there are much better choices in the price range, and the flavor of a nicely blended and aged cigar wins out over a flavored stick any day.

And please don't put these into your humi, as they will taint any other smokes you put in there with their flavor. When the day comes and you see the light, you'll be kicking yourself in the ass because your good cigars will always have that aroma about them.

try an arturo fuente 8-5-8. i enjoy those alot.

as for the drew estate cigars, i haven't tried an acid but i have tried their Kahlua cigar and it wasn't good at all. nothing nasty about it, but it didn't have any flavor (kahlua or tabacco) and it had a sugar tip to it which distracted from the taste.

Doh! Forgot to mention the one that got me started...

Smoke what you like ... like what you smoke. Your taste is your taste.

That said ... you might wanna branch out a bit

And it's XiKAR not XiCar.

The flavored smokes aren't my thing, but whatever floats your boat. Enjoy!
