ACID Cigars By Drew Estates...Opinions?

**Smoking Sumo** · 05-05-2005, 10:59 PM

I keep running across advertisments and reviews for ACID cigars by Drew Estates...I have read reviews that both praise and condemn this line of cigars. I happened to run across a box resting on the bottom shelf of the walk in humidor at my local tobacconist shop the other day and was intrigued by both the box design and the fact that it was the only open box of cigars with the lid closed. Curious I opened the box and was overwhelmed by a strange menthol like aroma that erupted from from it. I dropped the lid out of shock, thinking that somehow I had done something wrong. I didn't buy any and have yet to try one but am still curious about them. Has anyone had the opportunity to try this brand?

I liked the Kuba Kuba, but I found that they have a draw problem. Some of them can be very hard to pull on. I have a box of Acid 1's that and I think that is their finest cigar. If I'm in the mood for a light flavored cigar I go with the Natural line by Drew Estates. Spice, Nectar, Juicy Lucy and Dirt are all quite good as long as you keep in mind that they are flavored. I don't put any of the Acids in my humidor with my other Cigars since the flavoring tends to overwhelm everything else.

Where's Scotty? How the hell did this get by without his expert opinion....

Personally, I smoke cigars for the flavor of quality tobacco - nothing else. Flavored cigars seem anti-cigar. Feel the same about coffee - no cinnamon, hazelnut, etc. Just hot and black.

Its funny we all look for hints of these things, yet dismiss the favored cigars. Personally, I dont smoke flavored cigars but I wonder if its more of a machismo thing than a cigar thing.

I don't think we look for hints of flavors so much as we use known flavors to describe the flavor of a cigar.

I don't think its a machismo thing but rather a taste issue. I enjoy smoking a pipe in the winter and sometimes smoke aeromatics. To me the acids just taste bad. I find it a lot easier to enjoy a perdomo esv, Padron 64/26, sancho Dbl Mad, etc. than to struggle through an acid. I have tried other non-acid flavored cigars but I find that after the first 1/4 and flavor dies and I am left with just a cigar made from crappy tobacco.
