The cigars to stay away from

[Kenyth]

Stay away from any cigars I want in the Cigar Draft V.

And if I eyeball 'em, what're you gonna do about it?

Figured I would resurrect this thread...

Smoked a Kuba Deluxe from Acid today, against my better knowledge. Should say I smoked about a third of one, really... I was drinking really sweet tea with my dinner while I was at the B&M and had a bunch of tea left, so I wanted to get a cigar that would go along with it, and Kuba popped in my head... Bad idea. Really. Bad. Idea.

First off, the cigar was ~10$ at my B&M, not sure how that compares to other prices, but for 10$ I expected delicious, sweet tobacco. I got a sugar stick that lost all flavor after about twenty minutes. I couldn't even taste the sweetness, the tobacco, anything. It lighted well enough (after I had watched a pompous lawyer seemingly ruin a zino platinum... shoved the head right into a torch flavor and just puffed away until the whole head was glowing red hot. Wanted to hurt him ) although after the light there was very little smoke. Had an easy draw, but it just never produced a whole lot of smoke, and what it did produce wasn't worth smoking--much less 10$.

it was just... awful. I think this will be my one and only venture into the Acid line.

I've enjoyed a couple of the CAO flavours, though. Specifically, Eileen's Dream and Moontrance. I was a bit let down by the Bella Vanilla, although I smoked it rather quickly. It seemed as if most of the taste was on the wrapper and you would only really taste vanilla by licking your lips after they had been on the wrapper. Eileen's Dream and Moontrance have both been tasty on the lips and had plenty of tasty smoke, so I would go to those if I was to go back to flavored cigars.

Sorry I ever doubted the masters

Yep. The same with the Acid Blondie.

the latest non cuban bolivar comes to mind. I think the wrapper is make of some sort of imitation tobacco.

Also, and I've never tried one, but I know they are pretty bad.

Not very impressed with the Drew Estate line of flavored cigars. But I did receive a free sample from CI. A Natural Dirt, that I can actually say was OK.

I'll address the OP question of overpriced cigars - Cohiba Black and Diamond Crown Maximus. The new H. Uppman Reserve Maduro was a huge letdown as well...
