Anyone else smoke Acids around here? If so what do you think of em?
I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take is slow but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste the day now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I learn is always wrong and things are true that I forget but no one taught that to me yet - Phish, Character Zero

I enjoy the Acid line. One of my first cigars was an Ambrosia....very mild and smooth. I have also had the Wafe, which is a quick and earthier smoke. Acid Kuba is another good one.
I've moved on from Acid, but I still enjoy the 1400cc's. My personal favorite now is probably the Hemminways by Fuente

Yeah people usually move on from the Acid cigars. But its good to try everything you can to be more astute in the future. I tend to want a cigar that stands on its own without the need for added flavors or marketing.

I like the Acid cigars. The sweet taste is a nice change from a heavier cigar. For me they are great cigars to smoke while reading and listening to some music.
If you want something that tastes like tea, why not just drink tea? If you want something that tastes like kahlua, have some kaluha. If you want to have the taste of chocolate, vanilla, mint, and so on... why not just have some of that?
I started myself on flavored cigars, but have moved on past them now. The main problems I have with them (beyond what I have already mentioned) is their construction is terrible and by the end of the cigar all of the flavoring has just about gone away and all you're left with i an extremely hot and bitter mess.
So, my suggestion: eat a nice meal, have yourself a desert (with the taste of whatever you would have gotten from the acid), and then smoke a real cigar.
ACIDs are not real cigars, plain and simple, I know Drew would dissagree with me but he's biased. I will admit that I smoked a few flavored cigars when I got started, but the sweetness from them is more than likely due to the sugar tips they have. All the flavored cigars I had were bitter and really tasteless once I realized what a cigar should taste like. I would never give someone an Acid as a starter cigar, ever! If a Padron is too strong for beginner then there's always AVO, RyJ Reserva Real, heck, even Macanudos would be a better option by a large stretch then flavored cigars

ACID? more like Rancid! I have started a couple of friends out on these cigars. Heck I got a buddy, who has been smoking for a couple of months and thats the only cigars he will smoke. I dont really mind them, as long as they are not in my humidor messing with my cigars.

oh wow, I appreciate his honesty, but I don't think that's going to help with the cigars. It's like a Ford dealer going "yea, you know, Ford's got good quality just like any other car, but personally I much rather drive a Toyota."
