My brother-in-law is not the biggest cigar smoker. When he is with my dad and I he would have a mild cigar here and there. He started to buy a few at a time and keep them in his small humi. A few months ago I was over his house and he ordered an Acid sampler and he kept saying how much he liked them and was amazed that anyone would smoke anything else. As much as I tried to tell him that they are not "true" cigars, I came to the conclusion that I would rather have somebody to enjoy a cigar with than not at all, Acid or not. I did try one that he gave me and that will be the last one I have.

same here...I have the Acid Sampler tin and have never gotten beyond storing the stiks in a separate container. I will trade or give it away to anyone that is into these stiks. Just PM me with your address.

I actually enjoy most Drew Estate sticks (that I've tried). They're certainly not enjoyable everyday, but I usually have a few on hand for when I'm in the mood. I picked up a kuba kuba 5 pack a while and I've only smoked one. I recently smoked a Def Sea that was gifted to me, and I thought it was a little bland compared to most Acids. Blondies are probably my favorite since they are only 4 x 38, so I can get in and get out before I get tired of the botanicals. Java's and Tabak Especials are pretty tasty on occasion as well. My wife likes to hang around when I'm smoking them.

About once a year I try out an infused cigar. I always regret it.

I tried an Acid Liquid one day, at the 5 minute mark the only liquid I could taste was the vomit it was causing and ditched it.

Liga Privada No.9 and T52 are fantastic smokes. Awesome enough to justify all the chemical fires DE has ever caused.

YES! Don't get me wrong, I knock the Acid line as well, but wow is the Liga Privada line fantastic. Gotta grab up a few more of the T52s - I liked them better than the No 9s I've tried.

I had my first Acid on Friday and it was different. Not sure what I think.

The Liga Privada line is pretty pricey (as with most Drew Estate lines). I liked them both, but for the price I could think of a lot of other sticks I'd prefer. I notice that certain Acid sticks have left a stink on me for a couple days, so either I need to work on my hygiene or those botanicals really absorb into my skin and beard. I've still got a couple more Acid sticks left over from the sampler that I haven't tried yet. All of the negative comments above are kind of making me think I'll continue to sit on them.

The thing is, they ARE true cigars. I, for one, cannot stand Acids at all and have no desire whatsoever to try any more infused cigars... To be honest about it though, they are still perfectly legitimate, handmade cigars, that just so happen to have a chemical flavoring infusion. Is this everybody's cup of tea? No. But is it bringing more people to cigars than we'd have otherwise? Yes. And are they still handrolled, long leaf cigars? Yes. I think the key identifier should be that they are not traditional cigars, versus real cigars.

I think everyone should burn one every now and then whether you like them or not. It'll make you appreciative of non-infused cigars, and will clear your house of mice, rats, roaches, fleas, ticks, skunks, snakes, pretty much anything with a sense of smell. Might even kill mold, but not sure about that one.
