Acid Purple

[Volt]

Ok, in an atempt at trying to murder me, Jason sent me a tin of Acid Purple cigarillos. I actually smoked one.....

Drew Estates Acid Purple:

Drew estates uses terms such as juggernaut, super rich infusion, complex hybrid oil and botanical infusion. It is all that and then some. So I decide this is to be my drive home smoke and get it out of the way.

The build:

Coloring was a medium brown with a black mottling of spots. Almost cheatah styled. Nice little cap to cut, surprising to me on this little a cigarillo. Size 5x20 and packed in a tin of 10 with a picture on the inside of the gayest looking person on a crotch rocket motorcycle wearing a camo floppy hat ????? A tad rough looking wrapper, but again not as bad as I expected.

Pre light roll found it to be a hard, tight pack. The Smell was vile, a super sweet cloying smell like walking into an old fashioned candy store. The approximate smell was grape, similiar to the grape Backwoods if you have ever smelled one of those. Pre-draw was very firm, not plugged, but one step below. I tried rolling it a bit to loosen it up.

The smoke:

Lit it with the ole zippo with Z-blaze insert (love them). Immediatly I was overwhelmed on the lips and tounge with this grape flavor, no sense or taste of tobacco. First few puffs, almost creamy???? After about 1/4" into it I can start to taste the tobacco on the back of the tounge and throat (I'm trying to keep the herbal oils from being swallowed). It's a very rough harsh tobacco. It also has a far amount of vitaman N. I know this as cigars heavy in the nic department cause my throat to tighten up and close a bit.

I smoked this cigar to the band, couldn't get it off as I was putting down the interstate (thank god). By the time it flew out the window the throat was rough, I could not get the taste off the lips and tounge. The car smelled of a 10 cent piece of cheap grape bubble gum. As I was headed to my bar for a bourbon to use as a disinfectant, I sped up. I tried 2 EW Sgl Brl on the rock and a twist of lime and an Olivia G...... I wasted good alcohol and a decent smoke trying to clear my taste buds. Sometimes evil wins the battle.

The sending of this tin of "smokes" would normally have me getting on my
motorcycle, riding 14 hours to Bama and cutting all Jason's cigars up with a very dull butter knife. He did save his cigars with one of the other sticks in the bomb he sent to me.

So to recap - a very evil and vile cigar. I have a friend who smokes Backwoods grape and the honey tobacco (I just can't call them a cigar). The other 9 will be enjoyed by him. But as always, YMMV, feel free to try one.

:pu Thanks for the review... :pu

[borndead1]

Believe it or not, from the cigarillos the purple ones are the best ones! :r:r

[Smoking Dragon]

Sounds like a christmas wish :dance:

[Emjaysmash]

[Volt]

Ok, Emjaysmash wants the rest of them.... I will mail the last 9 and 1 decent stick to him. PM MJ if you want it after him....... MJ, your gonna regret this. The Acid Purple pass is on :puWho else is tough to handle one?

[Dooge]

the thought of the pass scares me.

[Volt]

the thought of the pass scares me.

Cowboy up and sign onto the pass. To tough for a Brit to handle?

[Dooge]

ugh, okay. I guess it'll be a laugh.

[Don Fernando]

LOL sorry Mike I had to do something to you after you attacked a CAV Brother.

We live to experience and it was an experience. BTW, we decided your getting # 10 in the Acid pass. The RASS saved you - that is one fine smoking stick :dr It may die a very firey death soon.

I am sorry but by PASS rules in the stickies state one should not get into a pass if one thinks they may not be able to complete/or fulfill the pass requirements. So respectfully I decline the pass.

No problem. As your the end of the pass and it will not need to go any further, it's all good. It's like one of those boomerang things, you tossed it out there but it's on a long return path home. :ss

Entertaining review!! You're more daring than I.

[maddman]

[Volt]

wow hope you dont call jason a friend lol

Jason's ok, just has a problem understanding what constitutes a good cigar. Paybacks can be a real ***** though.

Hey now I did send some other goodies to ease the pain.

[Volt]

Hey now I did send some other goodies to ease the pain.

Very true - and greatly appreciated..... But you did attack with provication, I just can't ignore that.

[Emjaysmash]

Package recieved. Took one Acid purple and the "not-as-crappy-as-an-Acid" stick, which was a Gran Habano #5 Corojo. Smells Tasty! My stick to add was a Camacho SLR from 2005. Should be off to Andy as soon as i find some money for shipping. Where it goes afterwards, nobody knows!

[ahc4353]

No "floral"?


Darn.

MJ, go on the cheap... I paid like $1.80 first class mail. As it's 1 real cigar and a tin, no need for priority mail. Only took 2 days to get to you.

[Volt]

Well, Al you got the balls to get in on this taste and review pass? :ss

Hell, I don't even try to hide my address anymore. Between Al and Don, they pass it around like a bottle of Boone's Farm Apple. :al

*evil laugh*

Thanks for the offer but Jersey boys are weak sisters. Even a Brit has signed on to this pass along with Don.... And he just must be a glutton for punishment.

[av8tor152d]

I can not believe this is actually happening

[Don Fernando]

don't worry Jason, you will be punished for this.

[Volt]

I can not believe this is actually happening

Yessir - you started an evil pass. But it WILL end with you. We still need a few sturdy souls after it arrives at Dooges. Anyone, Bueller, Bueller?

[av8tor152d]

It's Christmas time, how could I not share my pain.... err joy and wealth at this time of year. I have seen the Christmas Carol and do not need the 3 Christmas Ghosts visiting me, so I share with my BOTLs.

[auburnfan1980]

*ahem* hate to jack the thread here, but I just wanted to clarify that this "Jason from Alabama who sends Acid cigars" is NOT the Jason from Alabama who refuses to smoke and/or send $*** like that to other fine BOTLs. That is all :r :r

THE Jason from Alabama ;)

I set myself up for that one.

[Volt]

Ya keep trying to tangle with the Navy......

[Don Fernando]

if Volt wouldn't have been so quick to reply, I would have Jason. Don't worry, you are screwed.

What have I ever done to you

nothing Jason, but somebody has to start the unfriendlies :r

[auburnfan1980]

i should have never jacked this thread....i'm so confused now.

[Don Fernando]

you're not confused yet Jason, just wait till the bags of acids start dropping in :)

[auburnfan1980]

don't even think about it, Don. :bx

Jason

[av8tor152d]

I think this thread needs closed way too much drama in it. And nasty nasty talk of ACIDS.

[Volt]

Oh no.... this thread has a long ways to go before it can be closed.... it may become an epic tale of nasty destruction.

[Don Fernando]

we know Florida as "the sunshine state", once we are done with Jason & Jason Alamaba will be referred to at "the acid state"

[auburnfan1980]

talk is cheap, boys...talk is cheap. don't make us break out a hard case of southern justice!! :bx

That anything like Southern Comfort? :D :al

[weak_link]

Ratters once gave me an Acid cigarillo and it was easily the worst bit of tobacco I've ever attempted to smoke. I think it was a 'kama-sutra' or something but it was as if someone rolled up some potpourri in a really bad tobacco leaf and called it a cigar. I did a review on cs and called it 'Ratters is trying to kill me.'

Jason was trying to kill me..... I sent the Dutch some Phillies and White Owls - yes that was bad, but the Acids are just down right wrong.

[Emjaysmash]

Acid Purple Pass was sent out yesterday to Dooge. GOOD LUCK! I'll post a review of the Acid when i get the balls to smoke it.

Cowboy up there MJ, you can do it.... BTW, do not smoke a good cigar afterwards thinking it will clear the taste. It's just a waste of the good cigar.

[av8tor152d]

I fear where this evil thing will end up..... CURSE YOU ALL

First off, the appearence of this bad boy was kinda shoddy. There were very large veins running from foot to cap.

The smell was, as Al loves to put it, "Floral", much like that of a bouquet of elderly women and a gallon of perfume.

Flavor Notes:

The Good:
-Earth
-Chocolate

The Bad:
- Very "HERBAL" (if you know what I mean)...reminded me of College... I honestly thought my parents were going to be suspicious...
-Elderly Women wearing gallons of perfume.
-Kerosene and ammonia! (Yum.)

Recommendation: If you like Elderly Women with gallons of perfume (Don't get too excited Al) Then this is your stick! IF wrinkles just don't do it for ya, then I would pass....puff, puff, pass....

[Volt]

I love it! That is a perfect description, well done and thanks for the pics. Andy is next :)

[av8tor152d]

If there was ever a pass that I would not be heart broken if it got lost in the mail its this one! And yes I know that is a run on sentence filled with poor grammar.

[Don Fernando]

if it gets lost in the mail, I volunteer to pay for a complete box for you Jason.

[Emjaysmash]

No really you would not have to do that I insist !

[Dooge]

[Emjaysmash]

if you sent it out like i did, little padding into a file envelope folded in half, its about $2.02 everytime... just dont put any fancy DC#s or insurance or BS on it.
:D

You know what "good smoke" you are sending?

[Dooge]

Yeah. Can't remember which one I put in there. Guess I could check:)

LoL... If anyone else wants to give away their Acid cigars, I would be more than happy to take em off your hand. I seem to be one of the only few to actually enjoy the Acid cigars. I mean... someone has to like the cigars if they produce them, right??? :ss :tu

Oh you mean that green stuff I grow in my closet...

Nah, Acids aren't even good to use as blunt wrappers...

[Volt]

I have yet to understand why people empty a cigar out and fill it with weed to smoke. Back in the day you just rolled one up or stuck it in a pipe????????

These days most people use homogenized tobacco rather than cigar wrappers. Apparently the homogenized tobacco is alot smoother than the natural tobacco.

[Emjaysmash]

So Bump? WTH is this pass?

[Don Fernando]

word is that you kept all the cigars for yourself MJ, so do us a favor and post some reviews :ss

[Hardcz]

So Bump? WTH is this pass?


Well I smoked one about half way through. The chemical taste was so over powering it was difficult not to vomit all over my truck. It took a week at the detailers to get the smell out. The taste and horror I experienced when smoking will be with me the rest of my life...haunting me.

I am waiting to see where this goes next... be it Jason or someone else who wishes death upon their taste buds.

[TanithT]

For the sake of being able to write a truly hilarious review, I'm in.

But if some kind local herfer has a dog, I may need to borrow the creature for awhile. I'll need something to get the taste of this thing out of my mouth.
