Acid? Whut?

Something I posted on another forum back in 2008:

When I first started smoking good cigars, like most guys, I did a noObIe sampler here with a great BOTL. One of cigars in there (and there were a ton of good ones) was one of the little Acid 'gars from the tins; it was a "Acid Krush Classic Morado Maduro". The thing came triple bagged and I didn't know why until I opened the bags.....holy crap, this thing had an "aroma" to it. Truth is, I kinda wanted to like it. Thought they might be an interesting diversion, an interesting change up in the smoking rotation. I was stupid enough to actually try to smoke the thing.

Pre-light, the overpowering "aroma" from this thing was strangely familiar. I couldn't figure it out. Then.....it hit me. Years ago, when I was a little kid, I had a really cool uncle that I used to pal around with a bit; Uncle Mel. Uncle Mel was a great guy but he used to wear a little too much "Old Spice" cologne. That was it...!! This stupid thing smelled exactly like it had been dipped in "Old Spice" cologne...!!

I put flame to this thing and the reek and overwhelming odors were in full effect. Like smoking a stick of cheap incense. Oh my god, this thing was awful. Took a second and a third puff to confirm my revulsion, and that was that. That wretched dog turd of a smoke hit the tray forever. I had to power hork two cheap ass bundle sticks to get the taste out of my mouth. I had to use brake cleaner on my stinky to get the reek off the stainless steel. I washed and washed my hands and they still smelled like they'd been shoved up the Avon lady's ass.

Now, here's the interesting part - every, and I do mean EVERY B&M I can recall visiting has these darn smokes in stock! I always ask; "....do you guys sell many of those..??..." and the answer is always the same; "...yep! We sell a bunch of them. Hard to believe it, isn't it..??...".

Well, brothers, I always say "smoke what you like, like what you smoke" so if these are up your alley, more power to you. I promise I'll keep away from them so there will be more for you other guys.....
