What exactly is an " ACID " cigar?

As much as everyone knocks ACID cigars they are the stepping stone for alot of new cigar smokers.

I'll be honest I really liked the first Kuba Kuba I smoked and it's what made me want to try more. If I had started out with habano type cigars I may not have stuck around to really start to enjoy the hobby.

So while ACID cigars aren't liked much and while a lot of experienced cigar smokers don't like them, give them some credit for what they do. They bring young and new people to the hobby.

You're absolutely right. Just last weekend I was smoking a '58 pre Embargo with a bunch of guys who used to smoke Phillie Blunts, White Owls and Black n Milds.

An Acid is just different. Some people like the change of pace... just like a pipe with a bowl of cherry or any of the different pipe tobaccos that are available.

Acids ARE a bit odd and can be strong, but they are good in mixed company.
