I'm a Drew Estate whore as well.

I've tried several non-infused varieties so far, some really good and some I did not care for at all. I had my first Oliva V today and really enjoyed it. I bought 2 sampler packs recently, an Ashton and an AVO. I was personally disappointed in the AVO's, they aren't bad, but for the price, they are overpriced IMO.

I thought since I liked the Acid line that I would only like milder sticks, but I've tried a few medium to full body sticks and I actually really liked them. So basically, just don't limit yourself.

I'm with ya on the Avos. The only one thats really done anything for me was the 2008 LE, but it was still a little over priced IMO.

So you guys think it's a big deal mixing infused with traditional even if they remain in the cellophane and separated by divider?

I really don't want to purchase another humidor right now, especially since I won't be able to fill my 50ct with either type of cigar right now.

I have had Acid Opulence 3's in my humi for some time now with my other smokes and have not noticed a thing. It really starts to matter if you have the smokes in your humi bareback. If they are wrapped then it is harder for the infusion to sneak up on your other smokes. Most peope just recommend you store them seperately JUST IN CASE....

The infused stuff will definitely influence the non-infused stuff. The cello will slow it down a little, but the divider won't make much difference at all. They are all sharing the same air in the humi and infused stuff tends to put out a lot of fragrance. My wife's tupperware she used to keep her infused stuff in would perfume the entire room when you took the lid off, it would definitely have an effect on other cigars. Tupperware is a cheap alternative to getting another humi, it's also much less maintenance.

Acids tend to be a little less aromatic than some other infused stuff, and I recall the Opulence being pretty mild even as those go. I would peg those Tatianas he has in there as being the most likely to be overpowering. The stuff by CAO also tends to be really fragrant.

Calling the Swishers infused is worse than calling Acids Flavored.

Default Re: Recommend some cigars to me

I decided to "build" a sampler and get some butane to fulfill my $40 voucher.

There were a few more Acids I wanted to try and if you buy 4 singles you get 1 free.

So far I have:

Acid Cold Infusion Tea
Acid Deep Dish
Natural Jucy Lucy (might remove this since it's half the price of the others and probably the one I'll get free)

What else can you guys recommend from this list?
http://www.stogieboys.com/single-cigars

If you have something specific in mind just search it and put single at the end of the search.

Thanks for all the assistance

Also, do you guys recommend Colibri or Xikar fuel?

Was gonne get 2 cans of this.
http://www.stogieboys.com/accessorie...utane-fuel-can

Or this.
http://www.stogieboys.com/accessorie...el-can-3-04-oz

Or I can drop like $20 for Vector on Amazon and use this voucher for more cigars or a small 20-30ct humidor.

I've always used Colibri fuel, never had problems. The problem with buying fuel on-line is that I think they have to ship separately, so you're probably better off finding some at a local B&M.

I wouldn't bother with another humidor just yet. You may soon find that a 20-30ct is waaaay too small. Tupperware is an adequate alternative.

The Stogieboys page is extremely slow loading, I'll comment on recommended sticks once it does.

Wow that was painfully slow navigation. Based on your smoking history, I would add the AF Hemingway Classic & Oliva Serie G (non-maduro) to your sampler list. Those are both good compliments to what you have already.

Yeah it's loading very slow for me. Looking for 2-4 more sticks to add to my order from that things list.

This sampler worth it?

It's a decent price for those sticks, but I wouldn't smoke any of them

I'd recommend building your sampler with your Drew Estates preferences, and adding the AF & Oliva.

I'd stick with just one can of butane for now. I'm still nursing the little tiny can of Colibri I got probably a year ago.

Cool thanks, I'll get one can of butane. I'm an occasional smoker.

I will check out those recommendations when I get home.

Feel free to name a couple specific Olivias. Or I can randomly choose from the Olivia sampler that was posted.

Damn the Olivia Serie V singles are on backorder except for Oliva Serie 'V' Lancero but 7" is too much cigar for me.

Could try the Serie G, or O. Maybe Man O' War?

I don't like not being able to go back and edit posts at a later time on here.

Many of the Olivia's are out of stock. Found the Serie G Double Robusto 5x54
