What's your take? I love them but I am new to Cigars. Where do they rate in quality? Are they a real Cigar smokers choice or are these something I will likely grow out of?
So many options out there now but mostly I have not liked the stronger Cigars like Macanudo and Chohiba. I have enjoyed a few Rocky Petels and all the ACIDs I have tried. |

You will find that most everyone here does not care for them. Bottom line is "smoke what you like, like what you smoke".

The quality of DE cigars is escellent, but I am not a fan of the infused cigars. As Mac, said, our motto is "smoke what you like, like what you smoke", so if you like 'em, that's all that matters.
I find Macanudos to be one of the mildest smokes around, so I'm suprised to hear you find them strong. If you use the search function here, I am sure you can find lots of recommendations for milder cigars.

If you do decide to start keeping both infused and non-infused cigars, get a second humidor/tupperware/cooler/whatever for the non-infused cigars. If you store them with the ACIDs for any length of time, you will infuse them. |

Not in my wheelhouse, but then I know one of the toughest S.O.B. Federal Marshal / Ex Marine Drill Sergeant that swears by them, it's all about personal preference, as you try more things you tastes will change as well, there's always something different right around the corner just waiting for you to try.

Thanks for the info. I will be getting a different humidor for my Petels. As I wouldn't want the tastes to mix.
Another quick question has anyone smoked VegaFina I got one on my cruise and I haven't found them since. I believe it was a corona but unsure now! |

Do you have a B&M close to you? When I first started I went to a local shop, told them what I liked then they recommended some other cigars that they thought I would enjoy based on what I had already tried, it's a great way to branch out and you help support your local businesses.

You might have better luck on suggestions by naming the specific Rocky Patel cigars that you like and asking for cigars similar to those. |

The best advice you can be given already has, don't worry about what others like- they make 'em in different flavors for different tastes. If you like them there is nothing wrong with that. I went a against the grain a little myself by starting at the strong end of the spectrum and working toward the lighter smokes somewhat, and there is nothing wrong with that. Glad to see you do plan to get separate storage for your infused and non infused cigars, I feel like that would be kind of like throwing ice cream on my steak, both things I like but not a combination I would ever want to try.

Great advice given. The infused cigar is definitely a change of pace. I really enjoy them and keep them in the mix. There are a few infused samplers for a reasonable price that may help you identify what works for you.

"smoke what you like, like what you smoke"
Other communities and people will on occasion give you jazz about them..."chick cigar" unless you're a chick.

If you like the taste then enjoy the smoke, but don't miss the point of "I am not a fan of the infused cigars," as to each his own personal preference.
I prefer a stronger smoke, more to the medium to full bodied strength, but I've also been smoking for a while now and I would say that some of my old favorites are mild smokes and some times you just want the taste of something old and familiar. Now to answer your question, ACID cigars are legitimate cigars and are well made but the flavor is an acquired taste. You may outgrow the flavor of the infused cigars or maybe not, but as you smoke for awhile you'll develop your favorite sticks and you too will gather your own "old favorites." Plus, the longer the cigars sit and mature in your humidor, they too will pick up a different sometimes better or preferred taste. Quote:

I have tried a few Petels but my favorite so far has been the 1990 vintage. I find that to be the smoothest of the ones I have tried.
I will have to try more infused Cigars I didn't even know that was a thing but I was in a B&M and the guy in front of me picked up 2 boxes of them so I figured why not and enjoyed it. I liken it to a clove cigarettes only a high end version and I smoked those for years. I am not a chick. And I'm not to concerned with smoke "chick" cigars more concerned with quality because if it's a crap cigar I would rather find a better quality version and hopefully enjoy that more. |
