I got an ACID sampler, and after 3, I wanted my money back. They were uniformly awful.

LVH Silencios and the Cameroons Belis are nice.

Tazziedevil · 11-05-2008, 11:05 PM

I like drew estate. I can't smoke the acids every day(well,I wouldn't want to anyway) but as a change of pace they are good.
My only gripe is the quality control. Too many are plugged, draw tight or unravel.

I can't stand any Acid cigar. I wasn't impressed at all by the LVH series. The Liga Privada is good, but pricey. I occasionally smoke a cigar from the Natural line for a change of pace.

jitzy · 11-06-2008, 07:43 AM

I was not much a lover of them till I smoked the Liga Privada, that was a really nice cigar

kaisersozei · 11-06-2008, 09:21 AM

I've smoked a few Acids, Naturals & LVH. I accept them for what they are. Don't actively seek them out, but I'll smoke one from time to time.

11-06-2008, 09:43 AM

so far there were none I liked but I have heard good things about Liga Privada, will give those a try when I can and report back on ca about them

TOB9595 · 11-06-2008, 10:14 AM

I do enjoy the CI Legends by Drew Estates.
It's a wonderful hazelnut flavored stck.
Not had any other Drew product
Tom

EDIT: Is Tabak Especial a Drew or AB????
I do like these also for a flavorful smoke. Cleans the palate during many smokes.

LVH-EY Silencios rock, still if you ask me. I was graciously gifted 2 of the old blend from txmatt that I believe had some age on them, and they were spectacular. I picked up a box of the new blend, and they are smoking quite well, I expect the same performance as the old when these become old. The liga privada sounds nice also, but damn its pricey.

I smoked a Kuba Kuba last July 4th and have been getting into cigars ever since.

After sampling a bunch of others (CX2, Cohiba, RP's, RYJ, etc.), I still love the Kuba Kuba, but more as a change of pace than my regular cigar. Somebody mentioned they're better in the summer with a beer and I totally agree.

I've had several friends try the Kuba Kuba. Those who aren't regular cigar smokers say they're great while the others say the opposite. I guess you either love 'em or hate e'm.

Pat1075 · 11-06-2008, 01:04 PM

I enjoyed the chateau real and the liga privada. I tried an acid wafe once and I got a head ache.

No offence Sancho - But for some reason the title of this thread just creeps me out!!!

I am picturing some perv hidding in an alley trying to entice a child with a candy cigar! "Pssst... Do you like Drew Estate?"

deschete · 11-06-2008, 06:36 PM

I like the Tabak Especial line and the Liga Privadas.

what alley are you in?

ucla695 · 11-06-2008, 06:39 PM

I've never tried one and I don't really plan to. There are just so many other cigars that I'd prefer to taste before I have a Drew Estate.

I'm not sure, I've never smoked one. Too many cigars I like and would rather spend my money on and enjoy like the all natural tobacco cigars without all the other stuff.

try the liga privada #9

SmokinApe · 11-06-2008, 08:34 PM

I answered "no" but forgot I did have a LVH... I did like it at the time but can't remember much other then it was strong...

Smoking a cigar called "pimp stick" seems a little ghey to me...

"Hey Earl, reach into your box over there and hit me with a PIMP STICK!" It doesn't sound right to me...

11-08-2008, 07:52 PM

I have smoked the Kahlua, Java Maduro, Isla del Sol, Acid Kuba Kuba, Acid Blondie, Acid Extra Ordinary Larry, and Chateau Real Natural cigars.
I did not like any of the Acid cigars.
The Chateau Real was an OK smoke.
The Isla del Sol is a good smoke for the money and is a cheaper alternative to the Java, but the tip is really sweet. Too sweet for me.
I liked the Kahlua and Java the best of the bunch, but I don't care for flavored cigars much anymore.

Starscream · 11-08-2008, 07:58 PM

I like the Java Latte.
