Someone gave me an Acid Kuba Maduro yesterday. So I tried it this afternoon. I almost never put out cigars, but I put this one out within five minutes. That was nearly an hour ago and I still have a terrible taste in my mouth which has survived a few potato chips and some Bourbon.

Agreed
Not an Acid cigar fan here. They smell and taste like some chick poured cologne all over them.
Try a nice Cain F 660 ligero.
That should get the taste out of your mouth.
Try a Benchmade..very good and inexpensive.
I've always had success with the Cuesta-Rey 1884. Not expensive, but not cheap, just a good, mellow smoke. I've never put one out!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
That is a perfect analysis of Acid cigars.
The only guys I know who like Acid cigars are also serious pot smokers.
I’m just say’n..........
You are so right! I was given a box of Acid cigars once. They were so godawful bad I couldn’t finish them. They smelled like something you’d find in a cedar chest. For some reason (dumb luck) I didn’t put them in my humidor. Would have ruined a cargo of Padron Aniversarios.
I detest flavored cigars. Acid is the worst. If you truly love cigars, then choose one that features natural tobacco, properly fermented and constructed with long-leaf filler and a Maduro or a well-aged Connecticut shade wrapper. Try a Padron 5000, Oliva V, Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve, Arturo Fuente Hemingway, or a Padilla Signature 1932.
I once was looking for revenge on a cigar smoker, so asked a store owner for his advice on the most “full bodied” cigar he had, after explaining why. He pulled out a box of Honduran Carl Upmann, or really *counterfeit* Carl Upmann.
He said a few puffs of one of these was like sucking on a hole in a burning car tire.
I feel your pain...I have a bottle of gin waiting for me in the freezer, but I’m stuck here till soccer practice ends. :(
Gonna light up a Gurka tonight....
Sorry to hear of your bad smoke.
Punch Punch Corona
Bolivar Belicosos Selection Gerard
Partagas Super Partagas Corona
I gave up smoking for about 6 months.
Today I went to my humidor pulled out a Partagas Super Partagas, which was my regular smoke.
I started to sweat and had to sit down. The nicotine rush was just a little too much.
Bloody Mary here. Quit smoking 10 years ago. Another 20 to go before I take it back up again.
NEVER ACCEPT ACID CIGARS EVEN ON A DARE.
Repeat part 1 until taste or mind is gone.
As for this Acid thing, I belong to a club and we have a dinner once a month. The club gives out a cigar as you enter the dining room. Last night it was a choice of this Acid thing and a Fonseca, which I knew I had had and it wasn't memorable. It had nothing to do with price. I don't know what these cost. (BTW, at the dinner there is always a cigar presenter who gives out samples. Last night it was a Rocky Patel rep. Cute, but not Rocky. The last time they were the presenter, Rocky was there himself and stayed 'til four in the morning.)
As for price, I find plenty of good stuff for two dollars a stick or so. Try a box of the JR GENUINE PRE-EMBARGO C. C. EDICION LIMITADA CIGARS Gorditos. (Has to be the Gorditos!) Well made, good taste. (In fact a friend who I introduced to these saw my initial post here and called to suggest that I pitch the Bourbon and smoke one of these instead to get rid of the Acid taste.)

Try a Macanudo Portofina
Smooth, Mellow, slight Woody Vanilla
Did you really try a second one from the box?!

What’s interesting is that high end Dominican and Hondoran cigars are now getting as expensive as Habanos S.A. prices.
A box of Opus X or Ashton VSG are about as expensive as a box of Cohibas or Bolivars from Gerard Pere et Fils in Geneva.
