I would never say that all (insert your favorite cigar manufacturer's name here) cigars suck or are horrible or anything else to that effect just because it wasn't what I liked or was used to, or because I had smoked 1 cigar from 1 of their many lines and didn't care for it... Just venting. Now I'm gonna go smoke an infused stick. :-) . Safe smokin and long ashes to all!
I believe you are misinterpreting the advertising usage of the term "Best Seller" to mean that the highlighted product is also the best selling. Although the wording is similar the distinction is dramatic. The term Best Seller is often used by advertisers to emphasize a slow selling prodct and make it seem more desirable to the buyer. I am not saying that is the case here but the two terms are not interchangeable.

Hopefully, there are many more "Smoke what you like, like what you smoke" guys here who like to have some fun, than peoople who will seriously criticize another for their choice of cigar. I know that happens on some of the boards, I certainly hope
less of it happens here.

I used to love the natural dirt and javas. Juicy lucy was the one that made me swear off infused sticks.
I don't personally care for them, but I won't bag on anyone that does. They're good smokes.
As the Admiral says: smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

Nothing wrong with smoking an Acid. Especially if you wanna smell like patchouli.

I know for a fact that the Copper Label is the best selling cigar in the series. Not just saying it or trying to be a d!**

Thank you! I hope so too, but as a creature of habit I tend to have my guard up on this subject. It's funny because I could care less about most debates on religion, polotics, or sports. I have my views and am comfortable in my beliefs, but Drew Estate and the 2nd ammendment debates tend to ruffle my feathers

The Naturals line isn't infused

We don't allow discussion on politics or religion in the Asylum, 'cause those things tend to ruffle most people's feathers ultimately.
I sought a ban on discussion of Drew Estates products early on, but I was outvoted.

So I found out when I stopped by the 8 to 8 shop recommended in another thread. I guess I'll have to order some online and see what I think. I did however pick up a Java and Kristoff that was recommended to me by the pretty (But too skinny lady) that helped me out. She suggested a Blondie and some others from ACID, but it was stuff I already had in my sampler kit.

As I mentioned in my introduction thread, I peeked into several other cigar forums, and most were filled with little clicks that were chasing away the newbs with their elitist browbeating. I didn't see that here that's why I started posting here. I'm part of many forums across the internet (due to many hobbies), and I really feel CA has something good going on.

It occurred to me that this thread was started by someone looking to broaden their horizons by asking about different ACID cigars. I was simply trying to let people who ARE interested in infused cigars know not to be discouraged by the "ribbing" of those who do not care for or have any problem voicing their dislike for infused cigars.
Again, if it came off as a sales pitch I am sorry but I've dealt with criticism not ribbing from traditional cigar smokers for 5+ years.
Since you joined the board it seems like you've been selling Acids here. Look, nobody really cares what you smoke around here, Acids, Ghurkas, Lars Tetens, whatever floats your boat. But if you enjoy a product that the vast majority of cigar smokers on the interwebs think is bad, you've got to expect some ribbing. I've smoked Acids in the past, I think they suck, so I said as much. It's the kind of thing we all tried when we are new, liked/disliked, but moved on from. Just tone your posts down a little, when your up on your acid pedestal, you open yourself up for some good natured ribbing

I started with ACIDs and the DE Tabak Especial line. I have moved away from those into traditional cigars. Every now and then I smoke an infused stick. But I tend to follow the "smoke what you like, like what you smoke mentality."

I went on an infused buying spree for about a month. I like the Tabak's, Java's. But have went back to non infused. Now I may get rid of these to free up my extra humidor. Glad to see there is some interest in them.
