I used to smoke them more regularly, now just a rarity. But there are some decent ones ... CI Legends Copper, Java, and Tabak Especial (all Drew Estates) are ones I've liked.
I do keep some on hand, because I've found that non-regular cigar smokers often really like them because they're so flavorful.

I also keep some on hand.
Some people are totally against them, but not me. As a noob cigar smoker, and I like them now and again because its easier for me to taste flavors rather than just smoke.

I have a buddy that really likes ACIDS... if he picks the cigar for us, it is always an ACID. I generally supply the cigars we smoke, but I think he doesn't always want to be on the receiving end.
They're not so bad as to decline his offer and make an issue out of it... I just don't want them in my humi. So if he brings one to smoke, I oblige. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

As your palate evolves you will be able to taste PLENTY when smoking non-infused premium cigars. For now if you enjoy the infused sticks, go ahead and smoke them. The best cigar in the world is... the one you like best.

I smoke Opus like candy!
Smoked one Acid (Kuba I believe) and it tasted like ass, and I put it out within minutes. I know women like them.......and I think potheads use the wrappers for blunts, which is exactly who they're targeted for!
When Black&Milds are sold at a gas station for 50 cents each, why would potheads spend $4 - $13 for an Acid?
Seriously, if you think thats the "target audience" for Acid Cigars....:headroll:
Simple rule - Like what you smoke; Smoke what you like.
.....and try not to pass judgment on other peoples cigar choices based on a ridiculous assumption! :hammersma
There's a Master Chief at our firepit who LOVES his Acids. I can guarantee he ain't the "target audience" for blunts... :rofl:
Never had one. I've always gotten enough flavor (that I enjoyed) from standard smokes that I've never had an interest in one that's flavored. Kind of how my wife feels about flavored teas I guess.
I got started on infused cigars (acid cold tea infusion). After about 3-4 months of smoking 'real' cigars, I tried another one and almost puked after 2 puffs. That was over 2 years ago.... Haven't looked back

At our shop we sell a ton of Acids. The people who get them mostly are newer cigar smokers and I see a lot of military guys buying them too, females usually go for the CAO Flavors. As keinreis said in chat one time they are a "gateway" cigar for a lot of newer smokers. People like the fact that they have a "flavored" type of thing going on and I see many of the same guys who bought them moving on to non-infused stuff.

Had one of the Acid cigars and wanted to throw up. Only cigar to date I've legitimately hated. :barf::barf::barf:
Wasn't sure what to answer on this one. I've had some... Not a big fan of them, anymore, but I'm not vehemently opposed to ever trying one, again. I mean, I don't like really fruity flavors, or anything, but some of the coffee-infused ones sound interesting.
Really? :scratchhe I'm not so sure Jonathan Drew set up his market plan to include potheads, but I could be wrong. And this kind of feeds into the idea that some of the FDA bans are all about. They say that any flavored cigars should be banned, because they can lead to "kids" rolling blunts. And I'm not pointing this comment out to start anything, I just think it's a good discussion point that was just slipping by.
