I think based on the responses shown here, it goes to show that you like what you like and you are not going to have a hugh fan base. With that being said, you don't have to win a popularity contest with them. If you enjoy them, light up one for the gang and smile.:D
 
I've just taken delivery of a few boxes of a new smoke that Drew is set to release in Vegas. It's called the Tabac Especial and is coffee infused. I never liked flavored or infused cigars, but this is one hell of a smoke. it's medium-bodied and has a consistent flavor of coffee throughout. It's a perfect morning cigar with your coffee. Again, I never liked the flavored smokes, but they did a GREAT job with this one.
 
The only thing I've tried of Drew Estates' is Acid. My friend loves 'em, but they are truly disgusting to me. There are smokes I don't like, yeah, but only Acid has made me seriously want to yak from the taste. I gave it back to him and lit up a Nub Connecticut. On our road trip, I'm segregating his Acids from my smokes to avoid contamination. Blech.

But I'd be willing to try something else by Drew Estates - some of them sound good.
 
Started off with the Acid line as my first smoke. I don't smoke them anymore because thats not really what I'm looking for in a smoke now. Not bad smokes imo just not what I want. I still like an occasional Java as a change of pace and the natural line and liga privada are good a smokes also. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though.

Interesting you say that. My friend gave me an acid nasty and the first pull on it smelled and tasted like I was smoking a joint. I was excited but the rest was only so-so

Some of the descriptions in CI make we want to try some of the naturals and Acids but as others have pointed out, I can't pay some of those prices.

LVH Early years is a good smoke for the money. I got them BOGO at a shop
a while back. Great deal!
 
Liga Privada.... mmmmmmmmmmm... and I think the Root Deluxe (Natural line) is very good. Java, I like once in a while with coffee - it's kind of like a dessert smoke.
 
Just recently had my first one - a Java. Not sure what I think. I might give it another try, but there are so many ohter cigars I truly like that it will be difficult for me to part with the $$ on something that (based on my first experience) isn't that good.
 
Now Let me first say I am not into "flavored" cigars. I have had a java--not to bad. Kuba Kuba was way to sweet. My pops loves the chateu reals. I have had a few and i will say preety good.

BUT you MUST try the Liga Privada. Limited Availbility. I got mine at the CI Superstore. I Dare say it does compare to an Opus X. Full Body and Flavorfull. Not overwhelming. It happens to be my Favorite stick that I have had at any point. MOST of all...No infussion. just pure tobacco flavor!
:ss
 
I started out on Acids since my friend Mike knew I was new and wanted to try out cigars. I got a couple Blondies and Atom Maduros and ended up getting hooked. Eventually I got away from Acids and onto other cigars (Padrons) but they were the ones that got me started. I can't smoke more than half now, but when I did smoke them I really enjoyed them. Now while I can't smoke Acids anymore, the LVH line is still pretty good for a low priced smoke and the Natural that I tried wasn't bad either. I think it comes down to smoke what you like while you like it, and pay no mind what others might say if they don't. The key thing is whether or not you enjoy it.
 
I don't care for the ACIDs but if offered one I wouldn't say no. I love the sizes and the shapes that are available though.
 
I actually like the Naturals every now and again. They aren't my goto smokes but I have smoked a few in my time and found them to be quite decent.

Cheers,
Rob
 
I'm not an ACID fan, but I do like the LVH line and the Chateau Real. But my tastes sit in the Mild - Medium range right now and these suit me just fine. YMMV...

My two sons (25 & 23) like the Blondies and a few of the others that were in a sampler pack I got during a Drew Estates promotion. Apparently these ACID cigars are very popular with the 18 - 25 crowd. Personally, I'd rather have my sons smoking cigars than inhaling a pack of cigarettes every day.
 
I had my first Acid last week. It was an Acid Kuba Kuba Tubo and I smoked it about an 1/8 of an inch and tossed it. Felt like I was smokin a pixy stick and the sweetened tip was disgusting. Was my first and last infused stick and last Acid.

Nice haul you've got there. I'm not a fan of flavored cigars per se but that is a nice collection you've got there.

Congrats and happy smoking.
Cheers,
Rob

It's amazing, the last few times I have visited this thread and viewed your collection of cigars my sense memory is so strong for these cigars I can almost smell them. That photo is like scratch-n-sniff without the scratch.:D
