Quoted:
I'm beginning to get into cigars and purchased a few at Bevmo, I know, tonight while I was there. I have some others on order via the interweb. I bought an Acid just out of curiosity. A Kuba Kuba to be exact.
I didn't like it, at all. I don't know the proper term, but it was very 'hot'. Not necessarily smooth, but rather not enjoyable to smoke. Is this commonplace with said cigar, or was I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks
Josh
Bevmo is not a good place to purchase cigar, their "humidor" are not very well kept, especially for drier climates like AZ, NV, and CA.
Go to a good cigar store, I think there is a Fairoaks Cigar near Phoenix, if you live nearby.
As far as Acid concerns, yes, I have tasted one (free from my borther), and it wind up tossing it into the ashtray after 2 or 3 puffs.
I also went dwn the path of Drew Estate Kahula, which is one of the first box of cigar I bought, something I won't do again.
Start with mild body cigars like Ashton, Oliva G, or Davidoff, and work your way up the chain.
There are many good hand made cigars out there to waste your time with infused flavor cigars, although both Acid and CAO have good looking chicks in their ad for flavored cigars.
