I have the Acid Sampler and am loving it.  But I see the bottom of my humidor so... time to order more. Lol

And thanks for helpin out a local business, even tho I'm technically not local anymore.

Damn Ike win a few auctions? Huh lol. Good purchases

Keep the Acid's away from your other cigars.  If possible, keep them out of your humidor and put them in a sealed tupperware container with a boveda pack.  They will flavor your other cigars and affect your humidor.

Tim, at jungle Jim's, I'm gonna pick up like 3-5 acid cigars for Lori for the week. They won't affect the tupperdor or the other cigars for those few days will they?

Damn I didn't even think of that.  Good idea

Yes, they will flavor the other cigars.  I would never keep any flavored cigars anywhere near regular cigars.  You're probably better off just getting a Boveda pack and a ziplock bag for the Acid's.  If they're for the week, that should be fine.

I've got a small Tupperware that seals well ill bring for her

I tried out an Acid Blondie last night.  I was expecting a lot as they seem to be pretty popular but it was just okay.  Not bad, just not that great.  I'd give it a 6.5/10 tokes.

My girlfriend has been smoking them. She enjoys them. I'm not a huge fan of them anymore.  I had to light hers and it was terrible since I had already lit my padron.

Last night I had a padron 1964 (I think a principe Maduro). It had everything I was looking for last night. It was rich, but still somewhat mellow. It was consistent up until it got pretty much to my fingers then it was really spicy but that could be attributed to the heat.
9/10 tokes

[accordguy04]

Yeah the Blondies are okay.  I like em for if I wanna sneak in a quickie.

I like the AF short story or work of art as a quick smoke. I had the work of art while I was at work yesterday

Another thing to remember is that your palate will develop and change over time.  It's been a while since I've been able to enjoy a cigar.  Allergies, work, and finishing my car have been killing me lately.  I need to make time to enjoy a good smoke tonight.  Not sure what I want to have though.  I've been eyeing an Oliva Connecticut for a while now.

I eyeball the AF between the lines every time I walk in the humidor. Hopefully jungle Jim's has them at a better price than they do here

I have yet to smoke the ones I have in my humidor.
