I've been putting my loose cigars in a variety of wooden cigar boxes, from Cbid and elsewhere, figured it was better to keep them next to some spanish cedar rather than loose. One of the boxes I got was an ACID. As I was sorting cigars to box size (didn't "sniff" out hte box first) I placed some good premiums (non-aeromatic) in the Acid box, shut it up and kept the cigars in it over night before I realized I may have really messed up. After about 12-14 hours (overnight)in the Acid box I removed them, but they already stunk (I don't particularly enjoy aeromatics). I immediately removed them, let them set out for about a half a day before getting them into some natural spanish cedar. As of this afternoon they still had the Acid smell attached to them. Haven't smoked one yet. Anyone else pull a bonehead move like this? Or more to the point, any suggestions for getting them back to "natural"? (I hate the thought of possibly ruining my stash of La Perla Blacks Pearls.) I know, I know, what a bonehead move.

The cupboard under the sink still smells like Def Sea.

Smoke one.



MAYBE, most of the smell is on the wrapper and the fillers will add some balance.


Lots 'a luck!

Like sketcha said,I don't think to much of the perfume could of got in in 14 hours.Let them sleep for another day or two.You will probly still smell it a bit but you should not taste it.
Good Luck

I've done that. The cigars should taste fine. You may get a hint of Acid aroma, but not that much. Acid ages their tobacco in those special infusion rooms for a year. You can't get that kind of result overnight. Rick "Acidifies" some of his cheapies on purpose. He will tell you.

I'll try one this afternoon a our Labor Day BBQ. Outside the aroma shouldn't be too bad, and hopefully I haven't damaged the good flavor of the Black Pearls. Will let you know. Anyway, good lesson learned, and thanks for the input.

Just came in from trying one of my Black Pearls, and to my great relief, the flavor wasn't changed. Still had a perfumed aroma on the surface, but the rest of the tobacco didn't seem to take any of it. Thanks for the input guys, appreciate the help.

It'd been a shame to ruin those babies. Congrats.
