From Joey_caster:"For some reason, even though all of you seem to be totally adamant(sp?) against the Acid line, they are still one of the best selling cigars in the country. Why is that? Just food for thought....." Joey C.--Jon Drew, the major domo of Drew Estates has busted his butt to market his products. He started off with conventional cigar lines, but didn't reach any level of real success. There's little doubt he saw how Lars Tetens appealed to a youth market and decided that this was an area he should explore with a similar line of cigars. Jon, himself, is a pretty young guy. There, I believe, the similarity ends. Even if you'd rather smoke an old sock than either, you'll find on dissection and examination of both brands that Acid, at half the retail price, is truly a better made cigar than Lars. I do understand that Jon Drew is making up a conventional line of cigars for a Brooklyn cigar store. I imagine it'll be marketed nationally soon. The people on any of the cigar forums and BBSs are not typical of most men who smoke cigars. To people on the boards this is science and art and a hobby, as well. Infusing the tobacco with other flavorings is dam near a sacrilege. Joey, if no one bids on Acid or Lars, you'll be the one to get them at the best price. Ultimately, you'll want to move beyond the aromatics. Steve*R
