What's up with the increase in the price of ACID Cigars?? Is this an increase of all Cigars or just Drew Estate looking to decrease demand. I have spent a lot!! of $$ on ACID cigars in recent years and I will have to seriously curb my appetite for these cigars. Seeing as how these are my favorite cigars, it looks as though I may be selling humidors and cutting way back.[ram27bat]

Price inceases should have nothing to do with what you pay for these at auction. Auction prices are set by demand. If folks want them more then you do, they will pay more then you are willing to pay. Retail, or even CI's RSP has nothing to do with it, as I've paid as little as a buck a stick here for cigars that sell for $8 - $12 at CI.

If you do sell off your humidors, please make sure you tell the buyers that they where used to store ACIDs. You don't want to go and scr*w up someone's non ACID cigar collection, now do you?

LOL, I was waiting^, but seriously I have been watching prices and looking to be frugal, (glad surgery stopped me from smoking during the winter while trapped inside, otherwise I would have gone overboard). You will have to be savvy as I have noticed that many of the Acid cigars have been steadily higher after the holidays.

I have to keep some on hand for my son, future son-in-law and their friends. They prefer the "candy" box (25 ct. humi for flavored sticks) to my "decoy box" (50 ct. humi for regular smokes) that I put out when they want to herf. Acids and other Drew Estates flavored sticks, which I liked when I started this madness, have become very big sellers so prices have gone up in the past year and half.

Recently found 10 Kuba Kubas for $35, but that's a rare find. Javas and Tabak Especial (Cafe con Leche...ymmm), which I still torch occasionally, prices keep going and getting bid up. They are approaching price points of some of the "elitist" premium smokes.

Roger the the "approaching prices of elitist smokes". I get the supply & demand thing. With any auction I have ever followed the Quickbuy price has always been cheaper than the final auction price but ACIDs have just taken a leap. And yes, for dpnewll, I do mix some of my cigars in the humidors but have never noticed that my ACIDs taint the flavor of anything as I have heard others claim as well. Actually, I was hoping it help some of the cheaper smokes.

I conditionally agree with the pricing set by demand. CBID controls the supply and can influence pricing. When demand is high they can throttle supply to incrementally increase pricing. They must have some sort of policy otherwise they would hurt themselves as well.

I hate to break it to ya buddy, but, your palate cannot taste the subtleties of cigars because the Acid cigars have eaten away at your taste buds.[sarcasm]

I can pretty well promise you that most non flavored cigar smokers would detect some cross contamination of a flavor infusion of your non flavored cigars stored in the same humidor, especially if it is small.
