Acid C-Note

If you were wondering if I was going to rate every Acid cigar I smoked high, here's your answer. I've smoke quite a few tiny cigars and haven't found many that "float my boat", the Mayorgas, and Kahluas were much better than this stick. The C-Note still beat the majority of small cigars I've smoked recently with names like, Matadors, Babies, Demi Tasse, etc. The C-Note starts out really sweet, like its got a sugar tip, in that way it reminds me of a Cojimar. Like the Cojimar the sweetness doesn't last very long and what you're left with is very average. I did like the size and feel of this cigar, it's long, thin and dense.

This tasted like a mouthful of freshly cut grass. I ended up giving the rest away to friends, who also noted a fairly grassy flavor. Not worth your money, really.

Great 5-10 minute smoke. They look like a double bebee (sp?).

This was my first experience with this line/color of the Acids, the Purple line. They certainly don't have nearly as nice a flavor as the blues, especially the Blondies, but they're a pretty decent quick smoke to have when you join your cigarette smoking buddies. The spices are a bit clovey compared to the sharp, sweet, and aromatic blues. They're good, but not great.

Well, first ACID product I bought were the Blondies which I enjoyed immensely but thought they were pricy. Then I decided I needed something to smoke here and there when I'm bouncing at the club (have to smoke outside as the law states) and when I don't have a lot of time. The c-notes look gorgeous but sometimes fail in the flavor department. It's a 50/50 shot. Definitely have to stick them in the humidor for a while if you want a good smoke (they don't take a lot of time to mature in the humidor). The only problem I feel these have is that here and there you'll get one that tastes like a non-spicy stick and then you'll get one that puts you in total bliss with it's spicy flavor. That's the main problem with these...flavor consistency. But, if you just need a good cigarillo smoke, I would tell you to buy a BOX of these ONLY if you can find them at a good price! Some of the c-notes have EXCELLENT flavor while others totall lack the flavor.

The first pack I had of these was excellent, with a smooth toasty and slightly spicy flavor and rosy overtones. The second pack is hardly worth smoking, with a very "dirty" flavor and lacking too much in redeeming qualities. I'd rate the first pack about an 8.5, the second down in the 4s. Don't overpuff them, or as with any small cigar they will turn harsh and bite your head off.

Great "quick" smoke. Excellent flavor and the spices make a unique aroma. Not for the hardcore cigar smoker. Great for your buddies that aren't smokers.

Not bad if you want slight exposure to acids, but try another one of their cigars instead. Save these little guys for your non-smoker buddies who want to be cool and "smoke a cigar"

These little "C-Notes" are the first Acid cigars I have smoked. I had heard a lot of great things about Acid cigars and had high hopes. I was not let down. Despite a rough build, they held up beautifully and burned quite well. The draw was effortless and the taste was quite smooth. They kind of have an outdoorsy flavour with many spicy hints. These are great little cigars for about any occasion.
