Acid Nasty

The name fits

Smooth, man, smooth! Liquid velvet, rose petals, fur, chocolate pudding...

I bought the 14 cigar sampler from CI.The nasty was the best one of the bunch.The wrapper was not sweet but the filler was airomatic.I dont think they're worth 4 bucks apiece.

When you have the guts to name your cigar "Nasty", you just better be sure it doesn't taste even close to nasty. Unfortunately this one, while not "nasty" is not far enough away for me. I guess this is a "concept cigar" that is if it looks nasty and that's the name, it must be great cigar. Sort of like Smuckers Jelly. Well they need to make it taste better and this is coming from an Acid Fan! This may be my least favorite Acid cigar. I'll give this cigar good marks for appearance, because they were going for the "nasty" look.
The burn and draw were the best part of this cigar.

I routinely take a Nasty to bars that have outdoor patios. This is an interesting cigar that always has people coming up to me and asking about it. The flavor is fantastic, but a bit more natural in character than other Acid cigars. The big downside is that it's only good for about a 20 minute smoke, then it's gone. For $6 per cigar, that gets a bit hefty. To add to it, the pyramid shape make it heat up fast as you smoke it. This seems to be a pretty hearty cigar that can stand up to some punishment in temp and humidity while traveling.

This is a nice little smoke, though I wish it was a little cheaper. The pyramid shape (I dont know who labeled this belicoso) creates a tunneling effect for the smoke, and seems to condense it, giving a rich and spicy flavor. Very unique, and worth trying once if you enjoy a darker smoke, as opposed to a light bodied cigar.

Nice looking little oddity. Must confess I was pleasantly surprised by the very good draw and burn characteristics. Flowery with chocolate notes, it went well enough with a couple of hurried cups of coffee this morning. Worth a try just for the experience.

The Acid Nasty was my very first online cigar purchase way back in 2004. It's not the cheapest cigar, and I treat it to be more of a "whey ya want something different" cigar. You can't drink any alcoholic beverages with it, because the flavor from the cigar is very strong. In fact, the only thing that I recommend with it is a can of Coke. The maduro wrapper imparts a tobacco sweetness here, and I must gladly say that the tobacco taste is not totally obliterated by the otherwise strong flavors that are emitted by the Nasty. The herbs, oils, hallucinogens in Nasty make for a very pleasant and unique smoking experience.

I picked up this cigar because of the different shape and I like other ACIDs. Also, (this is a really dumb reason) I saw other reviews on this cigar and wondered if it was really that bad. It is. It is awkward to light and hold this cigar. Draw was ok, burn was a little uneven. Taste wasn't very good. Had the typical incense like taste of other ACIDs but without the sweetness. Flowery tastes and a little spicy at the end. Quick smoke and definitely not worth it. I prefer the One, Cold Tea, or the Krush cigarillos.

It tasted like a old shoe smells.
I did not like it to dark.

it is not bad at all

I love most of the Acid line-up but the Nasty was just too sweet for me. Perhaps it was just the one I smoked but damn, was this thing cloying and it just got worse as I went further. Just not my cuppa tea.

This was my 2nd ACID smoke, the first one was a cold infused tea, this little gem just looked nice, the construction was excellent. I bought it on a whim, hoping I didn't pick a 'smelly' one! I did not detect any huge amounts of added flavor, this was just a nice short smoke. The flavor did change about halfway through into a more spicy taste, but it was a surprisingly good little smoke.

I really don't know what to think of this smoke. Before smoking the cigar had strong flavors that once smoked did not come out. Was smooth and had scents of roses or rose perfume tried to decide if I liked it or not. Quick smoke.

I like the big cigars in the Acid line. These little fellas...well unless you want a quick 10 minute smoke or a finishing cigar after a "regular" I'm not sure what the point is. Just when you settle in the ride is over. Spicy-High heat burn

I can't even describe how disgusting this thing was. It was like somebody dried out a bag of lawn clippings and then rolled them into a wrapper.

Excellent burn and draw. Beautiful to look at. I loved the dark and spicy flavor and smoked it almost to the very end. Very peppery with hints of chocolate and flowers. Nice crisp bite. Great evening cigar.

like candy if you like that

pre light was good...kind of turned off by the lack of the trademark acid aroma and sweet taste. lit well and burned nice and straight, fixed itself when it went crooked. Draw on this one was pretty tight. first 1/3 of the stick was very smooth and had a taste of leather with little suprises of that acid sweetness i was talking about. the last 2/3 it got harsh and spicy, possibly because of the narrowing. with abount an inch and a quarter left i tossed it for a 3 point score into the trash can.

Nasty and bland.

Blah! The equivalent of someone squatting over you and farting in your mouth. Disgusting and acrid on all levels, never again for this crap-o-la.

I kind of new there would be a large number of reviews titled such things as "Aptly named" and "Nasty is right". The unfortunate thing is, it's true. I'm one of the biggest fans of Acid I know, and after the Kong Cameroon I had hoped I'd never hate an Acid again. This cigar has EVERYTHING going for it but its flavor. It looks cool, it burns great, draws like a champ, and smells very nice, but good LORD does it taste bad. This does not bode well for the Red line. For now I have to say stick to your blues for all around quality, yellows for high flavor, and if you're feeling adventurous the purples.

I have been smoking for about 2.5 years now and I smoke HDM Drk Sumatra on a regular basis (very good cigar). Most people say Acid cigars are newbie smokes, WRONG!!. These are very good cigars. I was very currious and bought the sampler tin, I have smoked the Roam, Cold Infusion Tea, Blondie, and now the Nasty and all have been very impressive. I will admit they are not for everone, but I LOVE them. If you like trying things that are different you should give them a try, you might fall in love like I did or you might not. Definatly worth a shot.

I was intrigued by the name of this cigar. I should never buy on a gimmik like that. It was a poorly burning harsh flavored smoke. There were some very strange flavors pushing through, but none that seems to make we want another of these badboys. That said, I paid very little for it, and I was able to tolerate it to the end.

One of the first Acids I tried and is still one of my favorites, clean smooth burn with hints of Chocolate and nutmeg, not like an old mans cigar!

Burned hot, thick chemical smell. Left an almost soapy feeling on the mouth and tasted of burnt yard waste. Nice construction, even draw, beautiful Maduro wrapper, thick white smoke and lots of flavor (though not pleasant to me). Acid may be cutting edge but this is too much over the edge. The lingering aftertaste was too much.

Got this in a sampler, not impressive. Burned hot, uneven a real gagger. If you want a decent ACID try Blondie or Earthiness.

I love this cigar. I am really surprised at the low rating this cigar has on this website. It is reasonably priced and an excellent cigar for those that are are not "cigar snobs"

The Acid Nasty cigar has a nice shape and a great smell. The size is just right for me, being a beginner and the taste is not too strong. I keep one in it's own cigar pouch and enjoy the different taste of the NASTY.

Just like the name NASTY. Don't waste your money. Get a Blondie instead, much better all around.

the first few of these i smoked i really liked after a few more im not to sure . burns very hot and burns fast , aftertase leaves something to be desired

A rosy scent rises from the stick the whole time, but the flavor is a very robust cocoa mixed with earthiness. With my favorite single malt (Aberlour 15yr) it was a profoundly relaxing and never bitter 45 minute smoke. Purists will hate it (witness the low average rating), but as others have said it makes a very nice change of pace from the typical cigar. I've also noted some dramatic shifts in flavor from different boxes, one I had tasted like sour dirt....not the most consistent stick.

not impressed i would say this or earthiness are the two worst acid cigars. i will say this though it looks pretty cool

I thought the other acid I had was bad, but this one wins the prize as the absolutely worst cigar I have ever had. The burn and draw actually weren't that bad, but the taste.......the horror...the horror....

This was an awful tasting cigar. I didn't like anything about this. A real stinky dog rocker.

I have to admit that the magazine ads got me to look at this one. I knew it wasn’t going to be your traditional cigar, but it doesn’t pretend to be either. I wouldn’t smoke this one with a group of my aficionado friends, not that I’m embarrassed to try new things around them, but the aroma maybe offensive to the other smokers. With that said, this is a great smoke for my long drive to and from work. The burn was good and it produced a good amount of smoke. It wasn’t harsh and it was pleasant without the aid of sipp’en whiskey (my favorite way to smoke a good cigar). Another reviewer stated caution when storing these in your humidor, Good advice! The spices will permeate all other cigars in the box. I will keep a few of these in my car for a drive, but that’s about it.

Save your money and fish a urinal cake out at the ball game. This cigar tasted like incense and I had to brush my teeth 5 times afterwards to get the "Nasty" out.

i was, for the first time, unimpressed with this drew estate cigar. the way this cigar is built is designed for a hot smoke, which i don't really enjoy, and i dunno if the one i got was old or something, but drew estate cigars leave my lips tasting almost like sugar. this was more of a standard cigar, and i expected a lot more out of it.

I'm sure the manufacturers name has been incorretly spelled on this cigar brand.it should be acrid & nasty.a gagger to smoke but makes a great flying insect deturent and it's all natural

I am an open-minded individual, perfectly capable of seeing several sides to an issue, as any normally evolved human should. This cigar ended it for me. After several encounters with the ACID line, I have turned into Archie Bunker. My first several experiences came in the form of osmosis. I had the misfortune to smoke a beautiful AVO that had foolishly shared real estate with an ACID inside the humidor at a local Tobacconist. As a result, the AVO was ruined by virtue of its proximity to the ACID, which had hastily infused its flavors into the precious AVO, with fatal results. I soon learned that this phenomenon was all too common in humidors around the country. The spices that are used remind me of King Midas (replacing 'gold' with 'stink'), thus, it is essential that these cigars be kept away from your inventory at all costs. Dryness, damage, and injury are all preferred cigar inflictions when compared to what can happen when the ACIDs get close to one's supply, as the result is irreversible. Unlike a cheese, which can smell bad but taste delicious, the ACID offers no such redemption. Once lit, the cigar resembles a potpourri burner more than a relaxing smoke. The smoke tends to stick to all nearby surfaces, causing them to smell like a camp fire fueled entirely by the spice bottles from the foreign foods section at the grocery store. They burn hot and have a flavor that is somehow even worse than their second-hand aroma. To be fair, I must give Drew Estates credit for being inventive. They have created an original dynamic brand, with an equally unique image. Unfortunately, they tried to innovate both the image AND the fundamentals of cigar flavoring, which ultimately stretched the product too thin. A simple retooling of the image should have been the stopping point. Instead, they have crammed and forced together flavors and strengths that have no natural business with each other, producing an overly contrived and ultimately ridiculous cigar. My local smokeries have banned them, citing harmful effects on the enjoyment of other customers. The product's image is a nice attempt at modernizing the sometimes stodgy stereotype of traditional cigar manufacturing world. However, it proved too presumptuous to try to also reinvent the basics of smoke itself.

reading the other reviews, it seems that this is a love it or hate it cigar. me, i love it. the c-note brought me to the acid line, but the nasty will keep me there. when you find one that satifies your taste and your wife likes the aroma, you've got a real winner. the only drawback in my mind is the length, give me 5 more minutes with this one. still a wonderful buy.

Easy to light, burned hot towards end nice aroma. This cigar is really different. not your every day smoke. worth a try though.

This little guy had i had high expectations for. The burn smelled good and the cigar smelled good. The taste on the other hand was NOT pleasent along with the fact it burned much to hot. I don't recomend this smoke, especialy for the price.

A decent taste, mild spice with some tang. Poor construction, which let to an uneven burn and a on and off draw. Didn't last to long either.

Alright, for all of those who have been complaining: THESE ARE NOT FLAVORED CIGARS! They are called aromatics because the tobacco is placed in the same room as a bunch of spices and botanicals. Go buy a Rum Runner if you want a flavored cigar. Or better yet, just buy some rum.
I had the Acid Kuba Kuba the day before and liked it, but this one was just fantastic. Odd little wrapper, and looked a little oily, but it worked. Was expecting a very strong smoke but was pleasantly surprised. Hadn't smoked a cigar before this week in about a year, this cigar made me wonder why I stopped. I didn't want this cigar to finish, if I had another, I would have smoked it immediately afterward.

"Oh, it's one of those flavored cigars", says my father. "Didn't know you wasted your money on Swishers." Then he tried it. Acid, the popular line by Drew Estate is not your father's cigar, but your dad will most definatly enjoy it. The "nasty" is a very flavorful, aromatic cigar. It's fun shape and hip name make it a wonderful conversation piece. I have people come up to me all the time at bars, and resturants and ask what it is and where they can get them. Try some, or visit www.drewestate.com for more.

If you like something different this one is for you.

Ok, I knew that aromatic cigars are different, and I did keep an open mind...but it just not one that I would do again! So many others that are so good in the $3-5 range and then there is this. Oh well, different stroke for different folks. One bright spot, my wife like the smell...go figure!

roses, musky, chocolate, purfumie. Very unique relaxing smoke, strong at times but always rewarding one of my favorite acids!!

I've always got a few of these on hand, and always have to fight to NOT smoke one of these! Simply a great aromatic cigar. Have tried others in the Acid line, but always come back to the Nasty.

this was the cigar that got me hooked on the acid line... given to me by a friend on the birth of his daughter. it's pretty good, but i've found other acids i've liked better.

Given by my neighbor to try...good thing he isn't a close friend because this cigar would end the friendship. Yuck, I do enjoy an aromatic, scented cigar now and then, but this was terrible. Harsh, burned hot...I hope I still have some brain cells left, and taste buds to enjoy 'Real' cigars...I need an aspirin & some tequila.

Should have known better... Horrible.

Funky smell and taste. Not worth the bucks, IMHO. That's all.

pretty nasty. Waste of money on my part

Aroma of dried and crushed roses. Very tasty cigar. Burns for 10 to 15 minutes, good for the avid cigar smoker that doesn't wish to spend an hour puffin.
