How's everyone doin? Just here to introduce myself and hopes to chat with fellow enthusiasts. Im a big fan of CAO, Drew Estate "Acid" Cigars, Partagas and Cohiba. I havent strayed away from those brands. I really need to find a new smoke and not too sure to try next so if you have any suggestions PLEASE feel free to talk to me. I can be reached via AIM/AOL instant messenger under the screen name of JKropetz.

Hello JKropetz, how are you?  I'm very happy to hear you're a CAO and Drew Estate fan - that makes two of us.  What is your favorite cigar by both manufacturers?  I find the CAO Black to be very enjoyable.  It burns well and has a great flavor.  Many people say they taste some hints of Vanilla; however, I have yet to experience that phenomenon.  I also prefer the Acid Kuba Kuba.  That cigar tastes great with a lager!

CAO Black! A great stick. Creamy and peppery, a beautiful combination. That and the Sopranos are my two favorite smokes from CAO.

As far as Drew Estate goes...I too am a fan. The Natural Root and ACID 5 are incredible cigars. There's nothing quite like either on the planet, and they're very easy for traditional cigar enthusiasts to enjoy.

Oh, welcome to the club JK! Be sure to sign the petition!
