I would have to have another humidor to ever smoke acids again since I do not have or want any infused cigars. I got two with a bundle I bought a few months back and I thought they were ok.
I think that they are good for what they are. To me, sometimes you want to have a a nice brandy or scotch, but sometimes you want to have a rum and coke. It's not like they are sub-par construction wise or anything, they are just a different type of smoke. And yes, make sure you keep them in a separate humidor if you are keeping them in there for any length of time. My liquor store near my house sells them for fairly cheap and I get them from time to time, but they have them in with the other ones and they definitely cross contaminate.
The problem I have with them is that the wrapper is infused. I think in some ways they would be a more agreeable smoke if the infusion was restricted to the filler. It's hard for me to get past the sticky sweetness of the wrapper on my lips. But, as others have said, sometimes they make sense. I have an old herd-a-dor I have a couple of acids in. Of course they have been there a while...
These are the cigars I pretty much started on. I'm a big fan of them always have been. I don't smoke them all the time...but it's nice to have one every once in a while. They are just too expensive now...through local B&M that is. An Extraordinary Larry is 15$+...i remember when they were not quite 10$...Drew Estate keeps upping the price on their stuff every few months.

Dafuq???
$15 for Ex-Larry ???? I know B&Ms prices are higher but damn that's stupid expensive. Whoaaa....just checked CCOM and they're charging $13 for a single. Gimme a break, DE!
Last time I bought an Ex-Larry it was like $8 at B&M .... no way I'd pay over $10
Wish I could still find the ACID 5. That was pretty damn good smoke.
I've only ever had the ACID Blondie. It was...unique, not altogether unpleasant. For some reason "mossy" was the only word I could come up with for the flavor. But overall, the cloying honey-dipped sweetness of the wrapper was too much for me.
The de price increases are an insult anymore, why you Liga guys put up with the game is beyond me. Somewhere jd is laughing to the bank living in his mansion, laughing about how his social sites and hipster campaign paid of big time. Keep buying them, I'll keep buying real cigars. End story.
