By Gary Korb  I've been thinking about doing a series of features on specific cigar brands for a while now. Not just any brands though. The series would spotlight high-quality brands that are somewhat out of the mainstream. That said, I couldn't think of a better brand to start with than ACID.
IF THERE EVER WAS A "STANDARD" for making infused premium cigars, ACID cigars would be it. Officially introduced at the RTDA (now the IPCPR) Trade Show in 1999, the brand took off like gangbusters and created one of the most unique "cult" followings by cigar smokers, perhaps second only to Padrón cigars.

 Apparently struck by the economic crisis in Europe, revenues of Habanos S.A. dropped 10.3 percent in 2011, despite a 4-percent rise in sales of Cuban luxury cigars outside the European Union last year, Imperial Tobacco Ltd. said in its 2011 annual report.
The company had reported a 2-percent rise of Cuban luxury cigar sales for the six months ended March 31, 2011.
Even so, the Corporación Habanos S.A. joint venture, of which UK-based Imperial Tobacco holds half, doubled its after-tax profits last year.

Young GOP women take up cigars, spittoons, and endless rounds of poker to enjoy low-key 'smoker' on threshold of WWII
By Beth Stebner | Daily Mail Online (UK)  The Good Old Party in earlier times elicits images of a boys’ club, with men in suits spending their time shuffling cards and swapping the latest political stories in rooms engulfed in smoke and tobacco.
But one young group of Republican women in Milford, Connecticut asked why the casual get-together – called a smoker – was exclusively for menfolk.

 While Cuban cigars are renowned the world over for their quality and their history, the process of how Cuban cigars are made – and just what they mean to the Cuban people – have remained largely unexplored, particularly in film. But thanks to the efforts of James Suckling – one of the world’s leading experts on cigars (and wine), viewers of his new film, Cigars: The Heart & Soul of Cuba, get a unique glimpse into the culture and production of habanos. Suckling, the former European Editor at Cigar Aficionado and now the pioneer of a new media venture, JamesSuckling.com, that provides cutting-edge analysis of wine and cigars, guides the film, which was written and directed by noted Canadian director James Orr. To learn more, Caribbean Journal talked to Suckling about Cuban cigars, their importance to the Cuban people and what makes them one of the most sought-after products in the world.
What motivated you to make Cigars: The Heart and Soul of Cuba?
I always wanted to do a movie on Cuban cigars, because I’ve been going [to Cuba] since the early 1990s as the European Editor of Cigar Aficionado. So when I left the magazine, one of the main reasons was that I wanted to do this movie on Cuban cigars.

 The Gran Habano - G.R. Tabacaleras Co. cigar factory located on "Calle Ocho", 8th street, in the Little Havana district of Miami is completed and ready to roll. Focusing on the highest standard for the cigar community the factory will employ 10 Cuban rollers who will produce no more than 1,000 cigars per day to ensure quality and consistency. This will be the base of our new cigar line “Gran Habano Miami” which will lead off with the soon-to-be-released Black Corojo, Opium Miami and the continuance of our STK program.

 By Bob Barr | Former Congressman (R-GA)
The Daily Caller (Washington, DC)
 Government regulators and their enablers in Congress, always on the prowl to target industries for ever-more oppressive regulations and higher taxes, are now focusing on the venerable “good cigar” eloquently extolled by Rudyard Kipling and many other connoisseurs of a “good smoke.”
Since the mid-1960s, tobacco has been one of the big-government nannies’ favorite targets. While anti-tobacconists have scored only sporadic victories in the courts over the past few decades, that is partly due to the fact that until 2009, when Congress passed the “Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act,” tobacco was not lawfully regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

By Bob "The Rev" Meyn
 With the Saints now heartbreakingly out of the playoffs, The Rev, like all New Orleanians, is turning his attention to the great mind eraser known as Carnival Time. The Mardi Gras Season, probably New Orleans' most famous celebration, is technically the time between the Epiphany and Ash Wednesday, culminating in Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday"), where we all prepare for the Lenten Season of abstinence and penance by sinfully partying like rock stars to get the last taste of our vices.
 The Mardi Gras Season is also famous locally for the King Cake, a delicious coffee cake served properly only during Carnival Time. When it comes to the proper alcoholic beverage to serve with this dessert and other famous New Orleans creations like Bananas Foster, I turn to our brothers from down under who give us the incredibly delicious and amazingly priced Penfolds Club Tawny Port. (The Rev trusts almost any liquor from Australia since they can drink most people from New Orleans under the table, which is saying something.)
