I call Viral Marketing a la KITT.


If not, that genuinely sucks.

Why all the sudden bashing on Drew Esate? I am not a fan of infused smokes, but ACID is the BEST selling brand cigar in production. Obviously, enough people like them. If you don't like ACID, don't smoke them. I don't. But what is it with the company that makes people not like them? I doubt that it has anything to do with a ghettolicious car that the company uses for promotions. All thoughts are welcome.

Thank you! First, I want it to be clear that I have no relationship with Drew Estate, other than being a customer. Although I do not like ACID cigars, I really like the philosophy of what they do and how they do it. I would invite everyone to check out the current issue of Cigar Press magazine to get some insight into Jon and Marvin and how they run their company.

Well said, Jim. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Jonathan Drew stopped by our offices this past Friday. I asked him about the car. He's really broken up about it.

Despite what you may think of it, it was Drew Estate's "Mona Lisa". It's not likely to be recovered. My heart goes out to them.

Would someone wake me up if they find the car?

I always thought the Impala was a super-cool ride, bone-stock, so I would never have done this to one if it were mine, but it's not. If that's what they want to do with their car, more power to 'em, I say. It's kinda like those women who feel the need to pierce and tattoo every part of their body. Might not be my "thing", but it's also not my body/car, so it's really none of my business. It's not like they were tagging the Sistine Chapel, or anything.

I think it would have been really classy restored to original, with an almost "ghosted" logo on the fender, or something like that, but they obviously weren't going for "classy". If you're going to build a car to promote ACID cigars, OTT is the only logical way to go, right? Matters of taste aside, there's still no excuse for stealing it, and I would hope that none of the BOTL-rillas get any joy from the dirt-bags winning. I once had a 2-day-old stereo taken from my car and I know how livid I was about that (for about a year), so I can barely imagine how pissed off I would be if the whole car had been stolen.

I agree....I'm a huge fan of the "clean" look (most trim deleted, handles/locks shaved, no badges)....I grew up thinking that's how a car is supposed to be...simple, elegant, as little to mess that up as possible.

Then you have the new-skool crowd, who like to throw as much special sauce on it as possible. To me, it's over the top...but to those that like it, it's a thing of beauty.

It's like how people used to carp and moan when people but big hood scoops (usually to make room for the huge intake) on their Mustangs or Camaros....now that's considered tame, since now it's all about having big body kits (again, more special sauce).

It's like how some like their cigars to have flavor infused in them (special sauce), while others of us like our cigars to be...cigars

I'm a fan of any company that takes the time to make a cool custom car. The fact that it isn't the car I would have chosen to spend a butt load of money on doesn't make the time and effort put in of less value. I will say that if it was a shelby cobra I would have died a little inside if it was chopped up. That is what insurance if for though.
