Doing a little research there was very little to find on the red dot label. I did find a picture of one of there trucks and a little excerpt on Red Dot's. Here's an exerpt:

Quote:

The giant Federal Cigar Co., Inc., with branches in Red Lion, Franklintown, Wrightsville, and York, created the popular and “Truly Different” RED DOT, a cigar that was “Sweet and mild” and “Clear to the lips,” whatever that meant. The Company gave retailers a 3-foot long cardboard cigar similar to the six-footer atop their delivery vehicles.

It appears the marketing saying for the cigar was "Truly Different", so there's no surprise that the flavors you are experiencing are, well, different

Ha! Nice digging. By a box of Acids now and in 60 years you too can have the same experience.

Maybe the secret blend of six fine tobaccos are the acid blue, gold, red, purple, 5, and krush???

Awesome, thanks for finding that. I can certainly agree with the unique flavor experience that they were shooting for.

If this what Acids are going to taste like in 60 years, then I'm stocking up!

"clear to the lips"

I think that means "all the way to the nub"
