OK, so I've stumbled across an interesting character on the outskirts of the "cigar world" and I thought I would check to see if anyone on this site has heard any of the crazy stuff that I've dragged up on the Internet...
Lars' real name is Larry.
He sells cigars online with odd infusions. After reading a review online for the DOPO PIZZA cigar (infused with pizza flavors and sweetness, I read), I decided to order a 5-pack. Call it morbid curiosity.
There are mentions of Lars on the Internet involving everything from hanging out with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith to having a group of followers in a Cult-like atmosphere to being a scam artist that has used others' credit lines to start companies that crashed and burned.
There are also mentions of having sex with underage girls.
There also seems to be a connection to Jonathan Drew. According to unconfirmed reports, Drew spent time with Lars and eventually lured away a bunch of folks working for Lars. Comments included the definite influence that Lars' infusions and artistic style had on ACID cigars.
Supposedly, the ACID cigar named "Extraordinary Larry" is named after him.
Lars is now overweight and has magenta hair. He has many inane videos on YouTube where he records himself doing things such as going to In N Out burger.
...so tell me if you've ever heard of this guy. I just got the email yesterday (over a week after I ordered my cigars) that they are on the way. I will let you know how a pizza-infused cigar tastes.
