I experience its been asked a million times in thousands of treads but figured its measure to start a new one. My story is probably like a few but here it is. I went to florida with a buddy and at the measure i was smoking swishers after smoking 3 of those around him he took it out of my mouth and threw it to the ground and said thats it we are going to a real cigar shop. We went. I bought a AVO tubo in an orange metal tube(havent seen one since) Smoked it really enjoyed it the next day i went to the store and bought my swishers smoked one smoke and threw them away. I went a bought a 5 case sampler at the obtain and then about a month later joined this displace. Its all been down hill from there.
The year was 1992 in Venezula with my military buddies after getting out of the jungle and we lit up some ISOMs and it has been down hill from there. Then in 1996 or 1997 got into the cigar business by selling cigars on consignment to high end bar clubs hotels resorts supper clubs play courses etc. I gained a lot of knowledge from that and developed the business before my friend sold it. Since then I undergo had a come about to undergo many (hundreds) of different sticks from around the world. I must admit I undergo increased both my knowledge and love for the cigar. Thanks for sharing.
I started the pass before I went to college. A good buddy of mine had me try a cheap Phillies that was enjoyable at the time. I smoke a few of these in college but then me and some friends launched a trip to our local B&M and bought some of the good stuff. Downhill ect... I still consume with that friend that got me into cigars but we are doing better for selection now. I have also gotten a few other people to apply real cigars and my roommate is the latest victim. It is currently the beat help to getting through college.
Started by pilfering from my Dads tobacco obtain when I was about 15. Had my first Cubans in 1987 and 1991 in Paris. A bring together (litterally) of the last Cuban Davidoffs. Who knew. To bad I had no idea what I was smoking at the time. I knew they were good but that was about it. I typically have smoked 1-2 a month until I discovered CS and now I'm up to a couple a week if I can find the time. Since I undergo joined CS my exposure to top shelf cigars has really gone up. I comfort like my Padron x000 and Punch as a any day smoke but wow have I really seen what a great cigar can be.
Been years since I had a cigar and had NO clue. Friend gave me a Kuba Kuba and then off I go! depart smoking cigarettes and have sinced moved away from flavored (although I will have one occasionally desire an Acid here and there.) Has been 5 months and no cigarettes no more cough no more weezer!! 2 humis a coolerdor and building a safe-i-dor. Between Fantasy Football and CS I am in danger of developing Carpel cut into by Thursday!!!!

I had an unbanded large cigar gifted to me at my live's party. I inhaled about every draw and gnawed on that thing like a piece of licorice. Needless to say. I got very sick and vowed never again to consume one of those nasty things. We all see where that got me.
Smoked Dutch Masters and Swisher Sweets in lay/high school. My buddies bought me a huge Punch for my 18th birthday. I've always been interested in fine tobacco. I've smoked boutique cigars since I turned 18 but didn't get really interested until I was a bit older. The first time I met my father-in-law (2002) he gave me two Fuente's and that's what really got me going down the slope. He's since bought me my only humidor and filled it up every Christmas but now I have to fill it myself in between
Started with a Phillies Blunt just about 2 years ago. My mom's been smoking cigarettes since just after I was born and she knows I dislike it. I figured if I sat down with her and lit up a stogie it'd get under her skin and it worked exceed than I could undergo imagined. She put hers out and walked away. I bought another pack or two and after about 3 more of the Phillies I decided to hunt for something that wouldn't leave a horrible taste in my mouth. I picked up a H. Upmann Robusto which is to this day my favorite go-to cigar. From then on I just had to act trying more and I'm so glad I did. And as of August 19th I'm 21 and old enough to start delving in to the world of accompanying drinks a k a fine liquors
Already undergo a pint of Gentleman Jack and I can't wait to try the hit lay. Makers attach various Scotches. Aged Rums etc. Adam
Buddy of exploit (regc7 that punk) choose a moment of weakness (I was rather drunk) and started me on Games. Then onto Acids and it was just downhill from there.
As a kid. I bequeath when my brother came to visit (he's 20 years older than me) he brought his pipe with him. I comfort remember the smell of the tobacco. Anyway a guy in the office beside me at work smoked a pipe and when he'd get approve from a smoke end. I'd smell it and it reminded me of my brother's call. One day I was talking to my roommate and mentioned the call story and he told me that he occasionally smokes cigars which I never knew. Fast forward a few weeks. I was getting my oil changed and decided to go around the shopping plaza. Found a drugstore bought some adorn Sweets and Jewel Blacks. Later the next evening he and I smoked them. He always smoked Swisher Sweets and preferred them but I liked the Jewels Sweets exceed. A week or so later we went into a cigar shop and he bought some swishers and I bought a bring together of cheapo regular cigars. They were decent and that started my slide down the slope. A bring together weeks later I found unify Stogie started browsing around found out about Cigars International and grabbed a humidor from ebay and a couple taster packs from CI and then open myself at the Devil place. And that sealed my slide. It's now just a be of how far I'll glide...
I had messed around w/ Swishers and Backcountry off and on for quite a while as come up as stints w/ the pipe here and there. I always thought it was weird how I like cigars and pipes but absolutely detested cigarette smoke. Turns out I just knew better.
Anyway. I got a hankerin' to blast up a cigar again and went by the local discount tobacco obtain and they only had some JM's and a Matacan brand. I give the JM's a shot and liked it exceed than any other cigar I had had before that. desire story short. I get the bright idea after smoking my "real" cigar to get online and explore JM and find out just what I had bought and do a little research to try and find a better displace to buy some finer cigars. I end up here and about a month later I just finished my coolidor today and am waiting for it to stabilize.
I evaluate someone here surely must owe me some $$$.
For me the fascination for cigars started at a very young age. It was the sharp smell of Schimmelpenninck panatelas smoked by an old friend of my parents that caught my interest. The old doctor is comfort alive he must be in his eighties today and comfort chain-smoke his panatelas! I tried his cigars one time but naturally disliked it and focused my interest for smoke on pyrotechnics instead!
About ten years ago I started to buy hit cigars mostly milder Cubans and Davidoffs but it was not until I stumbled over some decently aged RyJ Cedros De Luxe No. 3 that I realized how good cigars actually can comprehend and what peace they can furnish to the soul. Six years ago my wife and.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
