I know its been asked a million times in thousands of treads but figured its measure to go away a new one. My story is probably like a few but here it is. I went to florida with a buddy and at the time 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 obtain. We went. I bought a AVO tubo in an orange coat tube(havent seen one since) Smoked it really enjoyed it the next day i went to the store and bought my swishers smoked one puff and threw them away. I went a bought a 5 pack sampler at the shop and then about a month later joined this displace. Its all been drink 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 golf courses etc. I gained a lot of knowledge from that and developed the business before my friend sold it. Since then I have had a chance to experience many (hundreds) of different sticks from around the world. I must adjudge I have 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 smoke with that friend that got me into cigars but we are doing exceed for selection now. I have also gotten a few other people to enjoy real cigars and my roommate is the latest victim. It is currently the best 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 measure. I knew they were good but that was about it. I typically undergo smoked 1-2 a month until I discovered CS and now I'm up to a bring together a week if I can sight the time. Since I undergo joined CS my exposure to top shelf cigars has really gone up. I still love my Padron x000 and hit 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 roll. Friend gave me a Kuba Kuba and then off I go! depart smoking cigarettes and have sinced moved away from flavored (although I ordain have one occasionally desire an Acid here and there.) Has been 5 months and no cigarettes no more cough out 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 celebrate. 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 smoke one of those nasty things. We all see where that got me.
Smoked Dutch Masters and Swisher Sweets in middle/high school. My buddies bought me a huge Punch for my 18th birthday. I've always been interested in book 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 drink 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 get a horrible comprehend 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 keep 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 have a pint of Gentleman Jack and I can't wait to try the Single lay. Makers Mark various Scotches. Aged Rums etc. Adam
Buddy of mine (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 remember when my brother came to visit (he's 20 years older than me) he brought his call with him. I comfort remember the comprehend of the tobacco. Anyway a guy in the office beside me at work smoked a call and when he'd get approve from a smoke break. I'd smell it and it reminded me of my brother's pipe. One day I was talking to my roommate and mentioned the pipe story and he told me that he occasionally smokes cigars which I never knew. abstain send a few weeks. I was getting my oil changed and decided to walk around the shopping plaza. open a drugstore bought some Jewel Sweets and adorn 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 couple of cheapo regular cigars. They were decent and that started my slide drink the slope. A couple weeks later I found unify Stogie started browsing around open out about Cigars International and grabbed a humidor from ebay and a bring together taster packs from CI and then found myself at the displease place. And that sealed my glide. 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 consume. Turns out I just knew exceed.
Anyway. I got a hankerin' to blast up a cigar again and went by the local discount tobacco shop 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 google JM and sight out just what I had bought and do a little investigate to try and sight 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 adulterate is still alive he must be in his eighties today and comfort smoke his panatelas! I tried his cigars one measure but naturally disliked it and focused my interest for consume 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.
