My first legit smoke was an Ashton VSG Robusto
Smoke em' if you got em'
Not sure I can remember exactly. I think the first cigar I tasted was a machine made cuban, the first cigar I smoked completely was a Backwoods and the first premium I smoked was a Punch. Its all kinda hazy though, I guess I didn't realize the importance of those moments. I do remember vividly the cigar that got me into cigar smoking as a hobby, the Partagas Black Label.
2002 in January I think, Montesino Robusto to celebrate the birth of my cousin. Sat in a bar in spirit lake with my uncle and he taught me a little about cigars. It's interesting that now I probably know more than he does.

My first was 3 years ago on my 18th; an RyJ vintage robusto.
I know a guy that works for Swisher here in Jacksonville, and he gets me samples from time to time, so my first ever smoke of any kind wasn't definitely something from there. Probably a flavor with a plastic or wood tip, not the same, I know.
My company had a golf tournament and one of the local Cigar stores had a booth set up selling cigars on the course. I bought a Punch cigar and smoked it while golfing, that would be the first Cigar I paid for, and my first real cigar.
The swisher guy has also gotten me some other decent stuff from one of their sister companies in Honduras, Siglo 21, I believe they were. Decent enough, and the price is right.
