My first was a 99 cent Century Sam from a plastic drum sitting on a counter top of a 7-11. My buddy and each had one as we drove to a hockey tournament together. It tasted like crap. The next was a Cohiba that the same friend brought home with him when he honeymooned in Cuba. I realized a few years later that it was a fake, but it was still a damn good cigar. The next time I had one was 4 yrs ago when I honeymooned in Cuba. I brought back a box of RyJ Mille Fleurs and a box of RASCC and I have been hooked ever since.
