What was your first cigar? First box purchase?

[jaewing]

Very first cigar in Jan. 05. Followed that up by a Punch Gran Puro the very next day. Both very nice.

Have yet to buy a whole box. I have spent my money on trying many different brands, sizes, shapes and strengths of cigars.

what one would interpret as first.

Somewhere around the age of twelve my friends and I got some Tiajuana Smalls and smoked those. God I remember throwing up later. Severe nicotine OD. That was when TS's were new on the market. Geez...I'm dating myself!

Many years later after smoking cigarettes for a while I was on this kick with Parodi's.

But my first real cigar was a Macanudo. I don't remember which for sure. A Toro sized. Duke of York???

My first box purchase was a box of Punch Rothchilds EMS. A great inexpensive cigar and looks real pretty when you open the box!

Hey MMAB, have the same pic in your avatar as a tattoo on the back of my calf.

My first smoke was a Drew Estates Kahlua.

No boxes as of yet.

i've had swisher sweets, but i dont consider that a cigar...my first real cigar was a montecristo tubo, i was with some ppl at the mall, walked into a cigar shop, and i thought i try a good cigar, i was hooked from there on. havent bought a full box of anything yet, maybe i'll get a box of diablo picantes...

I started out when I was around 12 years old smoking any kind of cigars I could get my hands on, which were usually Philly titans, blunts, cheroots, etc. Later I began getting into black and milds, backwoods, swisher sweets, and yes, the Dutchmasters.

My first box purchase was "Spirit of cuba" by Alec Bradey (I think). Not a bad cigar when its left to age for a bit...

I don't know what it is about brother in laws, that's who got me started as well. Wow, taking on the strength of the diablo as a rookie aficionado, man-you definitely earnedy our stripes there. Not a bad cigar to start out with.

Isn't that ironic!!!!!!!

I have a tattoo of a dragon on my left upper arm.

Is there some meaning to this?

Hmmmmmm..........we have a connection!
