First Real Cigar

[boomshay]

my first handrolled stick was an unbanded bundled cigar that came with my humidor from cubancrafters... the only thing i know about the stick is that it said "hecho en mexico" on the bundle, i couldn't wait for it to stabilize in my humi so i smoked it when it was very dry... not a good experience but it was enough to get me hooked

First thing I ever smoked was a sweet-dipped purito (cigarillo-like hand-rolled) that I cut too deeply and the draw was a bit hot, but the sweetness covered up my mistake. Second was a plantation reserve panatela from New Orleans Cigar Factory that I enjoyed emensely, but only smoked it about halfway down because I was getting light-headed and because it was getting bitter
