Back in high school I started in on Swisher Sweets. Don't really remember why, but I remember driving around the hills in my jeep smoking a wood tipped cherry flavored swisher sweet. In college once in a great while I'd buy a pack of swishers to smoke on occasion. That's when my dad would often have a pack of Roughnecks laying around that him and I would share. Once I graduated college, I'd venture into the humidor at whatever shop I found and grab one or two sticks of what of what I could afford, but that was far and few in between. I tended to stick to A. Fuente line. Then about 3 years ago my mother got my a small 15 count humidor for Christmas. That brought me completely into this "hobby." I now have a 150 count humidor. I find I'm more of a cigar collector then smoker, I only smoke 1 stick every 2 to 3 weeks on average.
