What was your first cigar...

[Big J]

you ever smoked?
My first cigar was: a Cohiba Esplendido!

[Kdot]

my first cigar was sadly a hamlet...my first real cigar was a RyJ Churchill Tubo and it's still a favorite of mine.

I have not had RyJ Churchill in a long time. Got to put that in my wanted list.

Did Someone say "Petit?:

My first Habana was a H. Upmann Petit Coronas.

Ditto TJ. Wouldn't be inclined to buy a box these days, but would still be happy to smoke one.

I think we've been here somewhere before, but always a pleasure to recall my first puro...

All the way back in 2005, mine was a RyJ Tubos No.2, bought for me by a mate after an evening of heavy drinking and eating to celebrate my birthday.

Cheers, HabanoSy

Unfortunately - mine was a flavoured cigarillo - im suprised i ever had a second!

I had tried this and found it fairly enjoyable, and took another home with me to try again (i had been taken to a cigar bar in Florida by a friend). With the same friend we went to Daytona Beach where I tried the second, which was also flavoured, and it was gastly! So he cut a double corona, he was about to smoke, in half and we smoked half each, and it was a lot more enjoyable. The brand was a NC brand- M.J.Frias - a small unknown brand, but still enjoyed it. It all went downhill from there....

I think we've been here somewhere before...!?!

Yeah, but as the forum ages and we get new members they'll come around again. Weird when you notice it happening. It's the same with flares and yo-yos.

My first was a RyJ Short Churchill incidentally...

OMG! My feelings exactly!

Hmmmm! Never thought of that, senor lil' Jimmy!

Think of it, muchachos!!! Double your stock with a simple clip of your fine Cuban Crafter Cutter!!!

Names TJ, TJCoro, and actually, I DID think of it once, but didn't go through with it, thank god!

[Stevieboy]

You're right Dave and we have to make sure that new folks are welcome to ask questions even if they've been answered before...I was on the CA forum at the weekend and it was full of smug 2000+ posters flaming any newbie who dared ask a question that had been asked/answered before....we must never let this place become like that......not that anyone would, we're a sweet bunch (even the Mexican!)


Back to the subject....mine was a Rafael Gonzales petit panatella of some sort...not great but my next was an Upmann PC which got me hooked

[Stevieboy]

That looks like the sort of shite that gets sold in shops up and down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.....horribly tacky....did it taste ok?

Nicked from my Dad at 14...

[TJCoro]

Must we always play nice?

Always the voice of reason, right senor steviethesweet?

BTW, if you couldn't tell...I cut my teeth at the CA Forum.

Names TJ, TJCoro, and I'm not nearly as sweet as most of you probably think.

Now then, who would like to have a go at my balls?

First proper burn - Monty Petit Tubos.
