What was your first cigar...

[big_Bear]

Funnily enough, my first hand made cigars, were RyJ No.2 Tubos that I picked up at RAF Akrotiri on the way back from the gulf on R&R. Of course it wasn't in the EU then, so I got them tax free in the shop in the small lounge we were restricted to whilst awaiting our next flight. At the most I think it was about ?40 for a box of 25, and I've never went back from Cuban since then

WOW!! Its amazing to hear someone else with a similar start into this world. My first cigar was from RAF Akrotiri too - I was there with the ATC at 16 with Jimmeh and another fella names James. I had an RyJ corona the other fella has the same too. I remeber Jimmeh saying that He didn't like smoking and was against it. My, my, my, how the mighty have fallen - Graciously with fine sticks, but fallen nonetheless lol.



I only feel guilty

When I was about ten years old I got my mom to buy a 5$ cuban cigar for me to give to my great uncle as a present. I never got around to mailing it to him, so it sat on my shelf for a few years totally un-humidified. One day, having been thoroughly tired of cigarettes I "borrowed" my my mom's friend, I decided to spark it up. I smoked half of it myself, then a few days later went to a buddies house and proceeded to smoke the rest of it with three other guys in the woods. Have no idea what it was. Probably a short-filled cigar. I remember it had orange packaging. My first REAL cigar was a Choix Supreme. I fell in love right there. I may have smoked it too quickly and got so sick I just about threw up, but I realized that day that I loved cigars.

choix supreme is a hell of a smoke. only had 2 of them myself but they were both very good smokes......back to the swishers.....

The first cigar i smoked was a Vasco da Gama, but the cigar that made me feel how good this little sticks are was a Cohiba Exquisito.

CAO 1998 Maduro torpedo. Loved it, but my taste has since changed.

My first Cuban was a Partagas de Luxe in 1997 or so. I used to smoke Dominican Dunhills at the time but that is long over.

Well, if it's any clue I smoked it while drinkin' a pint of Watney's Red Barrel .... that was shit an' so was the Castella!
