What cigar did you loose your "virginity" to

Cuesta Rey # 95 way back in 1983...

Still like Cuesta Rey cigars, but smoke mostly the Cuesta Rey Centenario #11s now.
 
AF Chateau SG. Waaaay back in high school. A bunch of us skipped school and made a stop at the local B&M (back when we had one). I remember feeling like a big man...until I almost vomited in the pool! :blush: :laugh: It never occured to me what I had smoked until I began to smoke on a regular basis. I remember the black band and the cool AF box and the smell of the walk-in humi.
 
My first "real" cigar was a RyJ 1875 Bully. I had tried Swisher Sweets back in high school.
 
Smoked a few swishers in high school. But the 1st real cigar I smoked was a Cohiba Esplendido in Belize. It pushed me over the edge and started down this slippery slope!
 
As a kid, I smoked a King Edwards, real crap and real sick. About 6-7 years ago, my girlfriend, now my wife gave me a John T (pipe tobacco, still crap), but it got me started. My first real stick is Ashton VSG Torpedo (still my favorite).
 
Well the very first smoke I had was a Swisher Sweet Outlaw. The first real cigar i smoked was a Indian Tabac Tubo which i still have a few of.
 
DR Partagas mini, the one that comes in a tin of eight. The thin end of the wedge, you might say. My first Cuban was a Monte #2 consumed on an open-topped sight-seeing boat tour of Berlin in 1999.

It's true, you do always remember your first... :love:
 
My first cigars were Panter Mignon back in High School (early ‘70’s)
Dry cured cigars that came in tins of 10.
I smoked those for a couple of years then stopped.

My first real cigar was a Montecristo Serie V Corona Gorda in 1999.
I really liked it and the rest is history.
 
My Dad's William Penn panatellas! Sheesh... :laugh:

My first handmade was one of the original-blend Jose Benitos:
it remained a go-to cigar until they were discontinued. I'm
afraid to try the new short-filler version. :(
 
The 1st one I ever smoked was one of my uncles candela cigars back in the '70s. I started smoking Swisher Sweets by the box when I was 18. But the cigar that got me totally into it a few years back was a Cuesta Rey Sungrown #9.
 
My first ever cigar was a Cohiba Siglo III and here I am smoking it:

No idea. I smoked a few dozen cheapos in high-school. I smoked a few thousand more in college (probably a good 10% of them had tobacco in them!) and then my Junior year, the head of the department broke out a box of Nat Sherman Hobarts (Nat's grandson went to Hobart, where I did my undergrad). They were my first real cigar, and I was sold. I couldn't afford decent cigars, so I smoked maybe one a month. Then, during my first job after undergrad, my boss gave me a RyJ ISOM in cedar (can't remember which, one of the larger cedros), and I was beyond sold...I was hooked.
 
First cigar was probably a swisher. My first real cigar was an Ashton Aged Maduro, still one of my favorites.
