We ended a long day with a nice dinner and a stop the hotel bar that also sold cigars for an after dinner cocktail where he introduced me to my first cigar paired with some Grand Mariner. The rest as they say is history.

Do you remember the cigar? Also, have you tried The Grand Mariner cigars?

I'm gonna guess a Macanudo Portofino Tubo.

First ever was some kind of "It's a ..." I think.
I think I smoked some Tiparillos I stole from someone's dad at an early age.
First real cigar was a Macanudo or maybe some kind of Fuente. Liquor store cigars.
Hard to remember, easy to forget.
First Cuban was some kind of Monte, toro sized. Before the internet.

My first cigar was a Macanudo something-or-another. I remember smoking it in the parking lot right after I'd bought it. I was laid up in the parking for an hour or so after smoking it before I was ok to drive home. I faintly remember laying on the ground next to my truck waiting for the crappy feeling inside of me to go away. :r <- Like that but more nauseated.

First cigar that really pique'd my interest was either the Tatuaje Verocru No. 1 Lado Occidental or a Davidoff Short Perfecto. I can't remember which one I smoked first.

I believe it was a Monte #2. Probably why I still enjoy these as my "Victory Cigar" after a great fishing trip or other awesome time away from the "real" world.

My very first was a Hoyo de Monterrey (exact type I cannot remember at the moment) back in 1995 to celebrate my graduation from college along with a Glenlivet 12.

While I've expanded my repertoire of sticks, my preference is now the Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Dark Knight I. But I am also finding myself becoming very interested in the Bonita Premium Estate 18th Anniversary as well. Both go nicely with either a Balvenie 15 or 18. :)

Dark Knights are tasty

First would have been a Black and Mild plastic tip. Smoked the wood tips for a few years and alternated between wine and original. Around 13 months ago while in Miami my fiance bought me a MC Platinum Robusto. I have not looked back yet.

Like many of you, Backwoods was my first. Smoked it during a poker game in the living room of my tiny apartment shortly after high school.

Some years later, my moment of conversion was, I believe, a Romeo y Julieta (NC) during the cigar craze of the 1990s.

Mine was an unbanded stick picked up with some friends on vacation to OBX.

My very first cigar was a Camacho Triple Maduro that my friends thought would be funny to give to a novice.

Did it go the way they thought it would?

Some dog rocket that the local b & m owner's wife picked out for me. After she clipped and helped light the wretched thing, the owner commented that he'd not have picked that cigar - ever. If she didn't look like she could not ever possibly drown, I'd have tried to pick for myself! :tu
