Montecristo #4 at Singapore Airport, januari 2006. Started to smoke on that vacation to Singapore & Indonesia, on the way back I bought that box. Once I knew more about cigars I bought a box of H.Upmann corona major.

Man, that's a tough one. It's been a while.

I'm thinking it may have been either a box of Fuente Privadas or Padron Ambassadors. Or something from Hoyo de Monterey???

But I do remember things didn't hurt as much back then. :lr

Bought a box of DPG blues earlier this year and it was my first box. Still one of my favorite go to cigars

I have yet to buy a whole box, but I am putting together a list for when my deployment is over and I will have room to store them.

Great cigar IMHO. I still have a few from a box I purchased at the beginning of the year. :tu

So true! I was looking online at the JR website and noticed it still had my order history from 2008. I bought my first bundle from them and it only cost me $14 for 25 cigars. Albeit they were not super nice but the same bundle goes for around $30 now. :td

H. Upmann coronas minor (no tubes) at the 63rd St. LCDH in Veradero. Still have the box.

Re: What Was Your First Box Purchased?
 

5 Vegas Gold Maduro churchills, which I then promptly destroyed by putting a humi-pillow in the box for several days, awaiting room in my humidor. Horrible burn problems later (as in, it wouldn't stay lit even under constant flame from a dual torch butane lighter) I realized just how wet they had become. After dry boxing for a week I can sort of smoke one, with 'only' 20 or so relights. Yep, I messed them up that badly!

Re: What Was Your First Box Purchased?
 

It can be saved my friend, you just need to get them back to the proper humidity level. Gonna need to be patient, it's hard I know.

Re: What Was Your First Box Purchased?
 

Sad but true. If you put them in your humidor (assuming it is holding proper humidity) they will eventually level out to the correct humidity. Put them in and let them sit for about 2-3 weeks and they should be good to go.

Re: What Was Your First Box Purchased?
 

Thanks for the advice! They're in my humidor now. It's a small one, but it has a good seal, a freshly-calibrated digital hygrometer, and it's holding steady within +/- 1% at 65% with beads. Just have to be patient. Better go buy some that are ready to smoke! :D
