I am well into my 40th year of cigar smoking and loving every single one of them.

I smoked my first cigar at 16 (1997), a CoRo (i think) with my Dad. I then would have cigars here and there but didn't really start smoking seriously until 3 years ago.

LOL! My first cc was a CoRo as well in 1995. Started smoking cigars around 1989 (macanudo crystal was my first I believe), so close to 19 years now? (good god)

I've been smoking since the mid-90s. I took a year or two off somewhere in there and then really got into it around '03/04. That's when I discovered how slippery the slope is. I've been loving it ever since.

Not counting the black n milds I smoked in high school (cause I thought it was cool!) off and on probably since 2001. A buddy of mine loved AF hemingway's so he would always offer me one when I would be over his spot. I didn't appreciate it at the time but smoked anyway. I might have smoked 12 a year back then, now it is like 12 a week.

Started in 2006 or 2007, but didn't get serious about it till this year.

Since 1987. Dutch Masters and Swisher Sweets to LGC and Fuente Hemingways. When I got married (this time), slowed down to about twice a month for 8 years (finances). Now back to once a week. Sometimes twice.

I smoked many crap sticks when I was growing up, Swishers, Backwoods, etc...
I also used to smoke BeeDees.
I started grabbing red dot cohibas on occasion over the last couple years with friends for special occasions, like my wedding or cabin trips.
I only consider myself a serious cigar smoker since the beginning of June, so I am still a huge newb. I do feel like I have progressed extremely fast due to all the BOTL here at CA. I can blame all of you for throwing snowballs at me as I stood on the tip of the slippery icy slope looking down.
Also I gotta blame my neighbors and good BOTL who showed me their humidors and inspired me to make this a full time hobby. Two of them have recently joined CA!!!
Thanks everybody, I plan to be here at CA forever! I am commited and insane!

I have had 3-4 cigars in my lifetime until January this year. Now, I've hit the slope and continue to slide! FUN

I've had about a dozen cigars in my life, and I've been "smoking" for about 4 weeks now. LOL

Since the early-90's, but I took a hiatus while my kids were in their formative, questioning years and I didn't want to risk being a hypocrite. Started up again about 4-5 years ago
