You wanna know the honest truth here? I quit cigarettes maybe 15 years ago, and smoked nothing for several years. Then, maybe 7 or 8 years ago, I saw an ad for a bundle of cigars and a humidor for around $25. As it was nearing my birthday, I decided to treat myself to a little somethin' somethin'. So the cigar that sent me down the slope was a cheap bundled dogrocket from Thompson's.
I have not looked back, though I have seriously upgraded my tastes.
