AndyMadera · 07-09-2009, 12:43 AM

When you smoked your first cigar, CC and NC and what were they, given by who?

NC - 26, A Conny Petite Corona, made by Rafael Guillen
CC - 28, A Ramon Allones gifted by a BOTL

JE3146 · 07-09-2009, 01:42 AM

NC - 19, A mint flavored cigar my roommate brought me from Hawaii
CC - 22, a Montecristo #2 gifted by a BOTL that I smoked watching the Pats lose the superbowl to the Giants

NC - When I was in my early 20's a friend of mine smoked nickel cigars. They were cheaper than cigarettes at the time. He gave me one to try and they were nasty.

CC - When I was in my late thirties I was working in Canada and found a B&M that sold Cubans. Purchased some RyJ's and fell in love with cigar smoking.

gnukfu · 07-09-2009, 03:43 AM

49 for both

NC given by me to me - can't remember what it was
CC - Party Short from Mark (Yazzie)

07-09-2009, 03:49 AM

CC's - at 23, a MC "A" after a celebration dinner.
NC's - at 25, an Ashton VSG enchantment (the small chubby figurado) in vegas while playing, showed me there was much more out there then just CC's, had my first opus shortly after that.

stevefrench · 07-09-2009, 04:00 AM

NC - I was 17 and it was a White Owl from a friend
CC - I was 23 and it was a Montecristo Tubo I bought when my son was born(1980).

NC - 19, House Blend Cigar at Stanza di Sigari in Boston.
CC - 22, Cohiba LE 2004 given to me by a friend in the wine room at Stanza di Sigari.

I guess its Stanza's fault I've gone down the slope and the Asylums fault I kept falling.

akakirby · 07-09-2009, 06:17 AM

nc-early 20s
cc- 30 (bout a month ago!) was given a cohiba maduro by johnnykay5 at Mac's herf.

14holestogie · 07-09-2009, 06:24 AM

NC - 13 - probably a Swisher perfecto abducted from my stepfather
(smoked cigarettes until age 32, then slowly made my way to cigars)

cc - 54 - this last December, a Boli (from RevSmoke)

Ashcan Bill · 07-09-2009, 07:04 AM

First NC was a Tiparillo picked up in a liquor store while heading to the beach with some friends to do some pier fishing. That was in 1969.

First "verified" CC would have been in the early nineties. A buddy's parents liked to vacation in Spain several times a year, and they always picked him up a box of Esplendidos in the duty free shop on their way home. We used to smoke 'em with a tumbler of Jack Daniels.

TripleF · 07-09-2009, 07:06 AM

First hand rolled was from a Thompson bundle (given to me) in Oct. 2006.

bowhnter · 07-09-2009, 07:09 AM

NC, I am sure it was a Swisher Sweet sometime in my teens

CC was about 12-13 years ago in my late 30's...almost positive it was a Monte #4. I will never forget how good that was.

Hippi3Slay3r · 07-09-2009, 07:10 AM

kydsid · 07-09-2009, 07:52 AM

NC - 18 -Swisher Cigarello - does that count as a cigar? If not 22 - Macanudo given to me by a classmate while at FLETC.
