Aside from the wooden-tipped stuff I smoked in college to try to look cool, my first real cigar was an Onyx Reserve Mini Beli about 10 years ago. I bought it at a liquor store, and only because I liked the look of the really dark wrapper with the white band. It stained my mouth and fingers black, and it knocked me on my ass (or maybe it was the Jack Daniels). Anyway, it was $4, and my friends thought I was nuts to spend that much on one cigar! Oh, how times have changed...

Cohiba XV; thought it was the same as the Cuban at the time.
My palate had not developed yet; just tasted like a big cigarette, but enjoyed it just the same.

I was pretty lucky on my first cigar. When I got to Germany, my boss was big into cigars.. I expressed interest in trying cigars, so he took me down to the tobacco shop downtown and had me buy a Montecristo #2.. that was 1989. I enjoyed it and that pretty much settled my habit.

Had a dorm mate across the hall that smoked pipe, and I went to Iwan Reis with him to get a new pipe. Decided to grab a cigar to smoke with him. Montecristo #3. I remember liking it, but now that I'm more seasoned I'm tempted to try another.

First time I had a handrolled was actually the first time I had smoked period. And by my lonesome, I've learned quite a few life lessons from that NC Punch Robusto...

#1 Don't smoke on an empty stomach

#2 Cigars aren't meant to be smoked front to end in 5 minutes

#3 Inhalation, although possible, will put you on your ass if you're not ready for it.

I don't have a clue what my first one was.
Furthest back I can remember was an El Original Toro Maduro. That was about 5 years ago.

Oh, there was a cigar when I was a kid, but I don't count that one! First as a serious smoker was (I think) a CAO Moontrance, at a hunting club west of Tuscaloosa, from a stash of cigars my son had.

Romeo and Julieta. Don't remember what kind. Was 10 years ago and an old cuban friend no longer with us brought me into this sick, sick world of cigars.

RIP Lalo, you wil always be missed.

Default Re: You always remember your "first"..or do you?

Way back in the day I started out smoking Te-Amos and Punch Maduros with the occasional La Unica mixed in. Also when I first started we only smoked once in a while usually when drinking. I was an off and on cigar smoker for a while until about 9-10 years ago I started to really delve into it and smoking more on a regular basis and than the slope struck!

My first cigar was a Gurkha Legend and it was horrible! I lit it using a BBQ lighter and got a lung full of overheated tobacco on the first puff. I've since gone back and revisited that cigar a couple times and found that it really is a terrible cigar.

My second cigar was a RyJ 1875 Bully, which I enjoyed immensely, although a lot of that had to do with the circumstances surrounding it.
