For me...

14 - (NC) Dutch Masters from my Grampa's Liquor Store (49er Bottle Shop)

20 - (CC) Monte #2 after returning home from Desert Storm

Who are you kidding tobii... You couldnt have answered it even if it was "what Year" That was before numbers were invented or even record of time!!

Good to hear all your first experiences. I wouldnt have guessed that many of you started cigars later in life as you had. to all of you that started in the 30s and 40s, did you smoke cigarettes before that? did cigars replace them or do you smoke both now?

Well my first cigar would have to be a swisher sweet or Havatampa in my teens. At about 21 I had a Jose Piedra CC and a small Punch the same day (don't remember which was first) in Canada. My first nc was probably a Macanudo Portafino around the same time.

I smoked cigarettes as a dumb teenager who wanted to fit in. In college I couldn't afford them hence smoking Swisher cigarellos. I rarely smoked them at all after a few years until given a Macanudo Robusto.
