What cigar hooked you?

A Bolivar Royal Corona smoked in Nassau....it was all downhill from there.

My first real cigar was last July -- a Oliva Serie G robusto. It was good, and opened me up to cigars as being something I might enjoy.
Then a friend who has been smoking cigars for years gave me a La Aurora 1903 Platinum. Holy crap that was a good cigar. That's the best I've had to date and the one that started me down this slope.

It was my first cigar since the Swisher Sweets at tent camp outs in Jr. high--A DR Cohiba sitting at Corona Cigar in Orlando on September 8, 2006. I remember thinking: I will never be the same

I had smoked a few cigars here and there, probably while drinking. Then, back in 2000, my wife and I went to a Sandals resort and I smoked some cubans

and loved them. After I got home I went to the local B&M and tried some Padron x000 and the rest is history.

I never picked up any White Owls or Swishers, so lucky I still continue to smoke cigars. The first cigar that I had was an old fabric red banded Oliva 'O' Oasis.

I still have one of my originals left. Yummy!
