Your first cigar

It was Back in High School or Late Junior High, but it was a SwisherSweet. Does that count as a Cigar ?

For Valentines day 2007 my wife got me my first humidor and a 3-pack of La Flor de Ynclan Churchills. It has been a downhill slide ever since.

Absolutely no idea.

Edit: Does that make me weird?

My first cigar was at a big party after my high school graduation...some buddy of mine had one and when he got to drunk to finish it I took it off of his hands

the rest is history

Interesting story. I was in England studying for my doctrate at Oxford. I was at a friend of mine's house which happened to be C S lewis's house formerly. He didn't own it just stayed in a portion of it. We decided to go down to the pub for a pint. Anyway while I'm sitting there enjoying a brew I see prince Charles walk in. This is back when he and Di had just recently separated. I figure what the hell. I go up and ask him how he's getting on. Anyway we shoot the breeze for a while and he breaks out a couple of Gurkha his majesties reserves. You know the 750 dollar things. I can't say no to that. Anyway. I'm hooked. True story except I was here in the states and my friend Josh have me a Gurkha grand reserve. The rest of it is crap.

I bought a handful of good cigars with all the gifted cash I received from family after high school graduation. I don't recall the specific cigars but they were all pretty expensive name brands (this was 1997 though)

That summer I didn't have a care in the world. no job, no girlfriend, and plenty of money to just f*ck off basically. I remember several nights sitting on the backyard patio, alone with my thoughts, having a few beers and a cigar thinking, it can't get better than this. good times

It was a loooong time ago, when I was about 15. I was out one night with some friends and somebody passed some cigars around. I have no idea what it was, but it probably came from a gas station. It made me sick, wishing I could puke but couldn't. It was a few decades before I got up the nerve to do that again. When I did, my first was either a RyJ 8-5-8 or a Punch Elite. That time it took, and down the slope I went.

My first was a Thompson's name brand!!! It was after the birth of a friend's first child. He passed me a cigar and I have been hooked ever since (not on Thompsons) on cigars!!!
