My First Cigar

[Don Fernando]

I was 12 when I lit my first cigar, a Dutch dry cigar, used it to light fireworks.

The first cigar of my 'cigar career' was a Cohiba siglo II or an MC#3 on a vacation to Indonesia. Sitting on the porch, watching a tropical rain pour down while sipping on a nice glass of Glenfiddich 15yo Solana reserve.

My first good cigar was an Onyx Reserve Robusto and I still occasionally partake in one.

The first mini mart cigar that I had was a Backwoods and at the time it was pretty good.

AF Short Story. Still one of my favorite smoke to this day.

I've smoked cigars for a couple of years off and on before I really smoked my first.

10 November 2003 - Marine Corps Birthday:
A wise old 1st Sgt. took a young Lance Corporal under his wing and gave me a an old Montecristo. For that hour or so while I smoked with him, he told me about the Corps back in the day when he was a Lance Corporal. Since then I've been hooked and to this day I still have the band from that cigar.

My first cigar two and a half years ago at senior beach week. I smoked in succession of nights a Grape White Owl, a Cherry White Owl, and then a Zino Platinum. ALl of them had been given to my by friends. I smoked half of the Zino and decided that I'd smoke the other half at home. Two weeks later, with the halfway torched Zino still sitting in my car in a ziploc bag, I took it out and tried to smoke it. Naturally, it was awful. Tasted like feet and ash.

However, my high-school girlfriend's dad is a distributor for Altadis. Needless to say when he found out I had smoked cigars he hooked me up with a humidor full of Montes, Romeos, Trinidads, etc. It was awesome. A Trinidad Maduro is what hooked me. It was so creamy and delicious... I want to smoke another one.

You have a special smoke stashed away for this Monday? I think I'll be having an Oliva Serie V Maduro among other things at our Cake Cutting Ceremony. Should be a good time. I'm looking forward to getting some of the younger guys to smoke their first.

No nothing planned for as of yet. We've got our cake cutting ceremony on Friday and our ball on Friday night. I'll have to stop by at the b&m and pick up something good.
