My first Non Cuban, the ashton VSG envchantments, picked some up at a shop in caesars palace (not casa fuente) and I was hooked. Prior to that I had only smoked Cuban cigars.

I was hooked by Onyx Reserve. It's a cheapie, but I still love to smoke them from time to time. They just have a rich flavor that I enjoy.

The one that hooked me was not about the cigar at all. I smoked some fake (thought they were real at the time) Cuban Montecristo and enjoyed the camaraderie of smoking them with friends that I decided I wanted to look more into the hobby. Not sure where I went from there, but it was all downhill and fast!

Mac Vintage #2. Got a box of 5 for about $30 back in 1990.

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.
