Fall of 99

Boobar · 10-16-2008, 05:17 PM

I started on Valentines Day 2007 when my then fiancee now my wife got me my first humidor and a sampler of cigars.

Sean9689 · 10-16-2008, 05:30 PM

Seriously got into it in June 2002. I started smoking Havana cigars exclusively around May 2003.

10-16-2008, 06:31 PM

Started on the good ones in '92.

10-16-2008, 06:34 PM

Funny someone asked me this just today and I describe it like this

Started Cigars on an occasional basis maybe 15 years ago.

On a somewhat less than regular but more than occasional 10 years ago

Semi regularly 5 years ago

Regulary 3 years ago

Passionately 2 years ago

Obsessively 1 year and counting

Started smoking regularly when a buddy and I took a trip to Okinawa. We stop every night at the local beer store and get some ORion and a couple of stogies to sit out side and enjoy. Been hooked ever since!!

since 99. didn't really put much thought into it. i use to just walk into a humi and grab whatever. it wasn't until i joined my first forum that i started going after better smokes.

Bruzee · 10-16-2008, 07:02 PM

Five years.... A buddy at work introduced me. And since then, its like a sno-ball rolling down hill.

White97Jimmy · 10-16-2008, 08:00 PM

On and off since around 97. I didn't get serious until 2006. That's when you guys all corrupted me.

stitch · 10-16-2008, 08:06 PM

I started sometime around 1970 or so ... That's about 37 or 38 years ago.

Pipes and cigars on an occasional basis since I guess around the mid-80's when I ditched cigarettes for good...cigars on a regular basis for close to eight years and pipes again for the last three or so...

Scottw · 10-16-2008, 08:43 PM

One here or there since I was 16.When my son was born in Sept 07, I had some leftover Montes that I didn;t give out.Sat outside one night and tried one.3 weeks later my new 100 count humidor that I bought the week before was stuffed. Someone greased my slope good.

Bubba - NJ · 10-16-2008, 08:57 PM

I started to dabble around 1993 and have gotten more serious every year . Then I found cigar forums on the internet around 2005 and it has just gotten crazy since then .

acruce · 10-16-2008, 08:58 PM

Little over 2 years

I started trying different cigars around 1996. It took me one or two years until I really got hooked, by a Cuban RyJ Cedros De Luxe No. 3 from 1994. My first real humidor was a gift from my whife in 2002.

ucubed · 10-17-2008, 12:10 AM

I started smoking like the way I am since earlier this year...I've had a couple here and there couple years past
