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.

I was 13. We had a Boy Scout campout. We commandeered a pack of Backwoods. We are all standing there, Bream fishing, stogies in mouth. I gulped down a heaping helping of smoke and cigar spit at the same time. Next thing I remember is the taste of lake water. I had to wash it down with something.

My first real cigar was actually before that. My Paw-Paw let me smoke a Henry Clay with him. I think I was around 8. I thought I was the shiznit.
