How long did you smoke acids?

It happened at the beach.

Oddly enough, I smoked my first cigar at the beach as well. It was a Tiparillo with a wooden tip. Around 1970.

Swisher perfecto I swiped from the step-dad's box at 12 or 13.
Swisher tips after giving up cigarettes in '86.
First B&M purchase was a Macanudo.
Come to Jesus moment with a Parti short shortly after finding this place.

First cigar - El Producto Presidente. It was from Ray Nitschke's box of cigars in his golf bag.

First cigar to convert me to smoking decent cigars? 1980, Arturo Fuente Rothschild.

The first cigar I smoked many years ago when you could smoke in a public area was a Macanudo Portofino Tubo. I was staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Chicago for a few days with my (then) boss for a trade show. We ended a long day with a nice dinner and a stop the hotel bar that also sold cigars for an after dinner cocktail where he introduced me to my first cigar paired with some Grand Mariner. The rest as they say is history.

1997 - 1st was a Tinderbox label cigar at a bachelor party two weeks before I smoked my first "real" cigar. Received an Ashton Magnum for being the best man in sad wedding....hooked forever.

Do you remember the cigar? Also, have you tried The Grand Mariner cigars?
[Reply]

I'm gonna guess a Macanudo Portofino Tubo.

First ever was some kind of "It's a ..." I think.
I think I smoked some Tiparillos I stole from someone's dad at an early age.
First real cigar was a Macanudo or maybe some kind of Fuente. Liquor store cigars.
Hard to remember, easy to forget.
First Cuban was some kind of Monte, toro sized. Before the internet.

My first cigar was a Macanudo something-or-another. I remember smoking it in the parking lot right after I'd bought it. I was laid up in the parking for an hour or so after smoking it before I was ok to drive home. I faintly remember laying on the ground next to my truck waiting for the crappy feeling inside of me to go away. :-) <- Like that but more nauseated.

First cigar that really pique'd my interest was either the Tatuaje Verocru No. 1 Lado Occidental or a Davidoff Short Perfecto. I can't remember which one I smoked first.

I believe it was a Monte #2. Probably why I still enjoy these as my "Victory Cigar" after a great fishing trip or other awesome time away from the "real" world.

My very first was a Hoyo de Monterrey (exact type I cannot remember at the moment) back in 1995 to celebrate my graduation from college along with a Glenlivet 12.

While I've expanded my repertoire of sticks, my preference is now the Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Dark Knight I. But I am also finding myself becoming very interested in the Bonita Premium Estate 18th Anniversary as well. Both go nicely with either a Balvenie 15 or 18. :-)

Dark Knights are tasty

First would have been a Black and Mild plastic tip. Smoked the wood tips for a few years and alternated between wine and original. Around 13 months ago while in Miami my fiance bought me a MC Platinum Robusto. I have not looked back yet.
