Fall of 99 :-)

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

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

Started on the good ones in '92.

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!!

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

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

I started sometime around 1970 or so ... That's about 37 or 38 years ago.
God doing the math makes my brain hurt ... and looking at the numbers makes my back ache.

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...

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.

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 .:-)

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.
