NC - When I was in my early 20's a friend of mine smoked nickel cigars. They were cheaper than cigarettes at the time. He gave me one to try and they were nasty.

CC - When I was in my late thirties I was working in Canada and found a B&M that sold Cubans. Purchased some RyJ's and fell in love with cigar smoking.

CC's - at 23, a MC "A" after a celebration dinner.
NC's - at 25, an Ashton VSG enchantment (the small chubby figurado) in vegas while playing, showed me there was much more out there then just CC's, had my first opus shortly after that.

NC - 19, House Blend Cigar at Stanza di Sigari in Boston.
CC - 22, Cohiba LE 2004 given to me by a friend in the wine room at Stanza di Sigari.

I guess its Stanza's fault I've gone down the slope and the Asylums fault I kept falling.

First NC was a Tiparillo picked up in a liquor store while heading to the beach with some friends to do some pier fishing. That was in 1969.

First "verified" CC would have been in the early nineties. A buddy's parents liked to vacation in Spain several times a year, and they always picked him up a box of Esplendidos in the duty free shop on their way home. We used to smoke 'em with a tumbler of Jack Daniels.

First hand rolled was from a Thompson bundle (given to me) in Oct. 2006.

NC, I am sure it was a Swisher Sweet sometime in my teens

CC was about 12-13 years ago in my late 30's...almost positive it was a Monte #4. I will never forget how good that was.
