No kidding? Wow.
While I didn't smoke machine mades prior, the first cigar that wowed me was a La Aroma de Cuba Corona.

Illusione ~88~!!!:tu

The first one that really wowed me was a Padron Anniversary 64 Maduro Torpedo. I had been smoking Montesino Sun-Grown Robusto. My wife went into the B&M that had been leading me down the slippery slope and said she wanted to buy something special for my birthday. He asked her "What year was he born?" Her answer "1964" It was all downhill from there! That was my first "wow" smoke. For me, it was like breathing in the smell of chocolate cake baking in the oven. It's still one of my favorite smokes.

I lurked for a little bit at the old place before even making my first purchase, I went into the B&M armed with a list of suggestions, and came out with an Onyx Reserve, RP Vintage '90, and an RyJ tubo. All were decent smokes, and the '90 remains one of my favorite RP sticks.
The first cigar that really made me sit up and take notice was a Bucanero Full Sail Maddie that I got in the NST, followed shortly after by a Kristoff Maddie at my first herf. :ss

After a ~4 year absence from cigars, it was an EO Murcielago. I still enjoy it on occasion.

I still recall smoking a 1996 FFOX Double Corona that really turned me onto cigars. It was a great 2+ hour experience.

It was a Romeo Y Julieta on top of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis the night before the 2001 Alabama v. Ole Miss game

Monte No. 2; before that it was just moderate interest in cigars...after that the insanity began. :tu

Indian Tabac Super Feurte. Which I still smoke occasionally now. I am not entirely sure the blend is the same but they are inexpensive and still a good value with great flavor. I remember smoking it and thinking "hmmmm I didn't know I could get flavors like that out of a cigar."

Re: First cigar to light your fire?
 

The cigars that got me started were Macanudo Ascots. The Macs led me to the ISOM's and I haven't looked back. Don't smoke many NC cigars anymore, but the slope is still as slippery.

RP 92 for me
