Here is what the line looks like. They are all figurado shaped.

Can't wait for a real picture though. They are always better. :tu

thanks Tyler. They always do look better in person. Maybe you'll get to find out just what these ones look like.:sl:sl

Congrats. I remember when I got my first box. Enjoy the slope.

Fordman4ever 07-31-2011 07:34 PM

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
this slope will have to start off slow. I just bought a house and this was a pretty cheap box. I'm pretty sure the slope will grow ever steeper soon though.

How are those smoking? Ive seen them quite a bit on here..

Fordman4ever 07-31-2011 07:59 PM

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
I'll let you know as soon as I get them.

Anyone else smoked these lately?

thebayratt 07-31-2011 08:59 PM

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
I've eyed these up myself. Don't seem like a bad price if they are good.

Anyone ever have them?? (bump)

Fordman4ever 07-31-2011 09:18 PM

about to go to bed bump

Anybody smoked these recently?

Haha I don't think so. I am curious of others opinions on them though as I almost bought a box myself. They look tasty but looks can be deceiving. I have heard good things though.

This. I forgot to make a comment in my post above but, as others have said, welcome to the slippery slope. It all starts the same. A brother buys a box and then says that it won't become a problem. Box arrives and it is like Christmas all over again. Brother says no more boxes. A week later the same brother is ordering another box "just to have some to age" or "just to make sure I have enough". Then begins the spiral out of control. :tu

Spirals are good. Have you seen the new Miller Lite bottle?

Oh, wait, that's a vortex. Never mind.

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
Congrats on the box purchase! As for the 1844's i picked up a 10 pack a few weeks ago. i forget what size. I like them. they start off mild/med and ramp up pretty good toward the end. For the price they are great and i have had no construction issues yet. i gave one to a buddy of mine who likes milder cigars and he really loved it up until the strength kicked in in the last
3rd and he started to sweat and turn a little green lol. As far as i can tell these are also AJ Fernandez sticks. I cant confirm that for sure but one of the 1844's was in a sampler containing nothing but his cigars on CI.

Thats my next step, to buy a box. Gotta smoke my supply down or upgrade my Humi first though. (Or both)

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
First boxes are always the best. I remember mine like it was yesterday. The one you get as a gift is right up there, too!!

Fordman4ever 08-01-2011 07:38 PM

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
I will always remember this box. I have yet to receive a box as a gift, but i can tell you that who ever sends me my first gift box will remember the hell that I unleash upon them as a return fire.

Congrats! Revisit this thread one year from now, and see how you are doing then. :)

A year from now I hope to have a Waxing Moon humidor big enough to hold some boxes and a LOT of singles.










one can dream.

:noon CONGRATZ!!! :noon

I remember my first full box. They were ARTURO FUENTES HEMINGWAY SIGNATURE back in 1998. This is your first big step toward that fork in the road where you will come face-2-face with two options:

Option one: CABINET???

Option two: KOOLER???

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
I am having a hard time commiting to a whole box of one cigar. I have purchased a couple sampler tins of ten, one from MOW and the other was Diesel. I think I would be happy with a box of Nub 460 Maduros but there are so many others out there I haven't tried yet.

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
Beware the dreaded ODO. For you noobs, that's "Order Disorder". At some point you will have more cigars than you can possibly smoke, but the deal is just soooo good you have to get a couple more boxes. That is what lies at the bottom of the aforesaid slippery slope. :r

I had to pass up a couple of good deals on Cigar Monster because it's not payday yet. It's killing me. I might even have to wait until we go to Austin on Sunday.

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
I don't have the urge to stock up on NC's. They are rather hit or miss for aging. CC's, on the other hand... I am to the point where I am thinking it's best to buy 2 boxes of a cigar. One to test, and one to age... :D

My first box was Boli PC's IIRC.

I am almost ashamed to admit it but my first box purchase was Don Diego Playboy's back when I was 18 :lr

Those? That is because you are a playboy Tyr :tu

My first box was Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Coronas. I will have to search and see if there is a thread for first box purchased (probably is) if not we should make one as this is interesting.

I found my first box of Playboys buried under some of my dad's stuff in the garage; they looked better than Tyr's!

Wait, what was this thread about again?

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
I remember my first box (montecristo afrique sublimation) It's funny, you start off by buying 5 packs or winning a cbid auction and then you order your first box and it feels like christmas, but it's only a UPS box. That feeling of getting your first box never goes away and then one day you recieve a secret "contact" from a botl at a herf or a message here and the next thing you know is you're ordering your first box from a forbidden place and it all starts over again for you. This is a dark path my friend, but also one of the best decisions you'll ever make. Good luck with your new addiction. :ss

Fordman4ever 08-03-2011 05:19 PM

Re: Just bought my first box of cigars
 
I haven't received that "message" yet, which is probably a good thing. I don't think I can afford the slide down that slope. Wish I could though.
