What Was Your First Box Purchased?
 
Tyr and I started talking about this in Earl's thread so I thought I would start a new thread so we didn't hijack his. I did a search and did not find a thread like this but please let me know mods if this has been done before.

Anyways, what was your first box purchased? This does not include bundle but you can mention that as well if you wish when you say your first box purchase. :tu

My first purchase was a box of Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Coronas when they first came out (I believe? As the owner told me they were new) in 2008. I went with them because they were having a sale and they come 27 to a box and I was a poor highschool student haha.

Padilla Signature 1932 Robusto. Love these things! I hear, often, so shut up already, that the Pepin blend is better but these do it for me.

This is the first FULL box I ever got. It was back in 1998 & I still have three sticks from it. I think I paid $214 back then not sure. -(P Back then I was smoking alot of 8-5-8's & these. Also had TONS of different singles that you dont see or can't find anymore.

This was my first box as well - purchased it about 4 years ago I guess.

I've purchased 2 more boxes of them since then. This one appears to be with me for the long haul :tu

Ordered from a source in Asia, I thought I was getting one box, but as a noob, I somehow ordered twice. Ended up keeping both boxes.

Sancho Panza Belicossa. Think it would have been maybe 2000 or 2001 time frame. Can't remember the dates of the boxes. I'm thinking they were late 1990's. Not a single one of them left, sad to say!

My first box purchase was a box of brocutas cigars(hope I spelled that right). Not the best but not the worst, I even have some of them left.

Can't remember exactly, but it was a box of habanos. It was either Quintero nacionales(none left) or boli pc's (kept a fiver).

Re: What Was Your First Box Purchased?
 
Dang I am surprised by how many of you went all out and bought premiums as your first box. :tu Nothing like diving in at the top haha. Keep them coming this is really interesting to read. Thanks fellas.

Well many people go out and buy samplers and singles of cigars before they buy boxes. My first real buy was Illusione 88 because I had a bought singles of them here and there and decided they were box worthy. I would be surprised if there were a majority who didnt buy premiums as their first box TBH.

Can't swing for a box right now, but I am thinking it might be Diesels, just can't decide which ones. I think they are my favorite smokes so far. (or NUB 460 Maduro)

My first box I got was a Christmas gift. It was a box of the Cabaiguans from Tatuaje.

The first box I personally bought were the Don Pepin Garcia Vegas Cubanas. Still have quite a few of them left too. I bought a bigger size in length than I usually smoke. So I save them for special times or when I want a longer smoke.

I am pretty sure that it was a box of El Original Toro Maduros.
https://keysshopping.securesites.com...-ELOToro25.jpg
Easily one of the top ten cigars in the entire world. Maybe even top five. No, definately in the top five. They'll knock your dick in the dirt, though. You'll have to man up for this one.
Stop in at the Island Smoke Shop and see Bill, too. There's no way you won't love him. He's as good a brother as a brother gets. :tu
