What was your first?
 
Pretty simple. What was your first cigar?

My first was an H. Upmann toro in tube.

Grenadier robusto (machine made) in the mid '80s.

something really horrible that caused me not to try one again for years.
Moment of conversion was a Padron (forget which one) many years later

Philly or is it Phillie Blunt. It coincided with my first "jungle juice" which coincided with the first couple of times l threw up out of moving car.

Conversion stick--can't remember but I was fond of Royal Jamacians and Sosa torpedos. I had a cuban H Upmann tubo early in my storied cigar career that was pretty much wasted on my inexperienced palate.

Fairly it certain it was a Swisher Sweet I picked up for Gar Night at my dorm in early 80's. Hard to believe, but we smoked in the lounge on every other floor back then. Mornings after Gar-Nights were some of the worst.

I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it was a Macanudo of some kind.

Swisher Sweet.

First "real" cigar was a Camacho IIRC.

Re: What was your first?
 
The first several cigars I had were unbanded, so I don't know what they were. The first one I bought was a Macanudo Portofino.

I'm pretty sure it was a Romeo Y Julieta 1875, but it could have also been a Macanudo Hyde Park

First cigar would be a black and mild plastic tip, wine flavor. I threw up shortly thereafter, but I suspect it had something to do with the Popov vodka I was drinking after prom and not the cigar....I haven't drank vodka since and still get nauseous when I smell black and milds...

First actual cigar would be a Nica Libre toro. Smoked lots of Nica Libres back in the day! Now, I can't get near them.

I cant remember what I smoked yesterday! :bh

Just out of high school we used to smoke Black and Mild's while playing poker.

A Hemingway Classic. 4 years later I still blame(read: thank) George for getting me started on this wild ride. He even got me to appreciate Padrons with my third ever cigar the bastid :r
