The first time I really appreciated a good cigar was 1994. Some friends and I drove to see Lollapalooza which was rained out. We ended up staying anyway, and went to get a couple cigars and libations to pass the time. I picked up a couple Partagas which I throughly enjoyed. I smoked the occasional cigar until about 5 months ago when I got a small humi to store a couple I had acquired. I discovered a very relaxing and enjoyable hobby that lets get a little time to myself on occasion. It also led me to discover great online cigar communities
