I started sometime around 1970 or so ... That's about 37 or 38 years ago.
God doing the math makes my brain hurt ... and looking at the numbers makes my back ache.

Pipes and cigars on an occasional basis since I guess around the mid-80's when I ditched cigarettes for good...cigars on a regular basis for close to eight years and pipes again for the last three or so...

I started trying different cigars around 1996. It took me one or two years until I really got hooked, by a Cuban RyJ Cedros De Luxe No. 3 from 1994. My first real humidor was a gift from my whife in 2002.

ucubed · 10-16-2008, 11:10 PM

I started smoking like the way I am since earlier this year...I've had a couple here and there couple years past

10-16-2008, 11:18 PM

I am well into my 40th year of cigar smoking and loving every single one of them.

Started in high scool ('93ish) but didn't get serious until '05/'06.

acruce · 10-16-2008, 07:58 PM

Little over 2 years

King James · 10-16-2008, 08:01 PM

pearson · 10-16-2008, 08:04 PM

about a year now. i started with a 20 humi then a 100 and filled those so quick i got a vino during the great target sale of June.

Cenookie · 10-16-2008, 09:37 PM

About a year and a half seriously, before that 2 or 3 a year.

sjnovakovich · 10-17-2008, 11:02 AM

1972 (maybe it was '71). So long ago I barely remember.

SteelCityBoy · 10-02-2011, 02:53 PM

Not counting the black n milds I smoked in high school (cause I thought it was cool!) off and on probably since 2001. A buddy of mine loved AF hemingway's so he would always offer me one when I would be over his spot. I didn't appreciate it at the time but smoked anyway. I might have smoked 12 a year back then, now it is like 12 a week.

irratebass · 10-03-2011, 03:38 AM

Started in 2006 or 2007, but didn't get serious about it till this year.

Jasonw560 · 10-03-2011, 06:37 AM

Since 1987. Dutch Masters and Swisher Sweets to LGC and Fuente Hemingways. When I got married (this time), slowed down to about twice a month for 8 years (finances). Now back to once a week. Sometimes twice.

Blak Smyth · 10-03-2011, 07:07 AM

I smoked many crap sticks when I was growing up, Swishers, Backwoods, etc...
I also used to smoke BeeDees.
I started grabbing red dot cohibas on occasion over the last couple years with friends for special occasions, like my wedding or cabin trips.
I only consider myself a serious cigar smoker since the beginning of June, so I am still a huge newb. I do feel like I have progressed extremely fast due to all the BOTL here at CA. I can blame all of you for throwing snowballs at me as I stood on the tip of the slippery icy slope looking down.
Also I gotta blame my neighbors and good BOTL who showed me their humidors and inspired me to make this a full time hobby. Two of them have recently joined CA!!!
Thanks everybody, I plan to be here at CA forever! I am commited and insane!

CigarSquid · 10-03-2011, 07:34 AM

I have had 3-4 cigars in my lifetime until January this year. Now, I've hit the slope and continue to slide! FUN

10-03-2011, 08:28 AM

I've had about a dozen cigars in my life, and I've been "smoking" for about 4 weeks now. LOL

kelmac07 · 10-03-2011, 08:59 AM

Seriously enjoying the hobby...in three years now. No turning back now.
