About 3 1/2 years here. I never appreciated cigars until after I quit cigs.

I started this summer. Enjoying the hell out of it. Half the time I have no idea what you guys are on about though, but I'm working on it.

I've smoked the occasional cigar for years, but really got into them this summer after I injured my wrist. I've been a long time pipe smoker, but had a hard time working the lighter with my injured wrist in a cast, and of course pipes need to be re-lit several times per bowl. So I got some cigars to smoke since they only need to be lit once. I really enjoyed them and now am hooked.

I started back in 1990 with Phillies Sweets on the softball field. Then I was waslking through the mall around Christmastime and happened to walk into Mr. Pipe. They guy sold me a box of 5 Macanudo Vintage #2 to try and I was hooked.

First cigar was back in the late 70's. But didn't really start smoking cigars until late 80's early 90's.

Got into cigars a bit during the early - mid 90's. Took a hiatus around the turn of the century, and started up seriosuly again in 2006.

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
