What cigar hooked you?

La Gloria Cubana Wavell Maduro made in Miami, FL before CA discovered them.
I had smoked a few before, but this cigar grabbed me like no other and still does.

Padron 3000 M was the first cigar to really grab my attention.

First time hooked: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Churchill. First time I spent more than $1.00 on a cigar.

I took some time off and the 2nd time hooked: La Gloria Cubana Series R No.7

It was this exact moment...Carlos Torano. This is the moment that led me to CS to find out more about this cigar, the rest is history

Admittedly the first cigars I smoked frequently were Macundo crystal tubos, but the one that hooked me and changed my direction was the original Oliva "O" with the band made out of material. It may have been all of the hype at the time they were introduced, but I really liked them. I still have a lot of them as well. Maybe it is time to smoke one again and see how I feel about them now.

You know, the 8-5-8 hooked me but the LGC Wavell definately set the hook! I smoked the LGC line almost exclusively for several years.
