Your first cigar

MedicCook · 02-02-2009, 09:25 PM

My love/addiction began in February 2006. I was at work and my ex did something to severly piss me off and it resulted in me slamming my cell phone down on the coffee table. On the bounce it hit the ceiling it multiple pieces. My partner on the Ambulance advised me I needed to find a stress reliever and fast. We then went down to Smokin' Sam's on Caroline Street in Saratoga Springs and he bought me my first cigar which was a Fonseca. I have been addicted ever since.

My first Cigar was on the golf course about 10 years ago. I was golfing with a good friend and his uncle. Uncle D brought some AVO Maduros (I think they were AVO Maduros

)and we all smoked one as we played the round.

I smoked a cigar here and there for the next few years, and then about three years ago I stoped by the local shop and picked up a Padron 2000 maduro and I have never looked back. I started out slow, and then I found the old board and went head first down the slope.

I think this is the best hobby I have ever started. I have met so many good friends and had more great times with a diverse crowd than I ever thought was possible. When I told my wife I was going to a herf she almost fainted, because I am the last person who wants to gather with crowds, but there is just something about cigars that draws people together.

my first cigar was probably a black and mild or a backwoods or something along those lines. my first premium cigar was a cumbres de puriscal

my grandpa had purchased it as a gift for a friend. but the friend passed before he got it to him. so he gave it to me. So gramps, this is all your fault

March 1967. Hard to remember the brand but a machine made packed in a sundries box and dumped out of a chopper on re-supply while on an extened vacation with the 101st in Vietnam.
