What was your first box?

07-01-2010, 10:12 PM

1st NC: Cain Habano 550's it was the first time I had the money to buy more than 4-6 at a time (was makin payments on a rifle) and I had just finished buying a couple when the clerk at my usual B&M store told me about the Cain event the next day and gave me a flier. Well, since I had been following Drew Estate on Facebook, since it was the only company I had heard on the internet and was fairly new to cigars, I always heard about how awesome cigar events were. I wound up going without the intention to buy anything, I just wanted to see Sam Leccia roll cigars and maybe buy a few, but then I saw my kryptonite, free merchandise (with purchase)! I instantly bought the cheapest box of cain cigars in Habano (admittedly, the sole reason being it had habano in the name) and the rest it history. I still have the cigar Sam rolled (or put the wrapper on, rather, but who knows if he did the rest earlier, so whatever) and I think it may be a cain F in the 660 size (aka a long Nub cigar) but I won't know until I see a few more years go by

As for CC, I don't even know how, and its a little like fight club trying to get those things!
my uncle smokes them often and he said he'll be sending a box of Iraqi cigars or something like that, I was informed of this through the family grapevine, but he did say if you like ISOMs, you'll like em.

My first box was also my first humidor

30 Hupmann Vintage Cameroon Belicosos in 3 removable cedar trays. It was my only humidor for about 3 years. I still store it in my cabinet and use it for singles

My first CC box was a 50cab of RASS
