A little over a year now. Only in the past few months have I really started to build my stock up, in fact I have already begun to fill my first coolerador!

I remember what started the snowball effect. I went to Europe after graduating my apprenticeship as an Electrician and bought a box of Romeo y Julieta's. I don't remember which onces they exactly were.
That was about 2.5 years ago.

I have lost track of how long I have been smoking cigars but I do remember being in the cigar shop before my son was born and he is now almost 4. So I know it has been at least that long and maybe a little longer than that.

About 5 years now. I'm about two months shy of rounding my 1-year employment with the B&M too

Started in high school smoking a couple of swisher sweets wood tips, moved up (?) to El Producto Queens in college, had my first Fuente Hemingway in 1987. Been on and off mostly since then. Pretty much a summer smoker until the last couple of years, and getting quite serious about it in the last year.

I started smoking cigars about 4 months ago... before that I don't really consider what I was doing smoking cigars because they consisted mainly of the 7-11 specials.... dog rockets, and colts.... now I actually go to the local B&M and have started to sample some different cigars...... one that I smoked recently was a Thomas Hinds Maduro very smooth.....

Eh, off and on for 24 years. Used to smoke one to two a month, for the last three years I've been pretty much a daily smoker.

chippewastud79 · 12-11-2008, 04:21 PM

Hand made for about 8 years, good ones for about 3 years.

I got really into cigars after graduating high school. Took my humi to college and continued to smoke on occasion. In the past couple years, I've been smoking almost daily.

Boomer · 12-11-2008, 05:43 PM

I have smoked hecho a mano cigars for 20 years.

Duh, which would mean about 11 years.

CBI_2 · 12-11-2008, 06:10 PM

Have been smoking 2 years as of this month. Started with I believe a Black and Mild the night before my nephews wedding. I met up with numerous other family and friends at the mother and step-father of the grooms house. A number of the guys were smoking and Scott (TripleF) out of courtesy asked if I wanted one. i said yes on a whim and a WTF attitude I was having a lot around that time.

I think more than one jaw hit the ground. I enjoyed it so when Scott offered to get some smokes for the following nights reception, I said sure. He bought some Perdomo Lot 23's. I also enjoyed that but even more. It has been all down hill ever since.
