What was your first cigar?
- Thread starter God
- Start date
My first cigar was 40 years ago when I was 11. On a trip from Ohio to Florida before I 75 existed there used to be many, many souvenir and gift shops all along the road, most run by Cherokee indians. At one of these roadside shops they had a 12 inch long and about 128 ring gauge cigar I just had to have. My dad finally allowed me to buy it after begging incessantly. That bad boy was way too dry, but I fired it up. Tasted not too horrible for the first inch but then suddenly turned into the worst :BS I have ever tasted. My Dad tried a puff or two at this point and about gagged. We tore that cigar apart and found tobacco on each end for the first inch. The entire rest of the cigar was filled with sawdust. No wonder it tasted so bad. I will never forget that first cigar.
I'm thinking that I should have split this poll...
One for guys who have been smoking for over 5 years (or possibly older than 30) and another for everyone who has been smoking for less than 5 years (or younger than 30). I'm just guessing that for most of us "old guys" it would be one of the first option and for the younger guys more chance it was a either a hand made domestic or Cuban...

By domestic I take it you mean any Non Cuban? Well my first memorable cigar was of Dominican descent. Beyond that I never knew more except that it was Strong! I asked for it that way. I bought it at a Tobacconist on 53rd St. under the train stop. I don't think he is still there unfortunately.

Mine too. Which one makes a cigar called "itsaboy"?
I know it's been longer that 30, my oldest is thirty.
When I was about 13 my friend and I stole two cigars from a box in his dad's study. I can't remember the brand. It was disgusting!
Years later we confessed, his dad told us no wonder they were gross, he had them sitting on the shelf unhumidified since he had graduated from medical school nearly twenty years earliar.
u Yuck.
