Urbino, nothing like starting out big time.. Dunhil is a fine line of cigars. And with your favorites being the Hemingway series, You are running out of steps up^^ The dunhil name thing may have worked out for you because you hit a proven winner first time out
Heh. Too true. The Dunhill cigar(s) I tried obviously didn't make a big impression on me, but didn't run me off, either. It was probably just a very solid, mild cigar.
The Hemingways . . . I definitely remember the first one of those I tried. I'd been smoking lots of different things, just looking for something I really liked. I'd kinda settled into the Butera and JDN lines, but not really. Then a couple of buddies and I visited our favorite smoke shop one day, and I tried a Classic while we were there. About 3 puffs in, I turned to my friends and said, "This is the best cigar I've ever had in my life." And that was all she wrote.
The bad thing is they can be hard to find.
Los Blancos Connecticut on the night of my 18th bday. It made me so dizzy I had to go to bed right after I smoked it. But that didn't stop me from making it my passion.
Hey High Roller, I have had the c-notes too and they do make for a flavorful quick smoke. Try some new cigars that you read about here or at your favorite tobacco shop and let the group know what you think. It's always good to read personal taste tests...

Every once in a while, I go buy a pouch of backwoods just for the memory and experience. Lol.
My first cigar didn’t actually have tobacco on the inside but was wrapped in cigar lol 😏. Black and mild was the first cigar with all tobacco components 😆.
Backwoods original. Stolen from my grandfather's ashtray. My cousin and I would smoke them in grandpa's barn. Hindsight being 20/20, not the smartest. 🤷🏽♂️
Something from a convenience store in a white plastic tube. Had a Spanish guys name. Not very good but I had nothing to compare it to. 30 years later a Trader Jack's that smoked like **** then perdomo fresco. From there it got better.
Trapped in the People's Communits Republic of Massachusetts.
I smoked gas station cigars for years. White Owl, Garcia Vegas, etc. I don’t remember the brand but my son bought me a man made cigar from college and the rest is history.
My first 12 cigars were backwoods. Smoked the whole pouch, inhaled every drag. Ran out of Newports at a New years party in 1998. Deployed to PSAB the next day and was Literally dying on the plane ride over. Couldn't breathe for a week....

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

Smoked a couple of hand rolled from Ybor City, years ago when I lived in Tampa. Then maybe a Brickhouse or two before I really took up the habit.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Swisher Sweet. I could hold the wood tip in-between my teeth while cranking my 1964 Honda 250 Scrambler.
It was less than a year-and-a-half ago. Perla del Mar.

Swisher outlaws. Revisited them years later for fun. Wasn't very fun.
