Let me introduce myself. I’m a new kid when it comes to cigars for the second time around.
I first started smoking cigars when I was an 18 year old Marine in Vietnam. I have no idea what brand I smoked, whenever we get resupplied by helicopter a lot of the crews had cigars they sold us for like a buck a cigar and that was pretty expensive in 1966, Some of them sold Jim Beam for $10a bottle and I used a Zippo fueled it with kerosene to torch the cigars.
During the TET offensive in early 1968 our unit was overrun and I was hit, I spent the next 27 months in the Hospital. They didn’t allow cigars, but the Red Cross kept us supplies with cigarettes which I smoked until 1986 and I then just quit.
About 3 or 4 months ago I decided to give cigars a shot again. As I start down this path, you-all better be prepared for lots of questions from this recycled new kid.
Welcome aboard @SgtDon2531. There’s all kinds of good information to be found here with just a little looking. We also do a zoom herf pretty much every night. There’s a thread with the info if you’re ever interested.
There’s also at least one Marine here that chewed the same mud. @First_Warrior
Semper Fi, Don. I served as a grunt in 1967 with the Walking Dead Bn of the 9th Marines. I was hit also and spent most of a year in the hospital. Bunch of good guys on this site. Glad to have another Jarhead.

Welcome, Don.
Kerosene probably improved the flavor of some of the sticks sold back in the 60's.
Welcome new guys.
