    Fighting C.ock. (can't say *** on here apparently. I wonder if you can say ***? hmmm, guess not)
    I smoked those Fighting Chickens in the 90's I liked 'em a lot..... Bad name decent cigar.
    Yep, I smoked those in the early 90s, but those were pre-humidor days (i.e. pre-knowing a thing about cigars). I was in school at U. of South Carolina at the time, so Fighting C.ock was an obvious choice, especially for tailgating.
  • Grape Dutch Master. haha First "real" cigar i smoked was an Oliva, i forget exactly which one but it was like 4 years ago, it was really short. I bought a couple because my friends name is Oliva so it was funny, then I smoked it and kept picking them up occasionally.

    I am pretty sure mine was a pardon 64 or a macanudo that I hated

    An RyJ Dominican Churchill en Tubo, a Christmas gift from my wife. Delicious...and I never saw where it would lead (as I'm shopping for my second cooler).

    I'm nit sure what my first was, but the first two I remember (within a month of starting) was a Cohiba Extra Vigarosso (green gilled cuz I was new and dumb) and a Gurkha Legend preferido..., great intro to cigars to be sure!

    my first cigar was a Swisher with the sweetened wood tip. My first hand-rolled was an Indian Tabac Classic.

    My first one was some strange Hawaiian cigar called Hula Girl Mango that my friend gave to me back in AIT. My first real one was a MoW Virtue. Loved it and been hooked ever since. Next one was a Ruination. Spent an hour on the bed later because of strength.

    It's nice to see so many of you moved past the machine made drug store cigars to the Premium Level.

    Swisher, but my first real cigar Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur.

    My very first cigar was a machine made Garcia y Vega. My first real cigar was a RyJ tubo in the 90's

    I love it. Its got an interesting taste with the sweet maduro wrapper, but a great cigar all around for my tastes
    Yup, it is my fav cigar of all time even nudging out opus and camacho PE

    My first cigar was a machine made cigar from the gas station that was in a glass tube. I need the glass tube for my science project of a solar hot dog cooker and thought why waste the cigar. It was fantastic.

    I went to Cancun with my wife, brother, and his wife three years ago. While in the resort, we would all go have dinner and sit outside drinking and having a blast. There was a guy rolling his own cigars in this little stand right next to where we would sit and drink. My brother bought me my first hand rolled vinilla dipped cigar in a corona size. We sat under the stars with endless drinks in one hand, and a pretty good stick in the other......was a great week.

    Swisher Sweets. Really got into them in my early 20's then didn't touch one again till about a year ago I was buying a bottle of scotch and thought I'd like to try a cigar ( it looked so cool in the movies) it was a Punch.

    Punch, that is a Cigar that has remained consistent through out the years. I think that was my second Cigar tried and I have always been a fan of Punch. I can see why you became a BOTL.

    What's strange though is that I haven't had one since and I really liked that cigar. One of these days I'll have to get some.
