    they always have sold backwoods. i guess even the cheap cigar smoker is looking for an online outlet.

    Black n Mild's were my smoke of choice in High School. Especially when I would ditch my study halls in the morning to go snook fishing. Good times.

    I believe the first cigar I ever tried to smoke was called a Parodi...I think that is how its spelled. It looked like something Clint Eastwood would smoke in one of his western ponchos...it was definitely an ugly stick. Crooked and all knotted up.

    Ahh, the memories of machine made cigars. I used to smoke Phillies Blunts...well, the wrapper anyway.

    I started out on machine mades, mostly White Owls and Garcia Vegas. When my younger son went to college, he came back with some man mades one weekend about two years ago and the rest is history. I'm poorer, but happier!

    Nasty Ace Dutch Masters... That's what I started on... took me a LONG while to come back to cigars after High School

    Black and Milds I don't think I could do again... But I did smoke them quite a bit... But backwoods, with the sickly sweet and mushy cigar from the pouch... I kinda get nostalgic for them once and awhile, NEVER act on it, but kinda crave them once and awhile

    I remember in high school smoking a few 5 packs of Hava-Tampa Jewels, the ones with the sweetened wooden tips, lol.

    I guess I am the outlier, I started smoking VS Sungrown and Acid Kuba Kuba, Blondie and Cold Infusion Tea, I then had a Dutch Masters from my gramps and smoked 3 puffs before I stomped it out I remember it was bitter and acrid.
    I finally left flavored cigars after about 3 months and never looked back.

    My future father-in-law buys non-banded machine-made cherry flavored coronas...
    I try not to make him feel bad, but I either have to bring him some of my smokes (to every function whether large or small) or have to smoke one of them with him...

    One of my Scoutmasters smoked those.... we used to call them Grody Parodis.... always argued about whether they smelled worse lit or unlit. Always think of Jack when I see them, he passed away a few weeks ago.
