When and Where, First Cigar Story

I was 19.... took a trip with some buddies to Cancun, Mexico... I went down to the market area and haggled with some local to buy a box of Cohiba's (they were probably fakes), anyway, we got back to the hotel and sat out on the balcony watching the sunset on the water, smoking cohibas and drinking beer. It was a f'n blast and i've been hooked since!

Man, i need a vacation...
 
I was 17, and it was the second semester of my senior year in HS (1988). Me and a bunch of buddies were drinkin' beer at another guy's house. We were raidin' the fridge for stuff to BBQ (This dude's dad was loaded. He always had steaks in the fridge). We find some steaks, and in looking for the BBQ tongs in the garage, we found his dad's humi. We called Mike over, and he said, "sure, have one. My dad gets those all of the time."

So, we started smoking these sticks, (I don't remember the name, they were naked) and Mike was a pro. He said he and his dad had smoked cigars together since he was a freshman. Anyway, about 1 AM, his pop rolls in. We clean up the mess, throw on another steak for him and he begins to teach us how to smoke. "Draw slowly, do not inhale, hold the smoke, and exhale through your nose and mouth slowly to taste the tobacco."

Well, that was 16.5 years ago. Every once in a while I will stop by Mike's dad's place to drop off a few smokes and see if the old man is still kickin'. His wife won't let him smoke them at the house anymore so when we can, we'll pick him up and take him to the local sports bar. A very cool old man.

As for Mike, he and I hook up about once every 2 weeks for a beer and a stogie.

My first cigar I smoked when I came across A box of dry Nat Shermans At My Granmothers estate just after she passed away.Although dry it had A very good flavor and since than blah blah blah. By the way I still have some of the Nats and now that they Are in shape they have A great woodsy taste.
 
It was about five years ago when I was in college. Three of us lived in an apartment near campus and we had one empty room. For about six months one year we had a student from Germany living with us. We had others from time to time from countries like Saudi Arabia and Brazil. Anyway, the three of us could not stand that jacka$$ from Germany. He would eat bread and oranges while drinking wine almost everyday, not a problem but he would do this in the living room and would hide the orange peels, ends of the bread and the empty wine bottles under and behind the couch. I'm sure you get the idea so I won't go any further into the reasons we disliked him so much. When he moved out to return to Germany we decided to celebrate with a barbecue a couple of six packs and what the hell...a cigar. We went to the only cigar shop we knew of and by the recommendation of an employee we bought a couple of AF Hemingway classics. We enjoyed them and after that I would occasionally smoke (one or two a month) RyJs while shooting the **** with the fellas....

Now I'm a demented cigar fiend :D
 
I lost my cigar virginity at the tender age of 16. My buddy went to Mexico and brought back a Cuban. God help me I don't even remember the brand, hell, it could have been a fake. Four of us snuck out to a park at night and puffed on it until it was gone. It made me sick, but it was a good night.
