Had my first cigar experience the summer of 1989. Went looking for some of the cheroots that Clint Eastwood smoked in all those spaghetti westerns. Picked up some Toscani De Nobili cheroots and a few other cigars. One was a Fuente 858 Maduro. That cigar did it for me. Its still the cigar I compare all others to.

My progression to better quality handmade cigars took over thirty years! I believe that my first may have been ayc or dutch masters. My first handmade may have been when I was 35,and my first really good one was maybe eight years of so later. I guess that my progression away from machine made to bundles to premiums took twenty years or so. But last week I smoked a black jack that may have been.older than my white whiskers.

A long, long time ago, someone here reported that his epiphany was a backwoods. He'd smoked a few swisher sweets with the paper wrapper and disgusting sugared head. When he smoked the all natural tobacco backwoods he had it started.

I remember playing cards and smoking Swisher Sweets and thinking I was a real man. A few years later I had a HDM. That was an experience but it didn't make me a cigar smoker.
