I am not sure, but I think it was either a RP Edge or a NC Montecristo white label. More than likely it was the Edge.

First ever was a little GyV in a plastic tubo with a cork. Angry, hot, nasty POS. First real smoke that turned me down this road? A Victor Sinclair Bohemian, the red corojo one. Still want to find a couple of those to re-visit.
EDIT: I'll see your first, and raise you a head-knocker. My first head-knocker was a La Gloria Cubana Serie R maduro. Turned me 3 shades of green, but I LOVE them now
A wee willem! First large format cigar was a Henry Wintermans corona de luxe. First real cigar was a RyJ no1 tubos, which promptly made me green with nicotine poisoning!
Yep, same for me! As underage teenagers we would scour for stores that would sell to us. The only store that would do it was a whole in the wall place who's most exotic sounding cigar to our young minds was Garcia Y Vega. Good times!Quote:

He sold me an Alec Bradley harvest select 97. I was not sure if I had enjoyed it or not. The whole idea of breathe in smoke but not inhale it was hard for me to grasp for a bit. Now I realize most Alec Bradleys are just no my thing flavor profile wise. Now the Ave Maria and Punshier those hit the spot.
Mine was a pack of Backwoods. We used to get them for fishing trips. Looked just like Clint Eastwood's cigars in his westerns.
For me, like others, was the occasional Macanudo with some buddies during college and after. Nothing serious, 4-6 per year probably, just goofing around.
Then a buddy of mine was coming over to pick something up from my house that he was buying from me, probably 2010ish. The purchase price was a bottle of Maker's Mark. He also brought over 2 cigars for us to smoke with it. Alec Bradley Maxx. Life has never been the same since. That AB Maxx blew me away and I had to have more. I had bought a box of them and a wood humidor within the next month.
Now, all these years later, I still love the Maxx and always have it on hand in the now 5 foot tall wineador. A great smoke, great memory, and great thread @jhedrick83 !
