What was your first cigar?

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 !

Honestly it was probably a Muriel Air Tip
My dad wad a piper and occasionally smoked the odd cigar but always with a tip so that's what I could "borrow" back when I was a young lad.
Buying my own would have been some Garcia Y Vega from the gas station and eventually I hit the big time to Macanudo.

Neat thread Jesse

Thanks guys. I used the think the dried out Macs were awesome. Once I went to a b&m and had someone show me how to properly smoke a cigar, it was all over man. I spent every free cent trying everything that b&m had in stock.

It's always good to keep in mind that we bag on Dog Rockets now, but most of us wouldn't be here without them. Not referring to Uncle Dogrockets, but the cheap cigars.
