davidsan Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 My first was a R&J Petit Corona about 4 years ago, lit it up in the smoking area out the back of club near my work. Got more than a few looks! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isa Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 A monte 2 i suppose, what i remember is that i found it pretty strong - had very little clue about flavours then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csandbothe Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Mine was an aged Cohiba Esplendidos that my neighbor gave me for helping him w/ his speakers. Little did I know, they weighed about 200lb each! Well worth it in the end however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMJoe Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 A lovely CoRo only three months ago started me on my financial decline. I have smoked NCs for over 20 years, but only recently found the light (or the dark, as the case may be). I will never look back... ...and I so enjoy this community that Rob and crew have put together for us! I recently said in another post that I have learned more about cigars on this site in the past three months than I did in the preceding 20 years.

James4226c Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 PLPC August 2010 My cousin was leaving for his first tour to Afghanistan we had it at a beach parking lot where a bunch of Lowriders were congregating, getting ready for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacktarnold Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It was a Cohiba Siglo II on my honeymoon. Fantastic cigar that started everything right in my cigar life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headstand Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 An R&J Churchills tubo back in 1998. Don't recall much about that cigar. Fast forward through a handful of baby celebration cigars (more R&J)to a few years ago. A great BBF received as a birthday gift and enjoyed at a mountain campground - been all downhill since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesC Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 My first was a Monte #2, of course after that, you've gotta to be hooked to CC's. By the way, I'm also located in SoCal and always trying to find people who liked CC's. Can you email me, maybe we can share some good cc sometimes, or if you know anyone else or groups that share the same interests. Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heminway186 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 My first cigar was a Montecristo no. 2, my dear father ruined cheap cigars from the onset for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jholen Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 PLPC. My palate was very, very new and I really didn't appreciate it at the time if I'm honest. I've smoked three more since then, and have enjoyed the HQ ones especially well. Great smooth/creamy goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Cohiba Siglo VI, which was absolutely delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasabar Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 My first Cuban was a Monte No. 4. found out about them from the cigar aficionado forums and ordered them elsewhere. I got a GOOD box and smoked the crap out of them. I ordered a 2nd box and it sucked. Turned me off for awhile. No more buying blind for me and the I only order through Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archosaur Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Monte #4 single, picked up in Dubai in 2008, smoked in Old Town on the riverfront. The cigar wasn't as good as the overall memory/experience, but it was different than the Nicaraguans I had grown accustomed to...more subtle and thought provoking. After some quick research and a nice little haul from the airport, I was on my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomF Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 In the mid 1990's a guy I was working with found a source in Switzerland and we did a box split of Monte 4's. I got 5 of them. I had not been smoking cigars for long at the time and had little experience, but the thing I remember most was that salty sour twang that I had never tasted in a cigar before. Then I quit smoking entirely for many years and have just found my way back to Habanos in the past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDD Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm trying to think back. It was either a Monte 2 or an RyJ Churchill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klassikkasp Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 RyJ cedros deluxe no 3 in Coconut Grove at Green St Cafe at a random outdoor concert. Gifted to me by a fellow BOTL. (my girlfriends best friends boyfriend). Those things are rolled extremely tight and do not produce much smoke, I've never had one that did.

Bennettjohnl Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Had a few from my Uncle which were underwhelming. I remember he had problems sourcing back then so they may not have been authentic. First box I bought were Monte 4's for the birth of my son. Took those on a hunting trip and they flew away faster then the birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btp1979 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Mine was a Guantanamera Cristales that had been in a friends tackle box for a few years. In spite of this, I still decided to get into cigars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
