Scored a sweet deal on a box of Undercrown Beliscos that I couldn't pass up. I've only ever bought singles to this point so very excited to have these. My wineador won't look so lonely now :)

What was you first box purchase?

Congrats, way to christen the wineador! First box for me was a box of DPG Black Label robustos. Still have a few floating around if I remember correctly, should be smoking great now if I can ever find them!

I don't think I bought my first box until about 2004.....they were La Aroma de Cuba Robustos. I went through several of those that year.

My first box (not counting the box of Ramon Allones CC's I split with my brother, since it was a split) was Oliva G Maduro Torp's.

Buying cigars has become a dangerous addiction for me.

That's awesome, congrats!

My first box was a cigar called "420". I bought it before I knew 420 stood for weed, then I was scared to try the cigar in case they were tainted or something, my job drug tests us constantly, therefore I can't take a chance. So, my first real box purchase after that was Padron 2k's.

As embarrassing as it is, my first box was a box of John Bull Churchills ...I still have some of them and try to smoke em when mowing the yard... I have only smokes one UC, but I would def. Love the box you just scored. Nice pick up. Enjoy them

Thanks guys. You are right...it's more additive buying boxes than singles...

Stopped by my local cigar shop on a whim tonight and and picked up a box of Padron 3000s (had them do half natural/half maduro) for less than $5 a stick. I thought that was too good to pass up.

2 boxes in 2 days after almost a year without. Jesus.

You just walked into a very dark place, heh.

Next you'll be saying, "I can't afford NOT to buy this! Two please!" ;)

Good first buys! Mine was Camacho 1962 torpedos about 4 years ago. They are pretty amazing now... Been a long slippery slope since.

I love my local shop haha. He tried to convince me to pick up a box of 1926s. I said "no way in hell".
