BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Your first cigar experience? What cigar? How old? Etc

They are just busting your balls. I would not take to heart anything either one says. They really are good guys, just smart asses.
Watch out! @bwhite220 will try to "hug" you next.
Good thing I’ve been practicing Krav Maga for 6 years. Lol

No big deal. Never took it as a negative. All good. I equally enjoy banter.

THANK GOD!!!! I didn't want you to go all postal and stuff.
My first cigar was a Romeo & Julieta. It was in 1997 and I was going through Marine Corps Infantry School in North Carolina. We had been in the field all week and were pretty wore out. We had dinner and one of my buddies sat down beside me and broke out 2 cigars and gave one to me. We both sat there in the shade propped up against 2 pine trees and puffed away not saying a word. I haven’t seen him in 22 years now but we talk on the phone from time to time thinking about the good old days.

It was in 2014, I was 18 years old. I had previously been smoking cigs and Swishers for a couple years on and off, but wanted to wait til I was 18 to smoke a real cigar. First was a JM Dominican Maduro. For my first, it didn't taste awful .
My first cigar was one I rolled myself. It was crafted on the nude thighs of Salma Hayek on her 18th birthday. It wasn't the cigar, it was the experience that made it memorable. So, I agree with Nycphotog guy. Triple cap toro and that wasn't cigar glue.
Ok, I'm makin shit up.

Mine was in 1997 given to me by my older brother. I was 32 and the reason he gave it to me was I would look at his JR's catalogs and would say " If I'm gonna pay 5 bucks for some rolled up tobacco I better get high" . So one day at a cook out at his house he hands me a La Finka torpedo ( when La Finkas were actually good long fill cigars). The saying goes something like this." The rest is history".
Does a blunt count? First smoke was a java my BIL passed on to me. Hung with those for a few months and moved onto a AB presnado to start my non infused liking's.. That was 2 years ago. 8 years ago Copenhagen was my choice of nicotine. For me I don't view cigar smoking as an experience. Its just tobacco meant to be burnt.

This is pretty easy for me as it was about two years ago .
Memorial Day weekend at a buddy's wedding. Get to the reception and through dinner and all of the formalities. Groom comes over and tells a few of us to join him at the gazebo. We do with scotch in hand. He opens a box of cigars and tells all of us that we're partaking. It was a box of cigar.com purple house labels. He had no idea what he was doing but it was a great time and started me down the rabbit hole!!
