What is the one stick that got you hooked

[L.F.O.D.]

For me it was the A.F. 8-5-8 Nat.
How about you?

Nicaraguan Puro, that my boy gave me! I don't know what it was, but
i was stumbling all over the place going to my car, and munchin on whatever
i could driving up the 415 on my way back to LAX! (5-31-09)

It was at that moment that for the first time in my life that I became a SMOKER!!! :agreeclen: :stretchgr:

Torano Exodus 1959 Toro. First good smoke I had.

Padron 3000 Maduro. Still one of my absolute favorites.

A Montecristo #2 someone gave me on the golf course.

Not one stick but a box. In the 70's Thompson used to sell a sampler box of their house cigar. ABout 24 cigars of various sizes in a humi. I bought one, smoked em all and began looking for more. Never looked back

CAO Gold band, which I don't smoke anymore... That was about 6+ year ago...

Macanudo Cafe Baron De Rothschild

Even though it's mild.. I still love that stick.

The 5 Vegas Miami got me back into wanting to try cigars again (interestingly, those don't do much for me now).

But the ones that really got me into smoking were the CAO Black, RP OWR, and RP Vintage '92--all of which I still like.

RyJ Vintage Maduros got me hooked when I first started out. Havent had one in quite some time though.

Wow. Len. Killer stick for a newbie.

 

[Surfrod55]

My first was a Romeo Julieta Reserve Maduro on a day that I was fishing off the beach.

 

[xddco]

Smoked a Montecristo #2 at a wedding reception about 15 years ago..... followed it up with a Cohiba robusto after the dinner.... had no idea what they were.. just knew they were good and I liked the buzz...

never went back to my pipe....even though pipes were cheaper... even the Savenelli Auotgraphs and Charatans....

would have alot more in my IRA if I had never smoked that Monte.....LOL!

 

[okia42]

Oliva G maduro. Still a great stick

 

[superman76]

Punch Champion I picked up at total wine. I always tried to grab a cigar when we were traveling, but this is the first one that made me pine for more. It really knocked me on my ass.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Back in the 70's it was the Garcia Y Vega Crystal #200's.

A good friend handed me a RyJ Churchill after a nice Italian dinner one night...
