What was your first box purchase?

[11is1louder]

Was it your personal favorite "go-to" smoke, or just a stick you had a few times and liked and just got a good deal on a box?

Just curious. I've actually never bought a box before, just a bunch of samplers, 5pk or10pk, and singles.

Perdomo lot 23, one of my favorite smokes and it just made more sense to dive in and buy a box. To every new smoker i say don't buy boxes just to buy a box cause what you love now you may hate later on. used to love macanudos but now i don't know what i ever saw in them.

Mine was the Brick House Robusto. I came to a point where I was just like "I should buy a box". It was $100 bucks for 25 and frankly it's a decent smoke that never really gets old.

I am also a big fan of the Lot 23, actually have a 10pk from Famous Smoke coming this Wednesday.

My first 2 boxes were splits with a friend; we grabbed San Cristobal Papagayos and Ashton VSG Robustos. I still have a few of the VSG's and after 4 years they've really turned into something special. Only have a few left but I would put them up against anything else in my humi right now. As for a go to stick, whenever I can't decide what I want I reach for a My Father Le Bijou Corona Gorda. Just grabbed a box last week of cbid.com for $66 shipped. Hard to go wrong at that price.

I haven't bought a box of anything yet, but my first box purchase will more than likely be Liga Privada No. 9, or Ramon Bueso Genesis, maybe some JDN Antano 1970s.

My first box was CAO Anniversaire Maduros Robustos back in 2001-2 (I think) when they came in the square tubes... I actually still have about 5 of them, and they are much better than the current production sticks though they aren't as consistent in appearance. I actually gave several away at a new years party this past year. I still kick myself for not picking up the extremes because I held onto one for a few years and it was amazing when I finally smoked it... I don't buy many boxes as a rule, but that's really because of storage space more than anything.

Oliva V Lancero. Box of 36. Still have at least half of them left. So good for the price.

Padilla Serie '68 Robustos - on sale for $50/box, IIRC. Still like them too, especially the lanceros.

El Titan de Bronze Redemption Maduro in the Toro. Had never had one, was my first trip to Florida and Little Havana, found the shop online and went there and bought a box. Has since become my favrite shop and haven't found the quality or consistency anywhere else!

Rolondo Reyes, Rolys.... Yuck, what was I thinkin..... I just wanted the 25 per box at a low price. Won't do them again.

My first box was Camacho 1962 torpedoes about 6 years ago. Still have one left. From there its been all down hill. I recommend any new cigar smoker wait a while before buying in box quantity. I know I made my share of buys I had to trade away later because my palate changed.
