We have all tried crap...in high school or around the camp fire. But there was one...maybe more than one, that really made you see the light. What was the cigar that made you a Cigar guy?
for me:
My buddy Jeff in college was quite a good looking guy and was sort of "discovered" when we were in school in the 90's. His agent flew him to hollywood on occasion and he came back with some cigars once or us to try that his agent said were good.
He gave me a Fonseca, an Avo, and an Opus X Corona. Jeff never made it big time, but still a best friend.
They were so good that I went to get a part time job at a local cigar shop to learn more.
While working there, I had a girlfriend who brought me back a few sticks while traveleing overseas...a bahia (awful) and a montecristo "A". The monte took 3 hours and almost killed me. But very, very nice. I just couldn't handle it all at the time.
The real culprit was while at a friends lakehouse. My friend's dad was a big time lawyer and had a whole humidor full of Cohiba Robustos. He gave me one.
I never looked back. Amazing. I loved it. I will never for get the day. The rest is history.
