I think I'm one of the few fortunates that can brag that I've never smoked a machine made cigar... no offense to anyone intended though. My first cigar was either a Cuba Aliados or La Gloria Cubana back in 1999. From there on out, I was completely hooked. This was when I was 17. However, my dad would buy me cigars (as long as I payed for them), because as he put it, if I was old enough to hold down a job, go to school andm ake car payments, I was old enough to smoke cigars... and deserved to smoke cigars. Even back then I dove right in and began smoking atleast one a day.
