So let hear from everyone here. How did you get your start in the wonderful lifestyle?
For me. I occasionally smokes a stick with my farther maybe 2 or 3 a year. Then last Christmas the misses got me a humidor and a box of cigars and i guess you could say the rest is history.

When I was 2 I was sent to live with my grandmother. She used to smoke cigars. Back then there were no qualms about smoking indoors or second hand smoke. She's since passed. Somewhere along my adulthood I took to it.

When you have walked in my shoes, done what I've done, seen what I've seen, then maybe you can criticize.

I smoked cigarettes for 10 years, then quit. I found it left a void so I went to a pipe. The pipe was far too complicated and involved to much stuff, so I went to a cigar (pretty much how and why the cigar was invented, as a self contained self sufficient pipe replacement)

(my personal story, not company obviously) It's kinda funny, I used to work for a cell phone retailer when I was 18 and the owner would always go smoke cigars and invite people to come with him. I wanted some face time to suggest some of my own ideas for the company so I joined for a few cigar smoking sessions. I fell in love with cigars almost right away and I've been a BOTL ever since!

Because my coke and pot habit never quite cost enough. Once I found good cigars I really started spending all my money.

I was drunk at a bar and smoking some Topper Old Fashioned (in the good ole days when smoking in bars was the norm). I figured I would check out what a good cigar taste like about a week later. Had a few Short Stories and was hooked.

Really long story but it was my wife and daughter who did this to me.
