I will be first to spill guts, I smoked Garcia Vegas, would buy box of 50 for $22.00. That was four years ago.

In response to the earlier post - oh, by no means did I mean to hint that I didn't go through EVERY SINGLE grocery / drug store brand there was...at one point I had a dozen half-empty packages of everything known to man in my kitchen drawer. (Humidify them? What was that?) Garcia Vegas, sure, plus those pipe tobacco ones...a Hav-a-Tampa with the wooden tip - very continental. Even smoked White Owl New Yorkers for awhile, god they were awful, but they were consistently awful and cheap. When the car became unbearable it was fairly painless to toss a ten cent stogie out the window.

CAO Brazilia Amazons when they first came out. Man those things can really put out a volume of smoke!

Mine was 2 boxes at once.

A Fuentes Canones Nat. and A Fuentes Dbl. Chateau Nat.

I was in college and got a good tax refund. Bought my first humidor that day as well 🙂

As a matter of fact, I still have 1 Canone from that box, almost 8 years ago 🙂

hmmmmmm wonder how that one will taste 🙂

Let me think............

Later

Homebrew

First kind-of-box: Cuban Partagas Chicos. Small, but flavorful.

First regular-box: Padron Churchills. Still buy them, all the time.

La Gloria Cubana Wavells in maduro. Still counts as the most satisfactory box purchase I ever made in terms of value and enjoyment and yet I haven't bought a second box. Why?

Those Thompson Dog Rockets don't count, do they? First box of smokable cigars I bought was 5 Vegas. Still casting around and trying five-packs and samplers for the most part...

Tabantillas Churchill maduro. Every once in a while Tabantillas show up for bid here but not in maduro. If they did I'd buy them again. They're kind of like what you get if you feed your dog Eukanuba Premium.

I started with the best (dog rocket you can find!)

Big Butt Robustos, nasty!

I was lucky, my first box was 5 vegas robustos. Smoked like 3 of them the instant I opened the box.

Choner

White Owl "It's a girl" cigars. Tried one, tasted like rolled cigarette tobacco.
