If this has been done to death, or done before, please feel free to flame me. 🙂

Think back to the early days of your cigar experience. What was the first full box of smokes you ever bought? As for me, I say with a fair tinge of shame, it was a box of Tinder Box house brand. Yeesh!

Well, I dont know if a bundle will count like a box, but my first bundle were some Flor Del Todo's. My first box was Padron Lonsdales.

My first box was 25 years ago. As I recall, it was a box of tubed Romeo's. They were excellent. I can still remember smoking them.

Heck Robby! Did you start smoking at 15yrs old? I saw the pic of you & the mrs and you dont look very old! This isnt a rip but a complement. Just curious. How old are you?

First box was a box of Macanudos in 1973 while I was a Navy LTJG....think they cost about 24 bucks at the Navy PX in Roosevelt Roads Puerto Rico!

It was either a box of La Luna Maduro Fuerte torpedos (very good) or a box of Cohiba Lanceros (Habanos) which were astoundingly good except they rolled too tight.

Te Amo corona maduro's

They were the darkest cigars in the shop, so I figured they had to be good.

Didn't anyone start out with machine rolled drug store cigars? Sounds like everyone responding is talking about hand rolled. I wasn't savey, nor capable enough (read $) to buy a box of hand rolled sticks back when I bought my first box. Besides, they were bought just to hand out at a football game. So about 30 of us "enjoyed" my box of HOMEMADE cigars....yes that's right....best 5 for a nickle anywhere (lol). Sorry to admit it, but those were high school hi-jenks days of the 60's.

The box of Punch I bought I paid $35.00 for. I believe it was a brevas. I suspect it of being a machine made.
