I was digging in one of my humidors and found an Indian Tabac maduro Churchill I think it originally came in a tube. Anyway it was my first CBID purchase back in 2002-03 timeframe. Figure I'll fire it up and see how it held up after all these years. Does anyone else remember their first purchase on cbid or even still have any of the sticks?

My first purchase was the Drew Estate MEDUSA.
I won all 5 lots offered, and got them for $3 each !
Now THOSE were the good old days !

Long gone are the Indian Tobacc cigars. Now we can bid on Panama Jack Diaquiri flavored cigars. Delicious and Refreshing😝

I think is was early 2008! was supposed to be the original lines of La Perla Habana Morado & Cobre Belicosos. Pretty good! Much better then the current below average stuff

My first was a Puros Indios... I thought they were good at the time. I sent some to my vet in the noob vet trade plus a bunch of other crap. My apologies Dave97420, aka Dave Zippy (head hang low)...

That said, anyone know the where about's of Dave... he's in Oregon.... big Oregon Ducks football fan. FOGS should remember him.

Oh, I bought a bunch, I was trying to fill up my newly built wineador.

If I remember right, it was a bunch of Oliva, some Padrons and a crap load of yard gars.

I would have to research that question...
Even with my superior
"Project BLACKJACK" memory...

I'd guess... I.T. SUPER Fuertes or some kind of seconds? Perhaps Perdomo MISTAKES 2nds maduro
OR Fonsecas? Maybe some candelas for my NEIGHBOR?

Sadly I must admit Puros Indios was also my 1st Cbid purchase followed by a lot of different "bargain" cigars. Fortunately a kind vet took me under his wing and led me down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. Thank you Gandalf.

As for Zippy Dave, he's still in Oregon and doing fine, I would see him yearly at KNOF's annual Holiday Open House in the bay area. Along with SteveS (he led me to this place), Slimboli, TG, Beatdragon, Wyteyes and others.

Left the Bay area 2 years ago for SC, miss those Holiday Open Houses, Keith put on a great gathering of family and friends.

Haven't seen KNOF on the boards for years. Now and again I see Gan at some Masshole herfs. My car was in the shop so I missed him this year at the annual Hyannis Herf (Cape Cod area) that Basic Patrick puts on...

I've burned through a lot of IT Super Fuentes over the years. I didn't think they were a bad smoke. I probably still have a handful in one of my totes. Might have to go tuper diving this weekend.

My first box was Oliva Os. Followed by several Man o War and Diesel stuff, some Indian tobac. A few bundle stuff I can't remember.

I kinda feel bad for some of the stuff I shared with others, had lots of trash in my humidor but I didn't know better. At that time everything tasted the same to me anyway.
