Re: What age did you start smoking cigars and how long have you been i
Started out in my teens smoking nasty machine made cigars. Then one day about 14 or 15 years ago (age 29 or 30), I was in a smoke shop buying a pack of cigarettes and saw a case with cigars in it. It had been a while since I smoked a stogie, so I grabbed an Arturo Fuente Exquisito. I couldn't believe how much better that cigar tasted compared to Backwoods, Phillies, etc. It was all downhill from there.
P.S. Buy a big humidor.

Re: What age did you start smoking cigars and how long have you been i
I started when I was 25, that was 7 years ago. Started out with Padron and Perdomo’s. Then I became obsessed with all the hard to find small batch stuff by Drew Estate, Tat, and and Illusione. Then turned into one of those Cuban only guys. Now I smoke a lot of Fuente, AVO, Tatuaje, Dre Estate, Ramon Allones and Bolivar. I rarely get a chance to smoke these days with two small children, working crazy hours and keeping time for my wife as well. But I try and smoke once a month.

Started at age 12 back 46 years ago. Started with my dads Swishers and progressed through the gas station convenient store brands until I was 20. Found a B&M close by and here we are today.

Re: What age did you start smoking cigars and how long have you been i
Turned 18 and bought what I thought was a good stick to celebrate. (being in Miami there are Fohibas floating around everywhere so go figure
 ) Then while I was in the police academy a few years later cigars came up in conversation and was finally gifted a quality cigar by my buddy Frank. I continued to smoke cigars for the next couple of years not really concerning myself with what I smoked or whatever, but just recently started appreciating cigars more than ever. Needless to say, in the last two years I have really caught the bug and have been trying to play catch up ever since.

Re: What age did you start smoking cigars and how long have you been i
Off and ON in my early 20's and really got into smoking cigars in my early 30's when I quit smoking the cowboy killers. Started with Don Tomas, CAO, and Rocky Patel them moved on from there. Did the Acid and havana honeys for a bit, then got my hands on Fuentes and La Flor. When this place was Club Stogie, TriShield gifted me my first real cuban, it's been downhill ever since....and boy i love the ride.

Re: What age did you start smoking cigars and how long have you been i
1997 - A few months before my 20th birthday. Best friend was getting married...figured we had to have cigars for the bachelor party. Some crappy Tinder Box brand but I enjoyed the experience. He asked me what I wanted as my best man gift so I asked for a good cigar. He bought me an Ashton.....rest is history
The marriage ended in 2017..ironically a few months before they hit 20 years.....but I'm still smoking good cigars
