My story is simple... Brother in law smokes Macanudo Vintage's almost exclusively. Every now and then, I'd smoke one with him. They were very enjoyable to a complete noob. Mild and not complex. Then I ran in to Ed, who introduced me to many, many more (and better) cigars. Cool insight Walt!

That was back in '99 or so. Most of those guys don't smoke anymore, but I have continued to enjoy cigars as often as I can! Great story Walt!

Great stories. My story is a bit simpler. My first cigar was almost my last cigar. My wife had bought me a CI cigar sampler with humidor (90 rated sampler) for father's day. I didn't smoke at the time, but her uncle told her that would be a good gift. It was. I couldn't wait to try my first premium cigar. Of course, the first cigar I picked was a Joya de Nicaragua Antano. I decided to smoke this cigar late morning before lunch. As the frog says, It's not easy being green. I vowed that I would never smoke again. I felt like my head was going to explode. Well, I later found out from my wife that I wasn't supposed to smoke that one first. Of course, that information would have been helpful before I smoked that strongest cigar in the world. I decided to give it another try. The sampler also had a couple Casa Torano which I really enjoyed. So, I'm glad I didn't let one bad experience keep me from this wonderful pastime. Wow. Great stories. My story is a bit simpler.

It was a Cojimar rum, I think it was either a corona or robusto size. I remember really enjoying the buzz more than the flavors. I smoked around half of it then put the other half away for the next night. I know YUCK! Shortly after that I visited a smoke shop at the local open mall, bought a few sticks (highly price-gouged) and went home to enjoy them. I later placed an order with Cuban Crafters and got my first humidor along with a selection of cigars (the JL Salazars really gave me a buzz). On November 2005 I was seperated, and May 2006 divorced. Since then I have smoked several cigars, learned how to truly taste and savor them, and also married a woman who also enjoys cigars as much as I do. I've been to this site almost daily; reading/viewing past reviews and articles, but this is my first post. Thank you guys-Jerry (you go pinoy!), Walt, Brian and everyone else here at Stogiereview.com for all the entertainment and advice you have provided.

The one thing I really love about Stogiereview is that it feels like good friends enjoying and sharing. While we all have different cigar tastes, we all share a passion for them!!! The first video I saw was Jerry and I continue to enjoy his passion and way of speeking like we are in the same room goofing off. It's the personality of this site that makes it excel for me. Thanks so much for your passion, time and willingness to enjoy a good smoke and share experiences with us :) Also, I love the additional content you all are putting on the site. News, reviews of all types, turds to expensive unobtainiums and interviews!!! Great stuff. Please keep smoking the cheap cigars and reviewing them along with the expensive premiums. I like to hear your thoughts on all types and varieties! Dave Great story Walt. The one thing I really love about Stogiereview is that it feels like good friends enjoying and sharing.
