Can't quite remember what or when my first cigar was, but the first one I smoked before I got really into cigars was a Hoyo De Monterrey. Oddly enough I first got into smoking with pipes. Never really liked cigarettes.
Arturo Fuente Brevas churchill. Both me and my best friend got one to celebrate graduating early, and damned if we didn't smoke those down to the nub in the cold ass January weather.
No idea..... I smoked cigarettes for a long time and quit once my wife got pregnant. About a year after I quit a family friend gave me a cigar as a Christmas gift. I don't remember what it was, but I enjoyed it immensely. Shortly after that I bought my desktop humidor and purchased a few cigars from here. Now I average 1-2 cigars a week (weather permitting) and average around 300 sticks on hand.
I would have to say that I am in the same boat. My first real cigar anyway. I had some swisher sweets while camping, also some other cigar(s) or cigar/cigs that came in a sealed almost like them big league chews (bubble gum). They were much better than the swishers and I have even had a few since (about last summer) which they still were pleasant. Not as good as say some real cigars but better than anything else out there cigar-like. Another one of my first cigars was a partagas black and gurkha gran reserve. Both I still like to this day.
My mom bought me a couple as a stocking stuffer, because I had been saying I wanted to get into them. She couldn't remember what they were, so I'm really not sure. I know the first 'real' cigar that I tried that I had bought, was a Carlos Torano Casa Torano.
