Hello, just thought I would introduce myself. On and off I have probably been smoking cigars for over 30 years. Probably the first cigar I had was a machine made, candela wrapped Garcia Y Vega. I remember nothing about it except that it did not make me vomit. In the early 1990s, a friend from Chicago sent me a few Garmirians and a Montecristo. I can still remember the saltiness of the Montecristo. First box purchases were Aliados lonsdales and Fuente short stories probably from Barclay Rex in New York.
