I had my first few cigars on my 17th birthday. I was given a 3 finger leather case with a CoRo, Monte 2, and PAM 64 Diplomatico. I smoked the two CCs first, well because they were CC. I thought they were ok, but I wasn't going to run out and buy more of them. I had the PAM 1964 last, and that stick was incredible. After that stick, all I smoked from about 17-21 were PAM 1964/26. Back then, a box of PAMs would last me about 2 months. It wasn't until about 3-4 years ago that I really started getting into cigars and trying everything I could get my hands on. Some days, I wish I never would have smoked that PAM 64.
