I bought my first box at Holts in CC Philly. I was working in Philly at the time and went there after work. The sales guy was great. Explained to me the differences between the blends and tastes. I wound up going with a box of AF Don Carlos. I remember it costs like $180 (over 20 years ago) and that cigar really hooked me. Especially after it aged in my humidor for a couple of months.
