Well let me start with a short background with my first experience with cigars.
I grew in a small town in South Texas, the first time I went to a bigger city was with a friend. I was fourteen. He invited me to go to San Antonio with his family, I was beyond excited just to go. So were walking around in the River Center Mall and out of the corner of my eye I saw this tobacco shop and theres this older lady rolling cigars in the front window. I was so amazed I just stood there watching for a couple of minutes. I finally gather enough nerve to walk into the store, once I stepped in I was engulfed with the powerful aroma. I was hooked! I didn't get to try my first cigar until years later, but it was the best feeling being able to walk into a cigar shop and actually purchase one.
I'm still very new and unexperienced, but I am here eager to learn.
