Like many of us, a Swisher or two while I was in the army. Didn't really pick up the hobby until much later.

First real cigars as an Avo XO Intermezzo. Picked it up at the Davidoff store in the Venetian in Vegas, carried it down to the Paris, and burned it with a cocktail in the bar that sits in the middle of the casino area while my wife and sisters in law played slots. Still one of my favorites.
