Just reading some threads and got me thinking about my first box purchase. Mine was over twenty years ago and was a box of Don Tomas Robustos from Ted's Pipe Shoppe here in Tulsa. Nicaraguan cigars were basically crap back then. Dominican cigars were the thing, Honduran cigars were decent, and Jamaican cigars were still available. What cigar made you take the big leap to make a box purchase?.....
A 15 ct box of Padilla Vintage Reserve about 2 1/2 yrs ago.
That was a really nice cigar! Wish they still made them.

Alec Bradley Maxx! A friend gave me one and it was THE cigar that got me hooked. I bought a box after smoking one. Still one of my favorites to this day.
Mine was the Jericho Hill 12 Honest Men, just a month or 2 ago
LDF Double Ligero
Actually, now that I recall, I purchased a box of Gran Habano Cabinet Select like 7 years ago
My first actual box was a box of Anejos, however several bundles pre-date that purchase.
I think it was Fuente Churchill Maduros. If not it was EP Carillo EL 2012.
First box purchase was early '14, and it was Punch Elites (corona). Still love me some Punch. First cigar that made me pay the extra for a box from a b&m, was the LGC Serie R Esteli, and that's still the best $5 cigar I've ever had
I can honestly say I've never bought a box of cigars.
I've bought plenty of bundles of 20 or more, but never a whole box at the same time of something good enough to actually package in a box. (bit of a cheapie aficionado here, in case you haven't figured that out :))
And I've paid a few bucks for _empty_ boxes at the B&M if they were particularly attractive, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you're talking about here :)
First box I got off cbid this past year, Ramon Bueso Genesis.... Well Thompson cigars originally sent me my first box which was Arturo Fuente Queen B, I quickly returned it and never dealt with them since.
First box purchase was the T52 Flying Pigs.
Oliva V Double Robusto. Still have a couple boxes in the Humi.

That is some first purchase. I bought a box about 6 months ago and still haven't opened it. I think this will have to one of the cigars I bring to the Second Annual Cigar Bum Orgy.Quote:

Not sure. Either Blanco 9 Lancero or Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote. Probably the Quixotes, but I can't swear to it.
I still smoke "Yes" cigars, which are Jamaican. My friends ask, "Are Jamaican cigars?" And I reply, "Yes."Quote:

Padron 2000 was the first good box, but I seem to recall buying a box or two of Garcia Vega back in the day.....
