If you count Swisher's then it was 2003. But I'll go with premium and it was a Corona infused cigar. I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me but it was delicious and was what got me started.
An unknown Cuban. It was the last day of a study abroad trip in Geneva. The host gifted several to one of our professors. He didn't want to try to bring them back, so he shared with a few of us.
If I tune the dial on my way-back machine to when I was barely a grown-up,...... Nope. Don't recall exactly what type of cigar. I do remember a tan plastic tubo with a brown cap that I saved for a while but it probably wasn't from THE first cigar. Even my current era love affair with cigars began with an unknown (and un-banded) cigar from a shop whose name I don't recall. The only cool part is that it may have been fresh rolled at that very shop. There were a couple of rolling tables set up in the window of the shop to get your attention. I didn't enjoy the cigar much but I enjoyed the ritual and my attempt at the ritual. I'm glad I kept trying and found that there were better cigars out there, otherwise I'd think you were all idiots for suckin' on those rolled up burning leaves.
Can't remember exactly which one but one of the Machine Made ones but my first actual one was a Macanudo I got at the Venetian while in Vegas for my BDay.
Don't remember the brand, but it was an over-priced premi-prem I picked up after dinner at Big Daddy's in Kure Beach, North Carolina. Nothin' like a cigar on the beach after some crab legs!
The very first one ever, swisher of course somewhere around 77. First real one Macanudo, Prince of Wales
97? The one that started this obsession and led to insanity, LFD Airbender, New Years Eve 2012.
