Ok so I thought I would show you where this cigar addiction started for me.

I went on holiday for a few weeks with my G/F and had a ball. I have been a smoker for the past 10 years on and off and have never really thought about cigars. I have now come to the decision that I prefer a cigar to a cigarette and I think I am a bit addicted to this site and other cigar sites where I can buy and try...

Anyway I went to a cigar shop and had a chance to try one and roll some which was good.

I enjoyed it so much I brought a whole box.

The whole box cost me $85 which to me was a bargain as I liked them alot. Since trying other brands I must admit I dont like them as much but they are still a good smoke and certainly something I will always remember as my first cigar.

This new passion is great I actually look forward to coming home from work chilling out and having a nice smoke. I have also cut down to approx 2-3 cigarettes a day !! which for me is superb.

May this year. It was great fun I didnt really set out to buy any cigars I just got caught in the moment "so to speak" and have not looked back..

Great pics - and a perfect introduction to the world of cigars! Were your attempts to roll successful?

I think so my attempt was this :

The guy had to cut it to size as it was bigger in length than the others but it looked ok to me..

The whole room smelt great.

That looks pretty damn good to me! By the way, good luck with cutting down on the fags. I'm an ex cigarette smoker and I know hard it is to give up, but you get so much more pleasure from smoking a cigar! One of the best things I ever did...

Thanks I did try my best

Agreed I have had 1 cigarette today and I didnt like it once I lit it up

Defo more pleasure from a cigar.
