Welcome

Welcome to Winston's Stash.  In this blog I will discuss my cigar collection, cigars I'm currently smoking or plan to smoke and anything else having to do with cigars.

I smoked my first cigar roughly 16 years ago.  With those first few puffs I knew it would not be my last.  Like many other starting cigar smokers, it was a Swisher Sweet with a wooden tip.  I was not yet old enough to buy my own cigars, so I began giving my 18 year old friends money to buy cigars for me from the tobacconist at the mall.  I don't remember the bands on the cigars they came back with, they were certainly not Swisher Sweets. I smoked them in the relative privacy of my attic bedroom by an open window in the dead of winter. I froze my ass off, but I clearly remember how delicious they were and the mild buzz I caught; I was hooked.  Thus began my foray into the world of tobacco and I haven't looked back.
