How did you get into C&C's

Smoked my first fake in Mexico. Been hooked on cigars ever since.

I mentioned to a dive buddy in the 90's that I had enjoyed a Cuban cigar after my first dive trip to Cozumel Mexico. He was working for a beer company that just bought a brewery in Cuba and volunteered to bring me back a box each of the three trips he did during the year`. Other friends going to Cuba also seemed to volunteer without me asking.

From there duty free cigars while travelling were mostly Cuban or that is what I focused on.

The past year and a half my interest has increased to cover a wider spectrum of both CC and NC's.

Ironically I have been to Cuba twice, each time for 3 weeks and while I smoked cigars I did not enjoy the full Cuban cigar experience.

I have only been smoking a few years now and find I enjoy a decent sized cigar. I don't mind the 1 to 2 hour marathons. But I live in Canada so that's why I like the C&C's for the winter months. I don't feel bad turfing them and running back in the house because my fingers have lost feeling and the ability to bend. I generally stock up on ( shhh my secret shame) a bundle or two of Quorums an NC brand that's like $25 bucks a bundle. Not a bad stick though. I like them. But this year I have gravitated towards smoking a pipe. So far so good nice 20 to 30 minute burns and the bowl keeps my hands warm. It's all win win from here!

Did I mention it was pretty damn cheap too!

The main reason is time. Too many instances I've had to pitch perfectly good sticks just because I've suddenly had something to do.

Also, they make great short sticks for walking the dog.

I don't have a great sense of taste...none of that granite, anise, nutmeg here....so it is hard to justify spending over $10 a stick when I won't get more pleasure than 2 $5 sticks.

And I smoke 7-10 a week so the budget comes into play....

But most of all I am lucky that I like smaller sticks so they naturally are the cheaper ones most of the time.
