"Having already been accepted college I felt a strong desire to serve my country. I decided to enlist two weeks before I graduated. Getting ready to leave a month before shipping to basic training I received a free cigar from an event I volunteered at. After having my first cigar I knew I wanted to become an aficionado as I began to grow older and more wise. I have now smoked around 30 cigars and only truly enjoyed a handful. I have only had one cigar from this brand and would love to try more from the brand of Ted's cigars and begin to enjoy and smoke this brand more frequently."
