Nicotine Buzz

[Infin1ty]

Well I saw that there was already a thread about which cigar gives the best nicotine buzz, but this was a different question so I figured I'd better post a new thread about it.

I've been a cigarette smoker for quite a few years now and I know how you can get a nicotine buzz from a cigarette, but how do you get a nicotine buzz from a cigar when you don't inhale?

It absorbs via the soft tissue in the mouth...... cheeks, gums, under the tongue.
Same as chewing tobacco, coca leaves, etc.......

Ah alright, well that clears that one up for me.

Thank You!

cigarette smoke is acidic, so it has to be absorbed through the lungs, but cigar smoke is alkaline, so it can be absorbed through the mouth.

At least that's the explanation I read somewhere, I could probably dig it up if you want.
