It was bound to happen...

[MrBucket101]

I finally got sick off of a cigar.

It was a Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Toro. I smoked about 3/4 of it and i was loving it. Although i started buzzing halfway through i kept going...bad move on my part. i buzzed for the better part of the hour, and then i just got sick... felt like i was throwing up after drinking too much booze.

A lil pepto and a LOOOONG nap put me back on my feet but man was my stomach weak...

i just thought i would share with the jungle
anyone else have a similar story recently


PS - hopefully this is the right forum

Next time just sip Root Beer...the sugar will help you pace through the cigar.

The same thing happened to me with a Monte #2 the other night. I though the beers were gettingto me about half way in, so I stopped drinking. When I finished the cigar I was laying on the groung sick as a dog for about a half an hour. Then I was able to drag myself into the kitchen and eat some ice cream to even myself out. it was a great cigar but not a good experience.

Just do a Mary Poppin's! "A spoonful of sugar..."

First cigar that ever kicked my butt and got me feeling that sick was a Tat Rc 184 early in the afternoon on an empty stomach. I was green and had that mouth watering feeling for hours even after some sugar. I now enjoy that cigar from time to time but after a hearty meal!Took me almost 6 months to try another one because I couldn't get that sick feeling outta my head every time I picked one up.

601 green gave me a lesson in slower smoking. I did not get sick but it was close.

An Onyx reserve did this to me once. Also, a Illusione f9

Sugar will help counteract the effects of nicotine. Drinking a sugar(not diet) drink while smoking is one way. Others keep candy close at hand. Eating a full meal before smoking a strong stick also helps, especially when you start messing around with big boy smokes like Litto's, LFD's or Joya's! The only time I have had this feeling was from an RP Edge Corojo, many moons ago.
Straight sugar will go almost instantly into the bloodstream and you should feel better in a few minutes.

I'm a noobie to this site and pretty much to the great world of cigar smoking also.

I'm finding that I do prefer full bodied maduro cigars most of all. However, at times I do certainly get the nicotine buzz that I really don't find all that enjoyable. The queeziness, sweating, etc. I've never gotten sick but I do wonder at times why the hell I'm spending my hard earned $$$ to feel like shit for an hour or so.

For the most part I absolutely enjoy my smokes (just finished a Punch Chateau L Maduro) and feel fine. But with the many posts I read where smokers feel sick after a strong cigar I wonder if anyone else sometimes questions themselves if its really all worth it?

That's kinda strange, since nicotine intake will *increase* the blood sugar levels. Nicotine makes the body produce cortisol, which increases both blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

It happened to me the other night for the first time that i can remember.....I usually smoke 2-3 cigars a day and prefer full bodied smokes.

It was about 10:00PM and it was my 3rd ( and last!) cigar of the day. A LFD Double Ligero, special release, 6 3/4 x 47, with the pigtail head. Man, about half way through I started getting a little light-headed and then about 3/4 way through the sick stomach feeling started coming on (at this point the cigar was laid down) I never did throw up, but I sure felt bad for about and hour. This thing must have been loaded with Nicotene.

It will be awhile before I tackle another one of these babies! And if i start getting that light-headed feeling I will let that be a warning to pt the stick down, then maybe it won't progress to the sick stomach feeling.
