Oooooooo...now this is truly scary. Next thing...I'm not sure what the next thing is?!

Some 7-10 days ago I smoked four cigars in one night. It just happend to be a very pleasent evening after 10pm, cooler then normal in this area with a light breeze and I ended up staying up all night until 6am and ended up smoking 4 cigars thur out the night into the morning. I sat on the back patio and watched moves and surfed the internet and CS site. It was AWSOME! My wife thinks I'm surely crazy!

I smoked 3 in a row at the CRA event with 300 other guys smoking at the same time. I got back to the hotel and curled up in the fetal position for the rest of the night.

If you are alive tomorrow, you deserve some kind of prize. Or at least to be admitted into a scientific study

What??? I smoke 3-4 no problem. This must be some kind of joke.

i've never had more than two in a day. although on my birthday i had a RyJ 1875 bully around noon and a Padron 1926 at around 9 or 10, but i felt that if i were to stay up for a couple hours after finishing the 1926 i probably could've had another cigar, but it probably would have to be something mild.

[Bruzee]

I just recently had a three day period where I smoked 10. I was sick the third day (major migraine) and couldn't smoke for a couple days. You'll feel it tonight when you lie down.

About two weeks ago smoked 4 cigars, and fisnished off a tin of Kodiak. I do not recommend this. Had my first smoke at noon last one at midnight, just chewed through out the day

Well it did take me yesterday to recover and was very tired yesterday because I stimulated me so much that I could not fall asleep until 2am. I was still able to work out yesterday evening.

We have had especially nice nights this weekend here in michigan. We had a fire on the deck last night and burned some apple wood and it was hard to stay away from the stogies!

Until they come up with injectible nicotine cigars it is.

Most I've done in a day is seven. All pretty strong ones as that's all I smoke. If the nic starts getting to ya just drink a soda and it's all good.

Hmm, I think it'll be a three'er today.

[hornitosmonster]

Only have done two. Couldn't imagine doing 4 cigars in one night

Smoking without inhaling is a very inefficient delivery system for nicotine.
I believe the actual amount of nicotine absorbed into the blood stream is a very small % of the actual nicotine content of the raw product. Also, a cigar is consumed over a period of time allowing the body to metabolize a portion of the absorbed nicotine. While herfing with friends yesterday I smoke 8 or nine over a 10hr period. I think everyone consumed at least 5 or 6 and they left early or came late.

The facts are perfectly...factual (and it's not a joke, Homebrewer ). But of course we aren't ingesting all of the nicotine, and the body breaks down the nicotine we do get faster than we can smoke it. I just thought I would put up a comical presentation of the facts here, as I thought it applied

[BroncoHorvath]

I think I would be dead also if some of those scientific facts were true... I smoke daily, at least 2 after every work day, and I'll smoke at least 5-6 cigars both on Saturday and Sundays. I like to smoke big cigars (54-60 gauge), and usually medium to full bodied depending on the food I've got in me. When I go to Cuba each year, during a week, I will smoke 3-3/12 boxes during my 1 week stay....

When I started reading the first few posts, I thought I was in trouble... but after reading later posts, I felt relieved trhat I'm not the only cigar nut here

[Homebrewer]

I would be interesting if you could measure the actual mg of nicotine in your system at any one time. Someone could invent a breathalyzer for cigar nutz.
