I had to really slow down due to the queasiness I felt from the strong nicotine kick. It was nothing that an aged H.Upmann Magnum 46 couldn't fix soon after!

Jeremy Festa Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Most memorable was a Cazadores. Just floored me. Felt super sick! Most recent was last month, which was an SLR Churchill, from 2007. But it was fairly cold in Brissie last month and I started to rush the last third so I could get back inside.

gweilgi Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel ... that bastard has knocked me down a couple of times. The last Cuban ... I am not entirely sure, but I suspect it was a Bolivar Royal Corona. I have a habit of preparing cigars when going out: I take off the band and clip it so all I have to do is dig out the lighter. On occasion, I do not get to smoke the cigar so it wanders into the singles drawer. Over time, a small collection of anonymised cigars accumulates and every now and then I play "cigar roulette" by picking one and trying to figure out what it is I am setting fire to. On this occasion, I had myself a brunch-time Pimms and a cigar out on the deck ... and half an hour later, I was green around the gills, dizzy, nauseous and generally feeling like I had inhaled half a dozen raw oysters smothered in raw-egg mayonnaise that had been left to mature in the sun for a couple of days.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLiquidGator Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 An Opus X Power Ranger. It put a whoppin' on me. Could not get out of my chair. A full on nicotine attack. And it was very well aged. Have a few left, but am not in a hurry to smoke one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethernut Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I LOL'ed (just a little bit) as it took me a while to recall. I think it was a Thompson Cigar Co Cigar someone gifted me (I'm ashamed to admit) [hangs head low]. But it was a beast. Reminded me of that line from Snoop Dogs song Gin 'n Juice, "..it made me choke, ain't no joke, I had to back up off it.." Of course, (and credit where credits due), I think this version suits me better - **NSFW ALERT** (fair warning) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fresh BRC can do that to you. I had one recently (8 months from factory) that kicked like a mule being gelded. When the world stopped spinning I felt like I'd been pickled in formaldehyde.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefBoyRG54 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 2008 Cohiba Lancero. Less about the strength and more because i was distracted by the video game i was playing with a friend so i smoked at an ungodly pace without realizing it....until the cold sweat started to turn on...

foursite12 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 A JLS1 bit me out of the blue a few weeks back. Not sure what to blame it on but it kicked my ass moving into the last third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLew79 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 RA Gigantes. I also drank 4 coffees with it. Chundered. Had to sleep it off. Something I never want to repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfgar Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Got the jitters and shakes a bit last week after having an Oliva Serie V followed by a Boli PC. Not sure if it was one or the other or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubergosupro69 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I don't remember what the cigar was specifically, but I can tell you that it was 6 years ago approximately, it was a non-cuban, and I was enjoying it a great deal but had to wrap up shortly. I started smoking a bit faster and soon enough I was feeling nauseous. It was the first (and last to date) time that I had experienced nicotine sickness. I quickly googled what I should do, poured myself a tall glass of water, and lay down on the couch until it passed. Fortunately no one was there to witness my misery or embarrassment!

planetary Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Never had the full nicotine bomb occur with a cigar, but I remember a time 15 years ago smoking my first bowl of Samuel Gawith 1792 which I don't care to repeat any time soon... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was very well aged. Have a few left, but am not in a hurry to smoke one. Power Rangers, moonshine and a bowl of the winning entry in a Texas chilli cook-off: the three Iron Man disciplines... Serious question though: what is the rate of loss of nicotine content in a cigar? Is there a predictable and calculable decline in the percentage per year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Strength (nic content) and youth of a stick aside, quite often it is just a matter of smoking pace. Give your liver time to get the detox done. Needs to keep the balance between nicotine intake and washout. As we are at it (warning: personal, unsupported view alert!), moisture of a stick can play a role as well, as that influences how much nic is being burned and how much volatilizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circles Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 A few months ago while I was in Belgium. I had smoked a Siglo VI, then an Edmundo over a period of 6 hours. Lots of food and drink but everything was brilliant. That is until an hour later when i lit up a Partagas P2 to give our host company having gifted him my second Edmundo. We got on a mini bus about twenty minutes after lighting the final cigars and it was boiling in there. I got nauseas instantly but didn't realise it wasn't the alcohol but rather the cigar. I felt sick deep down but i knew everything going on around me. It was a very horrible experience, worse than any drink related experiences of past I only realised the next morning that it was the cigar not the booze to blame because i woke at 4:30 am and with zero hangover. Of course all my friends and colleagues wouldn't have believed me so I kept it to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first ever HDM Epicure # 2 made me throw up a few weeks ago ?. However, I loved the taste so much that I bought a PSP 25 cab. I think I just smoked it too fast. It was rich, full flavored, complex, hints of rye, unsweet cinammon, spicey, pepper, creamy but not sweet, lots of smoke, numbed my tongue & lips. In short:. Outstanding! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
