Ginseng Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Montecristo Sublimes 2008 EL. Smoked one from a box that I hadn't touched in years. It was rich, very strong. And good god, the the nicotine was abundant. After I laid down the stub, I had floaty stomach, woozy head, the whole nine yards. An enjoyable if challenging smoke.

I can't wait to see these evolve. Good to know. My recent box is just on the way... never happened and not looking for it. Snuss made me strong against nicotine haha. I remember those days when I was dipping and after a hard day and lots of strong icelandic tobacco made me feel dizzy...but that's all I had After all I will definitely be careful with JLS1 and Cazzies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, certainly not to be underestimated: In a regular smoker, depending on constitution and genetic predisposition, the clearing half-life of nicotine from the body is about 30 to 60 min. So quite easy to imagine in how far smoking pace has a considerable effect on the absolute titre. While you are still taking it up during smoking it is already being cleared in considerable amounts from your body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foursite12 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 @Fugu On the uptake side, I assume that most of the absorption comes through the soft tissues on the inside of the mouth and that the rate obviously would be increased manifold if we were to inhale. I'm guessing that the absorption efficiency is also increased through retrohale, when nasal passages are added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc2001 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Happened to me a few weeks ago after an Oliva MB3. I had jogged 5 miles that morning, I was dehydrated, I had nothing to eat all day and I smoked too fast. Broke into sweats, queasy, light-headed. I know better than to smoke on an empty stomach, but usually I can sense it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Twain Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Party Shorts can be powerhouses, for sure. I had some 1999 Partagas Petit Coronas that I finally sold off, they were way too powerful for me. Most recent was an Oliva Serie V Torpedo that had an overpowering jalapeno pepper flavor. I had to pitch it after 30 minutes. I have not found the Serie V Melanio to be too full bodied at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love a good kick in the but from a cigar from time to time. Another was an AF Anejo recently. Head was swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact with the oral mucosa is the main determining factor in cigar and pipe smokers. I for one, sometimes like to keep the smoke in my mouth for a little longer to savour it and to very slowly exhale. This of course is not a too 'good' habit, neither nicotine- nor in general healthwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigarsandmalts Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Saint Luis Rey Regio. Just a week ago, after a full meal decided to light one with a friend. No booze with it, it smoked wonderfully all the way to the nub. But when I got up to leave I nearly fainted and was walking around like I was sloshed. Had to sit down for a bit - then had another cigar once we got back to the hotel 30minutes later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My incredibly stupid decision to smoke a La Flor Dominicana double ligero chisel on an empty stomach led to 2 hours of lying on the sofa and having cold sweats. Never again! I had the same experience with the same cigar about 6 years ago. Still remember it like it was yesterday. 2 hours of deep recliner sitting because I was afraid to move.

jp1979 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 A couple years ago I smoked a La Palina Kill Bill and then a Kentucky Fire Cured back to back. Sick as a dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been sick from a cigar like that, before or since. In fact it somewhat cured me. I haven't got a nicotine buzz in over a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnInCleveland Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 SLR DC. It was more mild than expected for the first half but I realized by the midway point I had a wicked head buzz. By the last third I was legitimately cigar tipsy, apparently 100 degree heat, 2 bike rides, 3 large gin and tonics and a Dc are all it takes to test my Constitution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liuzzi Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 There are many cigars which can do this to me when I'm smoking with empty stomach, the last one was La Escepcion Don Jose.. started to feel dizzy on the first third already but the cigar was so good I nubbed it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFatHokie Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Been thinking about this one for a week. It has been a while since a cigar has put me on my arse. But the one I can remember was the afternoon my wife and I got married (8/3/06...yeh, 10 years next week and no, I don't have her a gift yet). I was still somewhat a "noob" to cigars...I knew what I liked and smoked a bunch of those but hadn't "branched out". Well, we were in Myrtle Beach, SC and earlier that week had stopped by a "cigar emporium" along Rt. 17. Being inexperienced as to what the cigar world held in store for me, I asked the gentleman to pick me a few cigars since I had only tried certain ones (Fuentes, Padrons, and a few other odd cigars). Well, he picked one he called a "pre-embargo" cigar...had my doubts but rolled with it as a noob would do. So...the afternoon after we got married, I fired up this "pre-embargo" cigar while we were sitting on the beach (95*F and I was half drunk already). About half way through, my head started spinning, my sweat started sweating, and I felt as if I were going to toss cookies right there in the sand. Told my wife I wasn't feeling well, went back to the room and passed out on the bed. When she asked me what made me sick, I told her it must have been the seafood we had eaten the night before. Never let her know it was the cigar and never tried another one of those "pre-embargos" either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonameno Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hello Fellow FOHers, Like the Prez, it was a little cigar that took me for a ride; it was the Ramon Allones small club! Thank you, Curtiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 About a two years ago and I hadn't smoked for about 2 months. Decided to smoke a ERDM Choix Supreme on an empty stomach and after just getting back from a weight lifting session at the gym. Also had already downed a martini. After finishing the cigar I sat down for lunch and man did I start feeling weird. I tried to get up and sit down and I could hardly walk right. As I tried to lay down I nearly passed out and started having the sweats. To this day, I can't believe the cigar that did me in was a ERDM. I've had almost every cigar in the book and that was the only time I nearly fainted. The only other time was when I first started smoking and I had 2 Camacho Pre-Embargos back to back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hayes Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Being an occasional smoker I like to make the most of it usually, which at times has really brought me unstuck. Tackling a young robusto, especially Partagas D4, CORO or BBF have brought me undone on numerous occasions. Partagas 898 are also notorious.
