Finally got to smoke a cigar after 3-4 months!!

Went to the local B&M this past weekend and got some Opus X and a NUB to try out.

Heard so much about NUB, that I figured it'd be the best time to try it. WHAT A WRONG MOVE!

I dunno if it was because I just recovered from a bad cold, or the long hiatas from cigars, but that sucker was STRONG! I acted like I was freakin drunk after smoking that thing. I was dizzy, words were slurred, and I puked afterwards.

I have to go back to some mild-medium smokes, cuz I do not want to experience that again. Flavor was good, but just the strenght was overpowering.

Gonna go back to the B&M and smoke something lighter.

Andrew

Congrats on your come back :smiley20:

Too bad that NUB was a little too strong for you. They're one of my fav's. Which one did you have, habano, connecticut or cameroon? I'd have to say I like the habano the most.

Good to have you back brother!

What nub curled you up? I like the Habano, but I can't stand the Conn. :smiley11:

That's kinda funny to me because the Nubs I've tried were mild to med. I know that feeling though. Had an operation once and didn't smoke for a couple of months. Went out one night for a couple of beers and a cigar, and ended up miserable when I got home. Maybe felt a little green, but had one healluva a headache and couldn't even sleep. Welcome back. :smiley11::smiley11:

Am i the only person here who has never thrown up or even gotten the slightest bit sick from a cigar? i really dont understand how it happens so often.

I'd have to say I've never thrown up from a cigar. I did though get really light headed. The first cigar I ever had I inhaled the whole thing like a champ. I felt really light headed but didn't pray to the porcelain god. :smiley37:

I know the feeling! I haven't been smoking too many cigars recently due to school and work (1 more semester of school left for me !!!!, then i get to cram like hell for the bar). The damn smoking ban doesn't help either. Oh well I think I might pick up the pace over my break, I'm planning on buying an outdoor heater.

Mark, where have you been? I feel like you and Andrew are off smoking cigars with out me!:smiley6:

Welcome back!!

Rich

I threw up once from smoking something. :smiley2: Or was the coughing and the beers. Hard to remember, that was over twenty years ago.

I have never been sick, but lightheadedness is an often occurence with strong sticks. The Nub i had was a cameroon and i thought it was kinda weak and flavorless. maybe i got a bad one though.

I've got some Gran Habano Rosado Toro's that will put you in a cold sweat. It's better to smoke these after a meal. They're good cigars, just way too much nicotine for one dose. http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/laug...ile_lachuh.gifhttp://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/real...xxrotflmao.gifhttp://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/geno/rofl.gif

It was the Habano......460 I think. Sucker was a large guage.

Considering I haven't smoked for a while, I don't think that was a wise choice....especially the gauge size.

I've gone back to the B&M a couple of times and have been successful.

OH how I miss smoking a good cigar.

BTW, went to this local steak place "Ray's the Steak" in Arlington, VA and got a 28oz Bone-In Ribeye..........PHENOMINAL!!!!!

I wish I had smoked after that.

Mark and Jon, when we gonna smoke?
