Acid Reflux
I have had this happen to me on occasion. Doesn't matter what type or time, I'm having my cigar. Comes out of the blue mostly on the last third. Causing me to put out some premium cigars. I don't relight, unless it's on the spot. What a waste.
Just wondering if, any of you guys experience this. If so, how do you fix the problem?

I ran into this problem when I first started smoking cigars, but it has pretty much disappeared from my smoking experience.
Try munching some Tums or Rolaids 15 or 20 minutes before you smoke...preventative medicine.
Still a newb
Yeah acid reflux sucks.. especially when your smoking a good cigar. Pepto bismol works ok for me sometimes, or if I drink a glass of milk i find it helps a bit too not sure why though.

Try eating something before you smoke.

I think if you are getting acid reflux you are doing exactly the right thing by putting the smoke down. Your body is trying to tell you that something is irritating it. Why mask the symptoms and keep aggrevating the situation? It's kind of like putting the fork down when you're full.
Because cigars are good?

Yeah, they are... but your body is gooder.
As long as it's happening occasionally I would just put them down when it happens. If it's happening all the time, see a doctor.

Well, I guess because the alternative is not getting to enjoy the cigar.My favorite food, tex-mex, fires up the reflux everytime....but I ain't givin that up either.

Well, the cure for allergies is being exposed to them... maybe it's the same for acid reflux.

I haven't heard of a relationship between smoking cigars and acid reflux.
However, the antacids should help. It is ok to use them before a cigar in order to help with the problem. Antacids aren't really masking the problem as Shelby stated, they are actually neutralizing the acid.
But if it is an everyday problem for you, regardless of whether you are smoking or not, by all means go see a doctor.

Well said, well said.

Get the doc to prescribe you some Nexium. One a day and you're OK. Acid reflux inflames your esophagus as well making you feel like crap.
Getting rid of excess weight and cutting down on smoking and drinking also helps.

I only get heartburn if I eat lots of hot shit, or lots of food with tomatoes in it. I take a zantac 75 if I know Im going to be eating something like that.

The first time I read the title of this thread I thought someone was reviewing the new offering from Drew Estates
