    It's never happened to me before with a cigar. I have had dip cause me to get a little queezy but never a cigar. I think some people may use the term for the good buzz / chill they get off of a strong cigar. Who knows.

    I've had this happen a couple times, and most of the times it was not a good experiance. I've just recently had it happen and havn't smoked since nor had much of a desire to (but I know that will go away... it always does). There was once when it was a good experiance - in this instance, I wasn't feeling naucious and weak, but light-headed like I had been drinking too much. I loved that cigar, and have since been trying to convince myself to pony-up the £200 for a box...

    A Gran Habano Corojo #5 Gran Robusto 6x54 kicked my ass one time.

    I have certainly witnessed the ill effects of a cigar knocking someone on their ass -- especially when coupled with more than a few drinks. When we host and people imbibe, I'm always reluctant to allow a non-smoker to take a cigar. On more than one occassion I've had people people kneeling before one of my procelain thrones for hours as they purge and recover -- the uninitiated always get "the speech," but I always leave the decision to them -- a policy I should rethink as the failure rate seems to be approaching 50%.

    I like strong cigars. I have gotten the nic sickness once, but I learned from the experience and have not had a repeat of that event. I found no pleasure in the sweats and vomiting.

    I got crushed by a smoke once and it put me down for about 3 hours with a queasy stomache. It was a miserable experience and I don't intend on letting it happen again. I tend to smoke faster than most people, so a really strong cigar is typically not a good idea for me.

    What are some of the strongest smokes you guys have had?
    Smoke em' if you got em'

    No allure for me.

    The only cigar that did me in is the Opus xXx, Power Ranger. I don't smoke them anymore. Maybe I'll give them a shot in a year or two, but for me its like getting totally wasted on yager, and not being able to smell the stuff for years to come.
