Is this my body telling me that it was a crappy cigar and to never buy it again?

I smoked a Romeo Y Julieta 1875 last night and I felt pretty darn good!

Anyone else experience this?
If you felt nauseus, light-headed, and quesy/clammy, and broke out in a cold sweat, that could mean that the tobacco in the cigar wasn't cured, processed or aged properly...often you can smell the ammonia in the cigar...when that happens it's because of the high nicotine content and tar left in the leaf...see page 68, Complete Idiot's guide to Cigars...
