I smoked a Montesino Toro (recommended from the cigar shop guy) a couple of days ago. I felt buzzed, my stomach hurt and felt pretty gnarly for a while. Didn't have a big meal or drink anything with the cigar.

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...

If you felt "buzzed" it was probably the nicotene. Try drinking a glass of Cold water when you start feeling sick. It always works for me.

After the first cigar i had i felt sick to my stomach and i went home and threw up. It was because i had tobacco in my stomach. I didnt notice it but i had sallowed alot throughout the night and my body didnt like it. If you felt flakes go into your mouth and u didnt spit them out then that could be the cause for this. Hopefully this won't happen again so you will be able to smoke all of your cigs but if for any reason you feel sick more often, send some of us those cigars.
