Bad Reaction?

I enjoy the Kiki Green label and my wife smokes them all the time,decenty cigars. I dont reach for the reds much but if you ever get some Brown label give them a try also. Welcome to CS and enjoy the place

mauied1101's advice is great you gotta try a lot of cigars to see what you like

When I got started I got queasy and sick for three reasons as far as I can figure.

First, I sometimes got green tobacco in my cigars (Thanks, General Cigar, more specifically Punch). You'll know if you get green tobacco, as soon as you smoke the green tobacco part of the cigar you'll get a massive nicotine infusion, you'll likely get a iron-spike-in-the head headache and get very queasy.

Second, you may be smoking them too fast. Slow down, pace yourself, the slower you smoke the more even the smoke will be, and in my experience, the more flavor the cigar will have.

Third, make sure you have some food on your stomach before smoking strong cigars. Any good retailer can tell you if you're buying strong smokes or not, and if they can't, don't go back to that cigar shop, they don't know shit and don't deserve your business.

Welcome Tyler,

also if your friend is prone to this other than not smoking on an empty stomach he should smoke it with some coke or pepsi, this will help with the nicotine rush. Also as mentioned inhaling the cigar (or filling a room with cigar smoke without ventilation) will not help

cheers,
