Cigar high?

[bigpoppapuff]

are you inhaling??...if you are,you shouldn't....ever...

if you're not...it probably is a case of the cigar being a bit too strong for your tastes....time of day and what,if anything,you've eaten also might be the problem...

Welcome to the board.

Just curious, how did you pick your handle?

Welcome to the boards from Canada!

Another thing in addition to eating before smoking a cigar is that if you experience that feeling then try having something like a coca-cola. It helps get rid of the nicotine effect.

Thank you all for your replies. My current weapons of choice are bolivar petit coronas and la rica robustos, both of which are heaven to taste and give me the headiness. I am always pretty much full of food but I am also quite sensitive to a lot of drugs and chemicals.
The cigars I choose tend to be quite mild, I do not really go for the stronger stogies as I am still trying to learn to fully appreciate the tastes.

I generally smoke my weekly Cigar on a friday night with a can of no-alcohol beer.
I never inhale, I did my reading extensivly before hand, everything from cutting to lighting to tasting

My name? I couldn't say but consider this: I used to be 20 stone with a 46 inch waist, now I am 12.8 stone with a 34 inch waist and a career in the fitness and leisure industry.

Congrats on the slimming! You can afford a cigar now and then I would say!

Well when I first started smoking, I smoked cigars way too fast, and always got a cigar high. I learned to slow the fuck down, then I no longer have that problem. So that may be why you get a cigar high, so try slowing it down and maybe that will help.

@ Monk, well it was a few years back now.

@ Cigar no baka, I am a fairly slow smoker but I suppose it could be even slower

Color me stupid... What is Stone? Is that body fat %???

[Shelby07]

A stone is a measure of weight. 1 stone = 14 lbs.

Edit: Here's some more

[Dickson]

I have one stone. Doesn't weigh anywhere near that much!!!!!

[JStrider]

Its from the nicoteen as others have said already...

when I first started smoking I smoked a really full bodied smoke on an almost completely empty stomach...

bout 1/3 of the way thru I started getting a little light headed and dizzy, but I kept with it cuz it was a good cigar

then about 2/3 of the way thru I was really really dizzy and was in a cold sweat... but still it was a good cigar

finally when I finished it off I was way dizzy in a cold sweat, shaking and feeling naucious

was a good cigar... but I sure learned my lesson about eating before smoking a cigar I'm not familiar with....

[Chubbawubba]

Ace, that explains it then. I am overly sensitive to nicoteine. I am not complaining though. I feel great after smoking my Cigars, best I have felt since I quit drinking 4 years ago.

stone eh? I have stones in my yard.
