Can't imagine inhaling a strong cigar. Maybe inhaling a little bit of smoke from a weak, mild cigar is do-able without gagging your head off. Try inhaling a full bodied cigar they way you would a cig or less legal smoke & see what happens. I know guys who inhale convenience store stuff a little and they can't handle a "real cigar" even not inhaling. Try a strong cigar and inhale a LITTLE, LITTLE smoke through your nose. When your nostrils stop burning and your eyes stop watering, let us know how you feel. And welcome from SC.
