cigar 'kick'

[El-palmaro]

question here guys; I had a fuller cigar on an empty stomach lately, and it gave me one HELL of a kicking.
what I wanted to know is, are there any ways to counteract this? and was the root cause the nicotine? thanks a bunch

The secret is a full meal!

Don't smoke on an empty stomach You will get used to nicotine too overtime so it won't effect you as much.

Something sweet like chocolate or coke (not sugar free obviously) when you've finished can take the sickness away if you've overdone it.

Smoked a PSDN4 before breakfast once when it was sunny and i ended up crawling from the end of my garden back to bed.

So eat a nice hefty meal and dont skip on a nice sweet pudding (i find rice pudding with a spoon of jam and chopped almonds works a treat) and have something sweet to eat/drink while you smoke.

Or you could smoke ACID cigars instead they are sweet to start with.

right, explains a lot then! I'll be sure to avoid the stronger ones early on! thanks guys
PSD4 in the morning, I'd be in the same predicament reaver! haha!
suppose you have to respect the Cuban

You said the answer in your question mate, "empty stomach". There are many things that can effect it, food as you said, how quickly you smoke it, time of day as well can have an effect. Just have something to eat before hand, its not a science, you don't have to have 80g of carbs etc. Just simply smoke your cigars after a meal is the best way I've found of overcoming it. My motto is this - "Eat like a king, smoke like a king". Follow that and you'll be golden

Having coffee with a cigar can also make the effects worse

This is where being a bodybuilder is very helpful for me......I eat at least 6 meals a day. So always in a state of readiness to smoke a cigar

Although I don't drink it at any other times I do like to have an ice cold can of full sugar Coke at hand in case the cigar I'm smoking delivers any surprises!

[Reaver2145]

I hear if you can get hold of it the Mexican market coke is far better than the English/American stuff because it uses real sugar and not just sweeter.

I'll never forget having a non-cuban whilst on my travels to the USA that properly kicked me on my ass.

It was a Hoyo de Monterry Excalibur that was a good number of years old (the cello was almost brown it was so yellow!).

Anyways, I smoked the cigar and than tried to stand up. BAM. I felt like I was drunk! Never felt anything like it before or since...
