What is the best way to prevent sickness after a cigar other than "maning up"?

Kinda depends. Best school of thought is have some food in your stomach, fuller cigars such as man o war oy joya de Nicaragua are best after a good meal. Some of the lighter ones you can do on an empty stomach. Smoke slowly and if all else fails a trick if you're feeling woozy and sick, put a teaspoon of sugar on the back of your tongue.

I agree with everything thats been said, just take your time and savor the cigar, they arent meant to be smoked fast. Don't inhale, thats been said. Build up a tolerance and make sure to stay hydrated and eat before you smoke. Even mild-medium bodied cigars can get you on an empty stomach. Stick around, there a lot of great guys and tons of info here

The best way to prevent it is to not smoke cigars you aren't ready for. As someone already touched on, start mild. Work your way up. Your palate will change as you go and be sort of a guide.

Sugar! Drink something sweet while smoking or when you first start feeling sick. It was in an article in C.A. a while back.

Yeah, someone told me to grab a soda right after if you are starting to feel nicotine sick - shakes, sweats, upset stomach.

well consider yourself lucky. My poor buddy got sick after eating a huge burger and fries meal. I warned him not to smoke after he ate because thats how i learned. but at least he felt better after he puked. so thank you everyone for all the advice. it has definatly helped improve my cigar experience!

Eat a big meal and don't smoke something that's under fermented.
