cigar high?

pawelwny1

here's the situation. I'm a cigarette smoker and I know what a nicotine high feels like. Smoking a Churchill cigar about halfway down I start getting nauseous and a lot more dizzy than with a cigarette. People have used the term "cigar high." Toughs or comments? Maybe I should just smoke a smaller cigar.

I'm going to ask the most obvious question given the info provided...you didn't inhale, did you?

pawelwny1

I've never tried any I really liked. I just don't like how they feel in my hand or when taking a draw maybe that affects how I always feel like they are lacking something.

Kind of an off topic reply but I sometimes get high off cigars. Not in the way the OP was talking about but I will get a rush of euphoria and excitment at the enjoyment I am having.

can you elaborate on what a "powerhouse" cigar is? I think that might be key to the situation in my humidor.

The meal after the meal! Ah!

i asked a serious question. I don't think that was a serious answer.

Here is a serious answer... When I used the term Powerhouse I meant a cigar that affects me in the head and stomach. A strong full bodied, full flavor smoke that has to be smoked slowly and should be avoided by novice. The kind that give you a nicotine buzz and make you feel like you need to lay down or even puke. They make you re-think your cigar choice that day. For me that would be Oliva Series V Maduro, Cusano LXI Sungrown, or Opus X Anejo (veijo).. La Flor Dominicana and Camacho as well as others offers up some full bodied cigars as well. You'll know it when you smoke it the first time, and then approach it with caution the next time.

Simple truth. You are getting about a half-pack-to-a-pack of N-bomb per stogie. Cigars are no substitute for nicotine. They are one and the same. Different beast, but a beast nonetheless. When you finally admit that a cigar just wont do, you have arrived my friend. Many boozers have a zero chance of quitting. The nic factor is way too strong. Quite drinking and you'll quite smoking, plain and simple. For many of us booze=smoking. Relaxation and cigar equals choice (in moderation). Good luck.

+1 The warden said I can go to Dubai again this year for my Christmas present, so I'll be able to partake in both the cigars AND the alcohol.
