Cigar Buzz or OMG I think I'm gonna...Or Oops, my rookie is showing.

I have a couple of questions the other night I was smoking my second Opus X when towards the end I got such a buzz it made me sick and I ended up emptying my stomach. Why did this happen and how can I prevent it from happening again.

I have extra bundles of smokes sitting in my bookcase, How do I maintain these since I cannot fit them into my humidore, or will they be ok as long as I do not open them.

And finally, How far down do you prefer to smoke a cigar, down to the band, down to the butt. Does this affect the flavor of the cigar or is this just a preference.

Thanks in advance everyone.  Robert

I generally say smoke a cigar only after you eat something. Smoke a full bodied cigar on a fuller stomach. Also smoking a cigar slowly will help you as well.

Yea, that is all solid advice. After first reading it I was going to add the part about smoking slowly but the lil Squirrel beat me to it! haha That is a big thing though. With something as strong as the Opus I try to smoke where a robusto will last me an hour to an hour and 20 minutes.

Hey robert, It may be the way you were smoking ( to fast) or it nay be your tolerance to the nicotine, but full /very full cigars sometimes hit me that same way.. I remember the CAO Brazilia, and a Cuban Bolivar, hitting me pretty hard. And the Cusano, either 1959 Rare Cameroon or 1961 Sungrown, I can't remember which but one made me stop halfway because it was a powerhouse. Also It may have been I smoked fairly early in the day before eating.

When you say "the other night I was smoking my second Opus X," do you mean your second ever, or your second that night? Cuz smoking 2 of those in one sitting could leave your clammy and unsettled no matter how much you'd eaten.
