Have you ever smoked a cigar that makes your stomach a little queasy?? It kinda starts in your chest and moves into your stomach ...

I smoked a "new" cigar last night that did this... The cigar itself was perfectly made, burned great and produced a lot of smoke. The taste was spicy and pretty good. I ate dinner at 6:30 and smoked this at about 9:00pm, so my stomach was not empty..

What causes that?? A very full bodied cigar? Tobacco from a certain area??

Anyone else experience this?? Anyone know why it happens??

Low

Is this a question for the "Lord Slim Says" board?? LOL

I liken that to what happens if you don't spit while chewing tobacco. It used to happen to me, but I got used to it. If I'm smoking something really strong, I still get the queesiness. I guess you and I need to smoke more often to get used to it!

Yes this has happened to me on a number of occasions. I once smoked a candela that actually made me hurl.

I just figured it was because I don't smoke cigars often. But it doesn't happen all the time so maybe its a combination of the cigar and what I ate and drank.

Yup,it happened to me also. I ate dinner,drank about 14 or 15 shots of Tequila,I don't remember. I smoked a cigar,then ralphed. I don't why that damn cigar made me do that. X

Riiiiight xibbumbero, the cigar did it.... not the tequila 😉 LOL Well I for one can say that cigars give me that same feeling sometimes. I thought I was alonse. It is not everytime, but sometimes it does do that. Sometimes it just stays in my chest and then goes away. I am also wondering what causes it.

Had it been a lemon flavored cigar or had it had salty undertones you probably would have been just fine.

Interesting. I typed in the brand of candela that I smoked in my original post but it has disappeared...gone up in smoke you might say.

I was going to post a similar query titled "Olivia O-my god." I had my first one of these babies after a full day of completing a long honey-do yardwork list. With only a bagel and 3 cups of java in my tummy I sat down on the patio about 6pm before dinner, pulled this baby out of the humi and grabbed a frosty malt beverage. I was probably pretty dehydrated and by the time I finished the cigar and beer I was loopy. Felt just like a 14-yr old taking his first dip of Copenhagen. I was sick to my stomach and my head was spinning. I had to lie down. Fortunately, it passed after about 20min and I avoided booting all over the place (I'd like to leave that activity to the pregnant wife). Unfortunately, I'm now hesitant to have any more of this stick that has received rave reviews here (I only had one from a sun-grown sampler so I won't have a bunch to trade). I guess that is what they mean when you hear "smoke this one after a big meal in the evening."

Plabonte: Please check your email. Thanks! 🙂

Got it Steve. Thanks for the clarification.

Ahh....i think we can all remember the first cigar that got us there....i think it has to do with jumping to a more fuller-bodied cigar...

For me it was the Partagas Black Label...great cigar, but it takes a while to get used to...first one i smoked i only got down 2 inches before i started feeling light-headed/queasy...now i am glad to say, i dont have that problem...at least not with that cigar...

Hey Low, I just realized you didn't identify the culprit that sent you for a loop. What was the "new" cigar?

I've smoked full bodied cigars before, this just hit me differently.

Petrus Fortus Anejo 1...

Didn't want to create a stir on boards... might want to buy more at a good price... Oh, well...

Besides making me queasy, this was a good cigar, IMO... as stated above, one of the most perfect burns and ash I had in a while... tons of smoke...

Lowman --- that has happened to me a couple of times, usually when I smoked a full bodied cigar with lot's of Ligero leaves ...

... do you ocassionaly inhale the smoke? Years ago, I smoked Camel 'non-filters' ... so I sometimes find myself inhaling without being aware of it.

Cigars have a considerable amount of nicotine in them, some reports I've read claim that one full bodied cigar can have as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes ... but reports can be pretty one-sided, depending on who is doing the study.

I attributed my experiences to a mild case of nicotine poisoning (or overdose) ... as I actually felt myself losing color (turning green), I got weak in the knees, and the world started spinning, and I came very close to hurling. It lasted for almost an hour, before I felt better ... and that was after drinking a large glass of cold water and lying down until it went away.

Was it a power house? Like a JDNA?

Oh, sorry, I started that post a few mins ago... I have some of those coming in a trade! Eh Gads!! STOP THE PRESSES!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! SAVE YOURSELF FORGET ABOUT ME!!!

Slim, I had that same feeling once. It was teriable... Then they recounted the votes, and Bush won!

hey, Hey, HEY... Let's not get politics mixed in with my queasy stomach... Don't want to make it worse!!!

Thanks for the info...

This has happened before but don't recall what I was smoking then. Maybe it is the fuller smokes. But I usually do smoke med to full bodied?? Maybe this was full to fuller??

Lowman, your queasiness is simply you're body's reaction to self-induced poisoning....Enjoy.
