Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

I've been fighting this head cold for a week now, and can't really smell or taste anything.

My head feels like a wet cinderblock. A cigar doesn't even sound good.

No. Why would anyone want to smoke a cigar when they are sick?

haha this

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

Depends how sick, maybe if I was somewhere between the sniffles and wet cinderblock head...

Can't smell or taste? good time to get rid of that Ghurka.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

Nope, reminds me of when I used to try to smoke a cigarette when I was sick........just can't do it.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

As soon as I start getting sick I smoke like a freaking chimney. The cold always clears up quickly. It's worked for me almost every time I've tried it.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

No, I pretty much lose any desire to smoke. I'm just now feeling good enough to smoke after fighting a bug for the last couple of weeks. It's nice to finally "want" a cigar again.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

ah no.

It's not an immune booster

Nope, hopefully I can smoke this week, haven't had once since 2/12 been fighting a sinus infection that has kicked my a$$

Cigars taste totally awful when I'm sick, so no.

DC sends love, bishes, so you feel better! Like, right now! :)

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

I try not to but sometimes I do...Definitely not worth wasting the stick though (so pick something ehh sh!ty)

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

I have smoked while sick and it isn't worth it. If you just wait and smoke when you are better you will be amazed at how good your senses are. It is nice to take some time off and come back, use the sick time for that IMHO.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

i was just thinking that same thing. Even the week off I had out of town did wonders for those first few cigars I had once I got back.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

I've tried it in the past and unless you're looking to get rid of a dog rocket, it's not worth it.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

When I'm sick is when I need the comfort and pleasure of one the most.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

Nope, if you are that sick it seems it would be a waste of a cigar if you can't taste it.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

Never...wouldn't be able to taste it.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

:lr :tu thanks, I'm trying, all I can do is take my pills and wish for the best

This is good advice, thanks homie.

I tried this last Feb. and I got sicker. I tried to smoke and drink scotch. I ended up with a 21 day cold that was a living hell. Don't do it!

My daughter was born on Feb 21, right at the time I was half-way through fighting the longest-lasting cold I've ever had (still lingering to date). That said, I couldn't pass up a couple of opportunities for some celebratory smokes outside the hospital. We were smoking some Fuente factory throwaways (no label maduro torpedo, $3/stick) so it's not like I was throwing away an OpusX.


At the time the cold it was mostly in my chest but with a good bit of sniffle drainage in the nasal area as well. What worried me most about mixing with smoke was a sore throat. Fortunately none of the above really killed the enjoyment, though I may have missed out on some more subtle flavors and other general nuances... if there were any there.

I haven't smoked since we brought my daughter home from the hospital last Friday. The cold has moved out of my chest and lodged itself directly in my sinuses for the last several days. I bit the bullet monday and visited the Dr who put me on a regiment of antibiotics, perscription cough suppressant, and ear drops. The cough and sore throat have absolved themselves for the most part, but the sinus congestion and sniffles linger... every time I blow my nose I can feel it in my ears.

That said, my wife and I are going out to dinner with a couple of friends Saturday night and the restaurant is one of the few in the city with a smoking lounge... recovered or not I'll be enjoying a Nick's Sticks Maduro Robusto with my good friend Nick... if we have time we'll be comparing/contrasting the Nick with a Perdomo Fresco Maduro Robusto as we're both curious as to how similar these two really are (with the Fresco being about $1.50 cheaper per single).

ugh i have a head cold now, sinus' are bad, cant smell a thing. I HATE THIS!!!! we are supposed to have warm weather at the end of the week also.

Re: Anybody smoke when they're sick?
 

Agreed!! no matter how expensive those things get...can't seem to find a good stick. Price does not equal quality!
