I can’t remember my first. It was a maduro from a buddy’s Thompson sampler. Another friend declared “the dark ones are stronger” so he took a lighter colored one and got sick. None of us knew what we were doing, but from smoking pipes I figured inhaling wasn’t an option. That saved me whereas it didn’t save my friend.

Also, we were shooting guns at the same time. One of those friends passed away last year. I sure do miss him.

I’ve never been sick enough to throw up. I’ve been a bit woozy, but that cleared up quickly.

I did smoke a cigar while being “under the weather”. It wasn’t a pleasant experience. Turns out I had the ‘Rona.
