Can too many cigars make a newbie sick?

colinb913 · 04-04-2010, 07:02 PM

Today I woke up feeling great, took my little brother out to golf (shot a 38 over 9

) came home, and had a stogie. As the evening progressed I had a Man O' War, a Blue Label, a Players Club, and another Man O' War.. Thats alot for me!

Now, I feel sick, stomach ache, shaky, dizzy and tired... I was wondering if all these cigars, which I smoked in a 6-7 hour period, can make me sick...? I am pretty new to smoking, and haven't had this happen to me before. I was wondering if it could be the cigars.

Yes, it's called nicotine sickness and you dont have to be a n00b to experience it. After a long winter without to many sticks, I jumped head first into spring by smoking a handful of sticks and I ended up feeling terrible afterwards.

Those two Man O Wars did it.

Always eat something before smoking and keep sugar close by.

I've had it happen bad, twice. When I say bad, I mean the room spinning-sweaty-feel your heartbeat in your temples-bad.

Edit: First hit on google!!! Go Ca!!!!!!

I ate dinner in between number 2 and number 3...

Not too long, just chill out and maybe grab a piece of plain chocolate, sometimes it can help with the nausea.

Go try smoking a few Partagas blacks, CAO Brasilias, and Oliva Serie V's on an empty stomach and let me know how bad you hurt. j/k

It's usually not the quantity, but what kind of stuff you're smoking. Start with mild/medium bodied smokes and work your way up to the big boy stuff.

Eat something sugary or drink a coke if you're still feeling sick. That should hopefully bring you back on balance.

Also, sugar packets are a necessity for your herf/causual 4 or 5 cigars in a 6-7 hour period gear bag.
The only lasting side effect of what you have experienced is impotence.

Sugar is your friend. A sugary drink will help, but straight sugar will enter the bloodstream more quickly. A couple of teaspoons or packets will do the trick.

I got sick to my stomach after smoking an Immenso, 6x70. Not sure if it was the nicotine or that it tasted like ass.

Sometimes it happens in non-ventilated areas also. I prefer chocolate ice cream for my sugar fix
