Why should I eat something first?
I was in my local B&M last week looking for some new sticks to try. The manager recommended a La Flor Dominicana Oro Tubo Maduro. When I bought it he told me that I should eat something before I smoke it. Now I know I'm new to the cigar world, but I have never had to eat something before I smoke my pipe. What's the reasoning behind this?

Yes smoking a strong cigar on an empty stomach can sometimes not be a great idea. Also head over to the New guy thread and introduce yourself!

I normally always have a cigar after a meal. But on the few occasions I've gotten ill I like to take about a teaspoon of honey and put it under my tongue.

You missed an opportunity to ask him why. It could be because of possible nicotine poisoning or it could be that it complements a meal really well. Getting his take could have been quite useful, especially if he has ideas on what to eat beforehand.

Re: Why should I eat something first?
You're definitely right but it kind of caught me off guard so I didn't think about it.

Re: Why should I eat something first?
Strong cigars should be after meal, just as a light cigar after a meal isn't as splendid.

That candy trick never worked too well for me. Once the green monkey crawls on my back only sweet time will help. I've been green around the gills a couple of times after big meals while drinking sugary sodas. Maybe I'm just a vag.

Yeah, definitely been green a few times when I first started. I will never forget the time I went for a run and came back and smoked a relatively strong cigar. To this day, I have yet to smoke that same cigar. I believe my blood sugar was low from running, which leads me to believe adding a little sugar if I am feeling the strength of a cigar will minimize some sickness.
