Nothing seemed different to me though. I still don't think there was anything different from my perspective. After she told me to stop taking it, she said it took me 3 or 4 more weeks to get back to normal.

Did either of you find that the drug lessened your cigar smoking experience?

At the time I took chantix, I hadn't started cigars yet. It changed the flavor of the cigarettes a little for me. Made them taste more dry, or almost stale. Hard to explain.

The nicoderm patch worked fine for me, no adverse side-effects. However, I did not smoke cigars while quitting cigarettes. I would recommend if you REALLY want to quit, that you abstain from cigars as well for at least a few weeks after stopping any sort of nicotine replacement to make sure you no longer have any cravings.
