I had not yet eaten that evening, and on an empty stomach, smoked both a LFD DL 700 and an Oliva Series V Figurado. I stood up from my comfortable spot on the vintage sofa, tried to steady myself as my head began spinning, and made a mad dash for the bathroom where all hell broke loose. First and only time, my friends, and never again will I stick my foot in my mouth like that! haha

The Oliva O fooled me!!! It looks so harmless!!! I had just put the baby down for a nap. Power smoked an Oliva O and could barely stand up or function!!!

The old Maria Mancini brand from J-R in pre-outlet store days, when J-R was just a Mom & Pop shop in New York. A powerhouse - I was seeing monkeys playing saxophones.

Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario is the only cigar that ever hit me hard enough to make me physically shake, lay down and feel like I was going to puke.

I dunno whether it was the circumstances surrounding or the stick, but I had a Cienfuegos once while deployed. I worked late and had a quick dinner, I think I ate a couple chicken tacos or something, then went to our nightly herf and lit this thing up. About 2/3rds into it, I was laying on the ground, laughing like a schoolgirl. I dunno what happened...

Its between a fresh Opus Power Ranger and a Comacho Triple Maduro

1 year old Opus X (#4 i think?) made me toss on my birthday this year, but there was a large some of tequila involved so I don't think it's fair to judge.

The JdN Antano hands my ass to me every time though.

La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel- completely knocked me on my ass. In truth the only time I have ever been completely beat down by a cigar. It is the one and only one I will ever smoke. Evil does not begin to describe it. I have smoked 8 cigars back to back and never had this issue.

Hmm... me thinks you should revisit this one. Of course, I've only had the chiselitos, but the chisels can't be too much stronger. I'm voting that time you were a victim of circumstance.

A fresh Opus X gifted to me at a herf. Almost made me

I one jumped into a Jacuzzi with a Camacho hanging out of my mouth. That was the last time i smoked a cigar in a Jacuzzi. I had a dizzy spinny headache for two days.

Hmmm never had any of the above mentioned cigars. Been smoking cigars for 6 years now and only twice has a cigar kicked my ass. When I first started smoking cigars, I did a few blind buys and had gotten a Partigas Black label sampler. My 2nd cigar I ever smoked was the PB Bravo. I just picked it randomly out of my new humi...big mistake. Halfway thru I was so dizzy I thought I was gonna pass out.

Fast forward 4 years...by now I was pretty keen on what I liked and disliked. Bought a bundle of Gurkha Centurian XX's. It came with a really cool Gurkha knife (I confess thats the only reason I bought this cigar) It started out really mellow, about halfway thru I hit the fat spot and it was really creamy, then BAM. Was super dizzy, reminded me of the Partigas Black but something felt different. Then I realized I about to chum the waters. I never had a harder time trying to get to the bathroom. I gave one of these cigars to a friend who was a regular cigg smoker. I told him of my misfoutunes and he said it was the smoothest cigar he'd ever smoked.... to each his own I guess.

Only twice has a cigar beat me down. The first time was when I had a Esteban Carrera Churchill. But I attribute this to the tar oozing out of the head of the cigar after about 10 minutes. After the tar appeared it was unsmokeable. But it did knock me on my butt, if nothing else, from all the nicotine in the tar.

The other one was a Gurkha Special Edition Black Puro. Just for giggles I picked up a couple of singles from the devil site. This past weekend I decided to try one. The cigar was nice. It was smooth all the way throughout and picked up a little bit of spice towards the end. The flavor other than that was a bit monotone, but still enjoyable. IT didn't hit me until I was done. I needed to lay down for a while. My heart was racing and it took an hour or two for everything to settle down.

Camacho Triple Maduro with no lunch - kicked my butt hard one day!

Famous Nicaraguan 3000 presidente - on an empty stomach.

Followed closely by a Pepin Blue toro. Made me a little dizzy toward the end.
