they seem to be fine, no burn issues, and no harsh tastes.

Ty, I'd say the glass top sounds like it has a good seal. My coolerdor fluctuates that much. I think it has more to do with temperature changes throughout the day than anything else.

Unless you are paying a membership fee, always buy some cigars from the facility. If you are paying a membership fee, you should still buy a few cigars from them periodically. If you bring in your own cigars to smoke, even after buying theirs, be discrete, don't wave a cigar that can't be bought there in the staffs face (take the band off after lighting). If the facility doesn't have a liquor license, don't bring your own alcohol in without checking with the owner/manager first. If you have some cigars that they don't sell there, consider gifting one every now and then to the owner/manager/staff, it can go a long way. Oh, and smoking infused and flavored cigars are usually frowned upon. |

Also, try not to talk about other B&Ms you frequent or online catalogs. I know a guy who was banned from a place for discussing another lounge to customers. |

Ya I learned the no acid rule real quick the first time I lit one up. The guys there were great thow really introduced me to other cigars that I enjoy much more then I ever did a acid, they even donated a few sticks to me after the demanded I put it out. I think that is how I got my hands on my first Olivia V.

So, does nicotine raise or lower your blood sugar? I see people on this forum mentioning that it lowers your blood sugar, but when I search the internet, nicotine seems to raise your blood sugar. I know I must be missing something here.

When we first start a cigar, the blood-sugar level rises but since it takes a while to smoke a cigar that supply slowly diminishes. Then nicotine circulating in the bloodstream prior to metabolism tends to collect in the pancreas, causing the pancreas to produce more insulin than normal. The excess amount of insulin causes blood-sugar to drop, resulting in nausea, high blood pressure, and other undesireable effects that we sometimes experience with cigars. Consumption of sugar gives the insulin something to break down, causing blood sugar to rise and mitigating the short-term effects of nicotine on the pancreas. So, the fastest & best antidote to nicotine toxicity is sugar.

ah, great answer thanks!
![]() Funny though, I did have a good lunch, smoked my cigar (an Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight III) soon after that I took a long nap. When I woke up, I felt a bit shaky, I then ate something, drank a bottle of water, felt fine shortly after. I guess my blood sugar was still low despite my lunch. I'm still a newbie at this, been at this for a week or so, probably on my 9th cigar, this is really the first time I felt I had a minor problem with it. Quote:
