Do any of you have some memories you can remember about a time when a cigar made you sick?

I can Definatley remember one of mine. I don't think I've posted it before...

I was 16 at a bonfire near the local rock corey lake where we used to fish (and stock from another lake) for Perch. It was also next to a forest preserve and pretty far away from any immediate civilization, so, far enough out the cops never came...

Anyway, like I said I was 16 and didn't drink very often. But that day I decided to drink peppermint schnops and I had purchased a bundle of nameless drugstore cigars from walgreens, but they were a step up from phillies or swishers as these were hand made...anyway I remember smoking on this stick, and every time I drew I couldn't help but swallow the smoke...Even If I tried to only pull it in my mouth, I swallowed it!! I handed it to a buddy of mine, and he had the same trouble...he only tried it once...through my stubborness I kept trying and trying. So, I soon found myself leaning over a tree with a pinky in my throat trying to relieve the pain in my stomach :barf: . What made it worse is that my friend was standing next to me laughing hysterically, forcing me to laugh pretty hard as well...it wasn't a good Combo....

any stories from you?
 
Interesting topic. I have really only had one cigar that made me sick. Partagas Black Label Pronto. It tasted rotten. I think there is such a thing as rotten tobacco. Also, dont try smoking mold.
 
Wow!!! If only I had access to the archives of the web site I spent three and a half years on. I've got plenty of stories, but they've faded along with the smoke of many cigars. And I've also become completely smart about not allowing that to happen. It can be achieved, but it will take years before you can guarantee yourself that you won't be laid out like you just got hit by Earnie Shavers and can barely raise your head up. And about the swirling in the stomach and green faced thing, hey, when your head weighs 900 pounds and the referee's count has hit 138, who needs a mirror? :mrgreen:
 
never gotten sick, occasionaly i get a little heart burn from a good stick. but i remember the first time i smoked a good cigar, it was a ryj somthing or other. it was very strong, i smoked it with a bunch of freinds and i was almost high from the thing. then we went home and watched "seven" big mistake, i was tripping big time lol. as i think back now i wonder if it had some wacky tobaci in it lol.

peppermint schnops

I don't recall ever having a cigar make me sick...but the worst drunk / sick I ever got was on peppermint shnapps. I was at the cracker barrel pub in Utica NY when I was 17...4 shots for a dollar nite....I got so drunk on P schnapps that I passed out...was sick for 2 days...

For around 10 years after that, I couldn't stand to smell peppermint....come to think of it...I still don't :)
 
I smoked a Drew Estate Ambrosia 'Spice'. It was one hell of good smoke on a killer Summer day at the park. I figured I would smoke it before I got the BBQ going...what a mistake. As I finished the
6.5 x 54 Torpedo, my head started to spin, stomach went nuts, and damned if I didn't realize I should have eaten something first. Last one that got me was a small Torano Sweet Nostalgia. Who would think a little cigar would do that? Each time, My Ol Lady just has to get in her digs,"Ha! That little smoke kick your ass?!" Oh well, it's all good. Live and LEarn. I won't smoke 'jack shite' until I eat now.

Mac,

Right there with ya'! The Partagas Black label turned me green. Honorable mention goes to "Pirates Gold," Uuugghh.

The worst that's happened to me was I got a little bit queasy while smoking my first (and only so far) Opus X. I should've eaten first I think.

Don Alexandro (Cuba Cigar maker) says to suck on a suger cube.

I have heard it works!

Misa & I both are animals with cigars - the stronger the better!
 
I heard that suger works, I have yet to try it though......

CC, any suggestions on a Cuban that you think would knock me over?
 
if Simp's question was directed toward me, then yes, I did finish the cigar. I smoked that sucker down to a nub. :p
 
the only time i wont finish a cigar is if it runs to bad to save
im there to the bitter end
 
Wow peppermint Schnapps and drug store cigars? The only thing I can think of worse than that is cigarette ash and pork sandwich.
 
I took what I could get in highschool, beggars can't be choosers....
I'm still a beggar, at least now I can choose :D
 
Hmmm, it was New Years Eve, we were about to hit 2002, and I was on a boat with my parents and a few friends. After a lovely 5 course meal, I was offered a cigar. I accepted my friends kind offer, only to realise in the taxi later that it didn't really sit with me very well. Especially after countless glasses of champagne, wine and a few whiskies!!

The taxi driver was not impressed...! :oops:
Come to think of it, nor were my parents! :roll:
