Do a friend a favor...give them the hiccups.

Newbies smoking Opus X's.

Well, what other Fuente would do that to a newbie, unless he was talking about just the regular A. Fuente. In which case, I'd say HOLD THE OPUS X'S!!!!

If/when I smoke strong, full bodied cigars, I can get the hiccups too! I've learned how to handle them, but it still happens from time to time. Usually it happens when I'm outside working on something and not taking my time smoking it "correctly"!

It's actually not that funny. I was discussing cigarette smoking with a couple friends the other night. One of them asked me about cigar smoking. He was running low on cigarettes, and I told him if you need more tobacco, I've got three large sticks of it in my briefcase.

He asked me about the cigar smoking experience and if I'd ever tried cigarettes. I told him I tried it for a day about 27 years ago, and at the end of the pack had already decided it wasn't for me. I told him that cigar smoking is something for a "special time," not like David Letterman and some others who got involved in "the fad" back in the 90's. I told him it was meditative. That's why I can't really laugh at what TinyTim said, because if you're not paying attention, you WILL start smoking it "incorrectly", and hiccoughs can definitely result.

So can an involuntary inhale, and THAT is a most unpleasant thing to do with a cigar. I know, I know, I'm going to hear from the 21 year olds who "have been inhaling gigantic cigars" since they started smoking at 16, and with no ill effects whatsoever. That of course, will bring derision and questions about my manhood.

:dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :sm_angel:

I don't know why people inhale cigars.....

I remember when I was 15 I had a bundle of drugstore cigars I somehow got from walgreens...
I was a t a party drinking schnopps.. (sorry if you've heard this before)

Anyway, every time I puffed I swallowed the smoke!! Every freaking time!! I don't know what my deal was...I told my buddy, he tried and did the same thing...

Needless to say I ended up leaning on a tree with my hand across my stomach and a acidic peppermint stream dripping from my mouth...it was a painful night....I haven't had schnopps since....
:wink:

I did that last week, and I coughed quite a bit. I dont smoke cigars that much, but will smoke one with my dad whenever I visit him. For myself, I will only buy a cigar occassionally, and therefore dont mind buying something expensive ($5-15). But my dad smokes cigars all day, and he smokes cheap ones. When I was younger I didnt see him smoke them too often (I guess mom didnt like him smoking around the kids) but when I did he used to smoke Swishers all the time. How he has got on to backwoods. So yall can make fun of me for smoking cheap cigars
