A question for the vets

[whisky77]

Yuk!

Had this happen a couple of times, and not something you want to experience. Normally happens to me by smoking something too strong on an empty stomach. Absolutely horrible feeling.

Ive hit a cigar "whitey" a few times, usually if I smoke on an empty stomach or early in the day...tend to smoke later in the day now, usually last thing at night to wind down.

Ive had a couple of light headed moments, usually at the start of a strong cigar like a Cain.

Vets: veterans?

Anyhow, being a regular smoker as well as cigars, I've not had the on your arse experience Joey. It has to be a nicotine tolerance thing.

However, when I do smoke some sticks that are strong, I get the hiccups

(Note to Lion: must push button on keyboard less )

Jeez, I thought it was only me! I also get hiccups with a strong cigar! Don't know why. Can any of our resident scientists explain?

Just light headedness for me, but a work colleague shared a cigar with me and after I left him in the control room on his own, a short while later he ended up on the toilet floor sweating,dizzy,shirt ripped off and hugging the porcelain pillow for dear life. Laughed my bollocks off when he told me and wishes I'd been there to film it and take the piss!...

Me too couple of times, and it's definitely not fun .
I dont know if you guys now the Swedish "snuff" or "snus"?
If you want to get light headed then the best way is to try "snus".
It's really an nicotine "bomb" and it does not help if you have smoked 2-3 packets / day of cigarrettes your whole life.
You still get more or less ill first time trying.
I have been a regular "snuffer" for 25 years so i want to believe that i have build up an "impressive" resistance for nicotine but i still get nauseous when smoking cigars from time to time.
Mostly when smoking "fresh" LFD double ligeros, JdN Antanos and Cuban Montes.

I had my first 'light-headed experience' with a stick at the start of last week.

The Dip. No2 - it was a nice, easy going, medium bodied smoke until the last three or four draws, then I could barely stand up straight... Didn't feel particularly clever all evening after that.
