Smoking with a head cold. - Page 2

Just had my first cigar (brickhouse robusto) after a week with a cold...BURNT TOAST!!! Ugh, wasted a good cigar. I guess I'll have to wait a few more days.

I've had something for the past month. Sore throat for the first week, sore throat/headcold for the next two and, forgive me, infected snot this week. I'm finally feeling well enough to smoke something tonight.

That was me (only less than a month). I just tried another a few minutes ago, and still not good. The taste buds must be really fouled up. I guess it takes a good bit to get back to normal.

Well, when I started this thread, I was on day 3 or 4 of my cold. I smoked a big stogie and drank some scotch. My cold ended up lasting 11 or 12 days. If I get another cold, I will not be smoking. As many BOTLs said, it was a bad idea.

I would rather smoke with a cold head.

J/K I don't smoke when I have a cold either.

I would think...a spicy (burn your face off spice) would probably clear you up in a heartbeat

are there any like that? no clue.

Pulled this thread up to see what I said back then, as I have a cold now, but am dying for a cigar. Nuts...I will wait.

I'm getting over a cold now and a couple days ago I couldn't resist the urge and lit up a PL Robusto ER that was calling for me. Should have saved it at it tasted a bit muted and I ending up coughing up a storm the next day.

I usually avoid it. But, if there's a herf I want to go do and sudafed can dry my sinuses out/open them enough to taste I'll give it a whirl. Just make sure you don't PPP and share the "love".
