Don't take it personally Rebekka! It's hapenned to many of us, even seasoned smokers! Always a good idea to smoke stronger cigars on a full stomach, and NOT in a closed area. BTW, great cigar! Sorry it wasn't nice to you!

It must have been good she smoked it almost to the band in under a half hour.

Probably has a bit to do with it. The AVO Heritage is a fairly stout cigar, speed smoking something like that has the potential to give an experienced smoker a case of the spins, let alone a newer smoker. Best to slow down a bit.

Word of advice if you're starting a new diet and aren't sure how the cigars will affect you, take out a glass of something sugary with you to drink and sip it with the cigar, helps combat the nicotine. Root beer is always a solid standby, but I love me some Cheerwine with anything I smoke.

Thanks. I got that one from Cole. So had no idea about it. I will drink something besides water with it, next time.

She says her head hurts, she feels sick, and she feels like she's drunk. This is the first time this has happened to her, so what do you guys do when a cigar makes you turn colors? She looks so pitiful, now she's laying on the cold floor... What can I tell her to help her out?

It's not really poisoning...when the small amount of nicotine in a cigar makes you ill, it's usually referred to as a rush, not quite as far along as a poisoning...for it to be poisoning it would have to be sixty milligrams of nicotine (the amount in about 30-40 cigarettes), whcih has the potential to kill an adult who is not a smoker if all of the nicotine were absorbed. This figure is ~120 mg in chronic cigarette smokers, smoking an average of 20 non-light cigarettes delivering ~1.7 mg of nicotine each daily.

While a soda works, hard candy would take too long...the easiest solution is just a teaspoon or two of sugar and the nicotine rush is usually neutralized within moments...
