Smoking with a head cold.

It's been almost 3 weeks since my last cigar due to being sick. I had a cold about 3 weeks ago. After the sinus symptoms subsided I smoked a cigar because I owed a review for a blind taste test. My findings: 1) I could not taste the nuances of the cigar very well due to the fact that my taste buds had still not fully returned, 2) I ended up getting a sore throat that has kept me from smoking for the last 18 days. I don't know if the sore throat is necessarily related to the smoking but it certainly couldn't have helped. So long story short I will not smoke when sick or immediately after having been sick. No desire to go through this again.

I read somewhere that nicotine slows down the healing process!!!

Not a great idea to smoke... but do what you want to, it's your body!!!
