1st ever 4 cigar evening!!!

Until they come up with injectible nicotine cigars it is.

Most I've done in a day is seven. All pretty strong ones as that's all I smoke. If the nic starts getting to ya just drink a soda and it's all good.

Hmm, I think it'll be a three'er today. :ss

I'm sorry, but I believe you have misstated the "facts". By your reasoning there should be several cigars smokers dropping dead daily. :dr
Smoking without inhaling is a very inefficient delivery system for nicotine.
I believe the actual amount of nicotine absorbed into the blood stream is a very small % of the actual nicotine content of the raw product. Also, a cigar is consumed over a period of time allowing the body to metabolize a portion of the absorbed nicotine. While herfing with friends yesterday I smoke 8 or nine over a 10hr period. I think everyone consumed at least 5 or 6 and they left early or came late. :hn

The facts are perfectly...factual (and it's not a joke, Homebrewer ;)). But of course we aren't ingesting all of the nicotine, and the body breaks down the nicotine we do get faster than we can smoke it. I just thought I would put up a comical presentation of the facts here, as I thought it applied ;)
 
I think I would be dead also if some of those scientific facts were true... I smoke daily, at least 2 after every work day, and I'll smoke at least 5-6 cigars both on Saturday and Sundays. I like to smoke big cigars (54-60 gauge), and usually medium to full bodied depending on the food I've got in me. When I go to Cuba each year, during a week, I will smoke 3-3/12 boxes during my 1 week stay....

When I started reading the first few posts, I thought I was in trouble... but after reading later posts, I felt relieved trhat I'm not the only cigar nut here:ss
 
I would be interesting if you could measure the actual mg of nicotine in your system at any one time. Someone could invent a breathalyzer for cigar nutz.
 
Im at 2-4 per day, even more on the weekends. If we have a BBQ or sit out by the pool, I can go smoke 6 through the course of the day without even thinking about it. If Im drinkin, Im smokin!!!
 
The most i've had in one sitting was 3 which is not hard if you're just hanging out with some good friends who smoke.

I did have 5 in one night though which started with 3 (Maybe 4?)at corona left about 2am-ish and then another 2 once i got back to gainesville at around 4:30 am...lol long night
 
Yea i only have had a 3 smoke once.. I felt like %^&* the next day. But i do smoke 8 a week.. so still trying to get to 3 on weekend..:confused:
 
I've smoked a max of 4 in a single day, but that day started at 7AM and didn't end until a little after midnight.

I had a RP Decade robusto with my morning coffee (why does everyone keep saying mild cigars in the morning? I would think you'd want a stronger cigar in the morning to kind of kick start your day).

An OWR robusto after lunch.

A Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon robusto after dinner.

And a Padron #3000 Maduro late evening while lurking on this board.

I generally can't smoke a fuller bodied cigar back to back. Even the milder ones, if I try to smoke them one right after the other, near the end of the second one, I'll start getting dizzy.
 
Jackie Childs would take my case

Ah, this takes me back to one of the best (or worst) cigar nights of my life... a few years ago a buddy and I were at Caesar's in Atlantic City (back when cigars were welcome at the tables). We camped at a blackjack table and my friend went through four VSG Spellbounds back-to-back-to-back-to-back, with no break. This was over the course of about six hours, and I remember just sitting there in awe. this was like watching Kobayashi ingest 50+ hotdogs in 10 minutes. I don't even want to think about how much nicotine he pulled.

I had two Spellbounds with me, and after I finished my second, the pit boss came over with two NC Montecristo Robustos. He nodded at my friend, who was puffing away, and said "I didn't want you to feel left out." I smoked the Montes (and I won't claim to have even tasted them at that point) and somehow got through the night without turning green.

Well, the next morning I had one hell of a hangover--and I don't think I had more than two drinks the entire evening. Hell, I could still smell the cigars 24 hours later. I looked and felt like Kramer from that episode of Seinfeld where he inhales the equivalent of 10 years of cigarette smoke in a matter of weeks ( he ends up on a bilboard as a would-be marlboro man, to the chagrin of Jackie Childs)

These days, I'm usually good for two (depending on size, of course) ... I don't think I'll be reliving that night any time soon. ; )
