guess I overdid it

[gamayrouge]

I smoked about 8 cigars at my first Herf, not including the one I smoked on the way there. Needless to say I blew chunks. Just make sure you have a hearty meal before you start smoking, otherwise you're playing NC/C roulette like me.

In retrospect, the booze might have done you over.

I enjoyed a herf at a friend's house on Saturday night. He cooked up some shrimp on the grill as well as burgers and hot dogs. He also provided the Hop Devil and Double Bock. In the 3 hours I was there I had some shrimp, a couple burgers, and two beers. But I think I overdid it when it came to cigars. I started with a Tatuaje Red Label East coast, moved to a Pepin blue label robusto, and finished with an Oliva series G toro. I was feeling the nicotine, but not too badly. I made sure to eat in between each one. The next day, and today, however, my throat is quite sore and there is a ton of thick mucus (sorry) in there. There is another herf on Tuesday but I may have to give it a pass.

Anyone else experience this?

I guess I should add that I have had three or four cigars in the same day, but not in that short of a time span.

sOUNDED LIKE THE PERFECT DAY :tu

I've done that before, my throat would be scratchy and I'd be coughing up and blowing out thick yellowish snot.

Drink lots of water, hock up a few loogys(sp) and spit them out as well as blow them out of your nose if you feel that way too. You'll get over it in less than a week, I usually do.

Naaa I only had two beers. The cigars had most of my attention plus Hop Devil isn't the best pairing. More likely it was the cold air (we had a fire in the fire pit) plus the smoke from the cigars and fire providing a little irritation so the germs could move in, or just the germs alone.

btw the throat is pretty much fine but now I have a hacking cough with thick....well you get the idea.
