My first nicotine hangover

Well I woke up today with my first nicotine hangover. Thanks Kondour, that triple maduro was a bit much for me. I lit it up, took a few puffs and it hit me right in the back of the throat. I thew I was in for a ride so I sat down and started up Heartbreak Ridge to help me through it. I only made it to the 3/4 mark before my hair started to crawl. Nice taste but to much nicotine for this light weight. I went to bed early last night.

:pu
 
I know what you mean. Same thing happened to me with my first Padron 1926 No. 9 Maduro. I was puffing way too fast, but it was so good! I made it all the way to the nub before having to go take a cool shower :D. The best thing I've found to do is take a few tablespoons of sugar. It seems to help a little.:tu

Even better for me, when the nicotine kicks up a bit, is to get a coke. It helps me absorb the nicotine a little slower so that it doesn't hit me all at once. :D

Try eating before you smoke that thing, when you start feeling sick drink a coke or something sweet. :2
 
Yes, food and sugar are your friends. I'm not sure how quickly you smoke, but you might also want to reduce the number of puffs you take. I take one about every minute or so. :)
 
I ate a big plate of chicken vindaloo about a hour before I smoked that. I guess I either didn't eat enough or waited to long to smoke. I don't usually eat while I smoke. Most the time I just drink water because I don't want to change the flavor. I might have to keep something sugary around if I know a particular cigar is going to pack a wallop.

I'm a slow smoker. It took me right at an hour to smoke 3/4 of that robusto. Can't get much slower then that.
 
Don't worry, most of us have been there before. Mine was a Opus X last summer that kicked my butt. Great smoke, just puffed way to fast on a less than full stomach.

You can probably go a little slower too, I have been able to pull out 1.75 hours on a robusto size smoke. Litto Gomez knocked me around once.
 
that is a stout stick. Drink lots of water to flush the nicotine out. Also helps as good as anything can with the morning breath.:tu
 
Had the same happen to me with an LFD El Jocko Maduro was a great smoke but it started kicking the crap outta me. I was chatting on the CS chat board at the time, and I am pretty sure it was Shaggy that said, "you might want to go grab a Soda" I followed his advice and the sugar helped settle my blood sugar from the nicotine rush. Finished the gar without much difficulty after that.

My :2 for what its worth
