All Cigar Discussion>Getting sick from cigars.

We only had 1 drink but we had it with the first cigar. We drank Coke with the 2nd cigar.

I thought about the food thing but then again, he puked from a cigar before so I was going with that again, hahaha.

Sorry about your brother dude, never happened to me, but I haven't tried a lot of cigars either, just a handful and def not either one of the ones you guys had.

Like someone else said, are sure it was the cigar that made him sick?

Sounds to me like it wasn't the cigars.

The car should be alright. I told him what to do when he got home to clean it. My only concern was the air vents on the car. Everything else picked up easily.

The more I think about it, I don't think it was the cigars either. Everyone I've ever seen get sick from cigars, it was immediate, not later.

I'll have to talk to him when he wakes up. I texted him this morning but it seems like he ended up skipping work today. He probably was up later than expecting to clean his car.

It may just have well been the food. It's probably a good thing he did throw up though instead of getting more sick from the food. Hopefully he got it all out of his body. I've never had food poisoning but I know you can puke and get more sick after you already have puked.

I can tell you I was a rookie and smoked an LFD double ligero chisel...that made me sick as hell and I ended up vomiting. Room spun, stomach was bad, took lots of sugar but it was too late. :-) off the balcony.

I'm leaning more towards the cigar again. My brother takes a medicine that lowers his blood pressure and I think the nicotine made it drop even more and caused it. My wife just reminded me that his medicine he takes will lower his blood levels. I think he just didn't have enough sugar in him even though it never affected him by making him feel light headed or anything.

I've had food poisoning as well. Each time it set in within 2-12 hours after I ate something. It is not fun at all. Coming out of both ends at the same time and you literally can't keep anything down including water.

Could have been cigars or food, but too much Nicky-Teen will make a peson sick, especially if he is not a heavy cigar smoker. My .02

I'm not a doctor. Heck, I don't even play one on T.V. So take this with a grain of salt, but nicotine is a stimulant which actually will raise your blood pressure. I'm still leaning towards not the cigar, but I could be wrong...

Never felt sick at all, it just spontaneously happened and I was fine again. Kept walking the dog like nothing happened and hoped no one saw it.
Yay for professional puking! I have had a few incidents (drinking induced, not smoking) where a bunch of us have been walking from the bar to our DD's car, and just been too full from slamming the rest of the tall beer. Not sick spinny drunk, just too full of foam. Let it go, and didn't even break stride.

That was in another life though.

A couple years ago I was at Daytona Bike week and bought a sausage and pepper sandwich off a nice girl in tattoos and a bikini working a cart on Main Street. Chased it with a sorta cold Bud. Then i lit up a Fuente Anejo.

Riding home on Interstate 4, my hands became clammy, I was sweating profusely, and pulled over to puke in a drainage ditch as rush hour traffic passed. I felt grateful I wasn't performing a multi-port food rejection on my hands and knees.

Sausage from a tattooed girl on Main Street never crossed my mind so I gave away the rest of my Anejos.

Like I said, we drank some soda and neither of us were feeling icky at all. Just got some sodas just cuz the we were thirsty and yeah, the sugar would be good anyways. This just came up unexpectedly.

I actually keep a ziplock of jelly beans around just in case I get too large a dose of nicotine. Haven't needed it in quite some time, but they are there just in case.

Nicotine is just another drug that the body builds a tolerance to. Keep smoking, smoke more! :-)
