I'd hate for it to start kicking me, because the lancero Vs rate near the top of my best five!
Same here! I am a newbie smoker and have an Oliva Serie V torp quite often with no ill-effects. Nothing more than a very slight buzz, like you said.

Early in my cigar days, I had the bright idea to smoke one while on a walk - which turned into a brisk walk to keep up with my friend. Breathing and smoking was definitely not a good combo. Took a couple solid lungfuls and deposited my dinner on the side of the road. Not a pretty sight or a happy feeling. Learned my lesson though. Cigars and Aerobics don't mix! So I quit walking. :-)

My first time was with an OpusX #4. Didn't know that it was going to be a strong cigar, since this was my first Opus ever, and I was still new to cigars. I was driving back from the tobacconist and decided to light it up while driving. Big mistake...Oh yeah, this was on an empty stomach too. I didn't hurl, but got the familiar cold sweats, dizziness so I pulled off of the road and sat down in a park that was luckily right there, and just shook and sweat and thought I was dying.
