Still trying to kick a nasty cold from almost a week ago.  Got a couple orders in, and I can't try them!  I mean I could, but what's the point if you can't smell? 

:-)
I suppose one set of them is from OCT00, so they've been waiting patiently for a while...

I am right there with you.  My usual deal is 2.5 days of sick misery, an extra day of coughing up creatures,
then I am good.  Here I am a week after I first got sick and I am not as drug down, but I have yet to wake up
and not cough up a Nokia and then get a little achey and chill-ey.  Unprecedented chest-snot all day long.
On the good side, I am thinking seriously about bugging out of here and going home to sleep.

About 2.5 weeks for me before I slowly started smoking again. Does anyone else feel the need to start slowly with milder sticks or only smoking every other day after a nasty cold?
Get well soon, guys.

Any kind of smoking is best left as an afterthought when you are well over it, or else you just extend it needlessly.  
I feel sorry for people who are addicted to nicotine.  Just makes getting over a cold impossible.  All I really want 
back now is my sense of taste.  Sucks to lose that.  I have not been completely debilitated for days.  It's the 
LINGERING that's got me.

I feel ya.  Just got over it myself (almost 3 weeks).  Hang in there fella's and just try to think of it in the rule of 3's.  3 weeks of aging + 3 weeks of sickness = 3 times the pleasure when you finnally can smoke.  LOL

That's right where I'm at too.  Just won't go away.  I try not to take meds, but I've been swallowing echinacea like it's going out of style.

I started with a cheaper, milder stick, Steve, but only to see where my tasting was at. Glad I did, the first one I lit (too early) tasted like crap and I put it out and took another week off.

Yup yup yup! I am just now clearing up after a 3 week nuclear cold! I swear, that's the worst one I've ever had. Good luck, wish I had some quick fix for you. NyQuil did help me a little during the roughest parts. Not sure what dosage I took as I just chugged it from the bottle. LOL
Good luck.

That would suck to miss it!  I drug myself out to a brewfest on Saturday.  Had a blast, but knew I would suffer some for it.

I feel ya. I had it for 2 weeks. Ran a 103 fever at one point and not a single night that I didn't wake up coughing, sneezing, etc. Luckily I've been better for a week now and I can actually enjoy smoking a cigar.

I was going stir crazy after fracturing an ankle, followed up by pneumonia earlier this year.  I was going mental not smoking for a month after having 1-2 cigars a day.  
 
My first attempt to smoke again was an epic failure and I wasted a nice cigar.  I'm working my way back, but the biggest struggle has been how long I can smoke, not necessarilly the strength of the cigar.
 
Hang in there and get well!

I am semi-laid up now as well. I had a small piece of titanium put in my foot, along with 7 screws. I am going nuts I tell ya! At least I can smoke. 
Get well soon.
