weird thing happened...

last week went wine tasting - seeing how im not into wine - i let the family go off tasting and i sat in the vineyards and had me a fuente double chateau churchill -

on the way back - got uber queasy / dizzy - thought it was my inlaws mad driving and chalked it up to car sickness.

now today - i went out by the pool and had another (from my stash) - fine smoke very relaxing - but again about a 1/2hour later - again got dizzy and queassy

anyone else had this experience with these?
maybe these particular smokes just dont agree with me...

Give one to someone else and see if they have the same experience. I've never had the Double Chateau Sun Grown so I can't give you my experience. Could just be the cigar, or could be a bad batch.

No cigar should cause that, if you are a cigar smoker. Would look for other causes. I have read unsubstantiated reports though that some producers have been experimenting with some unique techniques to combat the beetle, so rampant in cigar producing areas.

i hear ya...
i dont smoke very day, but did have 2 torano's last week - no problems.

and went though a 10 pack variety (cao, la flor, montecristo, joyo de nicar, and some AF's...etc) just 2 weeks.

im guessing i got a bad batch...

just odd...i never get car sick and now this - only same thing - smoking these AF's...

Sounds like an overdose of nicotine. The two days you spoke about, were they hot days? How full was your stomach?

Heat and an empty stomach tend to lessen you resistance to nicotine. Maybe thats what did it.

if you smoked a LFD and JDN last week and they didn't make you sick, then it must be a bad batch.

both the LFD and JDN are usually 2 of the strongest sticks in any given B&M.

Could be dehydration or the cigar or a combination of both. Read my post in the "Cigar Talk" forum.

The thing is I smoke strong cigars, Opus, LFD Chisel, JDN Antano, SLR Series G, Punch, RP Edge,etc. and 3-4 per day so I'm not unaccustom to the nicotine.

I had a really fresh AF Cuban Belicoso Sun Grown and it made me a little uneasy. Let the others sit for a little while, they will calm down.


I just like cigars, is that ok?

Could just be me, but I enjoy getting that woozy feeling after smoking a stogie. You should feel lucky, I've only found a few sticks that give me that sort of response.
