Turning Green

[solo.ace13]

I'm on a quest to expand my knowledge and pallet. I started smoking light cigars and slowly moved up to medium blends. I want to try a full body cigar....but got sick the last few times. Any advice for a new botl?

Full stomach. Drink sugary drink like a coke with it and don't be afraid to put it down and revisit when you feel the N hit. Sugary foods seem to alleviate vitamin N sickness for me as well as most.

That's why a lot of us will drink bourbon or rum with a cigar. The sugar helps a lot. And, if I have a morning stick, I drink a Cole just like apnutter wrote.

Or just have the bourbon and coke in the am. Breakfast of champs.

This, but also very important that you are hydrated. Make sure you have had water beforehand. If you are dehydrated it will make you sick as well

But I hate having the same meal everyday, so occasionally I will change it up with a martini

Coke. Period. Sugar helps the nicotine sickness

Thank you guys! I will make sure to follow all this great advice today. Any suggestions on full body cigar? Price range no more than 10.00

I think you are confusing strength & body. A full bodied cigar isn't always a strong cigar.

Personally, if they made you sick I would be hesitant to jump right back in on the full strength cigars, work your way in to them so that you will be able to enjoy them. My .02

What everyone has said. Also, check your speed of smoking. Try setting it down, or taking a drag every 2 minutes or so. Out of curiosity, what full body sticks are you smoking?

Liga Privada T52 and No 9
It took me a year to move up to a maduro. I thought I was ready to move up, but I was wrong...LOL
I stick to the 1 minute rule.

Depending on the size, resting it up to around 2 minutes between drag is great. It won't overheat and your palate will pickup different nuances when it's not too hot. Just keep smoking different sizes, and wrappers. Find what you like and enjoy them at your leisure. In the last few years, I have smoked connecticut, up to maduro, and then back to the lighter stuff. Don't be afraid to change it up every now and then. Hope this helps, and welcome to the brotherhood!

Would Flor De Las Antillas be medium to full? That'd be a good stick to work your way towards full

Agreed, or maybe an AF Hemingway SIGNATURE. First full stick I smoked and enjoyed was a Le Bijou Toro. I loved it, but became very conscious of my consumption speed.
