Never actually hurled from a gar, but the first third of the tat Avion got me close. I got my father in law a 2007 Don carlos anniversary and he smoked it in about 30 minutes with only a bottle of red wine in his stomach... It turned into a pretty tough night for him

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Cigars that turned you green
- Thread starter ronmart

Fuente Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau . The first one I had didn't seem to hurt me. After I learned to retrohale and smoked one, I about died....The next one I had did the same thing to me. Have a couple more in the humi, and I'm afraid to even go there. Also, Ashton ESG 24.....it was nasty, AND it made me puke. I had to take a shower to "get it off me". I swore I'd never smoke another cigar after that one, but.....it didn't take. I did tread lightly for a little while after that incident.
I don't know why, but there is one, and only one, vitola of the Oliva Serie V that has kicked my ass almost every time I've smoked it. All the other vitolas I can frigging chain smoke, but the Special Figurado for some reason affects me hard. I ended up stashing the rest of the box and haven't smoked on in about 2 years. Hopefully when I finally break them out again they'll have toned down some, cause I liked them other than the ass kicking. LOL
+100
Fausto used to kick me square in the nads all the time... I love em.. But it took me going through a half dozen or so before I learned to give them the respect they command... Always after a heavy meal... Always with a little bit of candy/sugar on hand.. Only when fully hydrated.. And only in the smaller vitola...
Otherwise I'm spinning like a top before I'm halfway into the second third...

el rico habano. when they first came out, maybe when EPC was still in miami before the general days. i was awfully new, and kinda surprised i found one, in retrospect. shit laid me low. funny thing, i was graciously gifted one last year, a '97? still tried to tackle me, even at that age! (many thanks on that one, sir!) i keep thinking about picking up a box of current production, just to cross train. o)
also huge +1 to LFD, a lot of their lines can sneak up and strangle you. and my first opus X A size was the only cigar i had to take a break on; set it down for about half an hour to get a sammich and some OJ. also rest my neck, as you canNOT just hold an A in your maw for the entirety without some strain!

Fausto gets me everytime too.
LMAO that took longer than I thought.
The Slobber Knocker derailed me, the baby brother to the Femur!
