I think I'm experiencing nicotine sickness. This sucks. I have a pretty high tolerance for nicotine seeing as I've been smoking since I was fifteen. I'm now in my thirties. What sucks even more is that a Boris put me here. I've had stronger cigars than the Boris. Oh wait, yeah, I had a couple of cigarettes tonight too. Eff. This blows.

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.

It's a pretty regular thing for me. When I'm really into a particularly large or strong cigar, it turns into a game of chicken with my constitution.
I actually just got in from smoking a bit more than I ought to have.
Loved every minute of it, though.

For those of you who are truly interested in this problem, best I can tell it is an imbalance in one's bloodsugar that causes the sickness. I am fairly certain that some poeple are immune to it or have developed such a tolerance that they can not be affected by the nominarl nicotine found in a cigar (or 10). My father had not smoked cigarettes for 15 years before he started smoking cigars but still, never became afflicted with this syndrom. SFLarry above has never been affected. Why? Does one's nicotine tolerance last a lifetime? That doesn't sound like any tolerance I'm familiar with.
Boiled down, this is one reason I started developing a taste for mild-medium strength or vintage cigars. When I smoke on an empty stomach or a cigar that lasts longer than the meal I've eaten takes to digest, this happens to me; every time. Indyrob's first post is the appropriate solution. Spoonful of sugar makes the sickness go away.

You know how many times I've said I wish I was around in the 60's. Good thing I wasn't I probably would have over indulged.:smokingbo

"Just a SPOON full of SUGAR makes the NICOTINE go DOWN..."
Oh, come on, you know you were thinking it! Seriously, though, put one packet (spoonful) of sugar under your tongue and hold it there for a while- helps to wet the sugar so you can swallow it and... it's the way I've always done it. Works. Don't know why.
Water and food help too.
