Switching focus from cigars to pipes?

[Sirspanksalot]

So I've smoking cigars for about a year now, and while I enjoy them, I absolutely hate getting that nauseating feeling from the nicotine sometimes. I like the flavor of the more full strength cigars, but it just seems like my tolerance is too low.

Now I started with pipes in December and I feel like I've enjoyed it more, even though I'm very much so a newb. I don't know if I should just switch to making pipes my main Hobbie and cigars 2nd.

Are there other ways to help avoid getting a nicotine hit other than a full stomach and sugary things?

There really isn't, but even if there was does it matter?

There's nothing wrong at all with that statement. If you enjoy it more you should do it more! We have many pipers amongst us who can guide you on your journey.

Yeah, there is definitely some pipe tobacco that has hit me harder than any other cigar I've had.

Sugar will counteract the N punch. I go with soda, but anything sweet will work.

For me, the last one that snuck up on me was 3 Nuns. But it was a rather large bowl. Either way got a little vitamin N kick.

My remedies on the n kick is to stop smoking as soon as I feel it coming on. Plus if its a strong stick I smoke it a lot slower.

I'm just trying pipes myself.

This is true but the last time I got hit hard by vitamin N (UF-13) I was drinking root beer with it and it still messed me up

Really? I was just gonna place an order for some...tasty I'd assume?

I really love ODF. It packs a punch though.
I've only got the sweats with one stick really bad and that was a LFD air bender but I was also on Vicodin.

I must be lucky and either its the volume I smoke, or just that im not as affected my the effects of nicotine. I seem to handle any cigar or pipe tobacco just fine.

I've found that the hit is stronger the longer you've been in the residual smoke clouds and how intense they've been.
