That one friend...

[Hardheaded]

I understand all the pre smoking stuff. I try to never smoke on an empty stomach, unless I know it's a super mild cigar in the morning or something. I know people have different tolerances, but for instance Jericho Hill and Nica rustica were mentioned as being strong. I've never had issues with either one of those. But the other night I smoked an almost 4 year old Oliva V while drinking a coke and I got a little woozy when I finished. I only mentioned the age because I also thought nicotine dissipates over time.

It could also be that I had a bit of an empty stomach both times I've had a Nica Rustica. I usually smoke a few hours after dinner, so that very well could have skewed my perception of it being strong or not.

Yup, that Jericho hill was on a weird night, but my friend and I who both usually have no issue's with strength got hit pretty hard by it. On the other hand, I've never had a problem or thought the Nica Rustica packed a punch.
