Nausea Medicine

It seems I have read of people keeping candy or chocolates on hand if/when they smoke a cigar that was a bit too stout.

Today I had a cigar that is just perfect for me (medium) but I happened to inhale a part of it. It didn't quite make me nauseous but it did make me feel a bit unpleasant. I happened to have a few hop (Cascade flavor) candies (terrific candy BTW!) and popped one into my mouth. It did seem to take the edge off a bit.

While at the grocery store picking up a few things we had forgotten I grabbed a bag of butter scotch candies.

What do you eat?

I don't usually eat anything while I smoke, but I haven't had a problem with nausea. As a cigarette smoker I'm probably used to the nicortine. I have, however, accidently inhaled cigar smoke. Had a laryngospasm I thought was gonna kill me. Took almost a minute to pass.

I usually have a cigar with a soft drink of some kind.
I've had good luck pairing pipe tobaccos with beer but with a cigar it never quite clicks for me.
Coke, with or without rum, or root beer is good.

Never had any candy, dark chocolate sometimes before, but I do enjoy darker stouts when smoking.

Don't think I have ever gotten nauseous from a cigar but I did get a nasty case of the hiccups a few times

Might be more to do with smoking on an empty stomach, not sure though, never remember having that exact problem. Although on a hot day things tend to get to me more

I tend to eat whatever when smoking. Grinders, pizza, salads it all depends what I'm hungry for at the moment. Haven't been nauseous ever smoking probably due to the fact I'm an on again off again cigarette smoker. So I'm no help to ya their. As @Cigarer said try having something to eat before enjoying a cigar would IMO probably help.

I was once told that anything with anise would help with cigar breath. So from time to time I have some black licorice laying around (partially because I love it). It can pull double duty, a little sugar if I've smoked a few too many or something caught me off guard and to help with the breath. It doesn't clear it up totally but my wife says it sure helps!

I had been smoking not long after I ate. This time it was several hours later. Hmmm... that's not true come evening.

I used to smoke no less than two packs of smokes a day and often more. But then I quit about 6 years ago. And I didn't start smoking cigars again (wasn't a dedicated smoker then) for about 4 years. Karmen wasn't too happy when I said I wanted to buy some sticks. She was afraid I'd be hooked like before (had me by the cajones!).

Not a fan of black licorice. But now I'm wondering how that cigar would pair with ouzo or sambuca...;-)

Might be good. I would think you would want a rather full cigar to stand up to it though. I always have it after I've finished smoking.

I've had a few bouts of nausea over the years. Almost always when I've smoked on an empty stomach. Ginger ale is my go to in that situation. I have been known to suck on a teaspoon of sugar if it was more severe and that helped pretty quickly.

Ginger ale helps with nausea.

Anything with sugar helps really. A bit too much vitamin N can cause a spike and then drop in blood sugar. Smoking can also dehydrate you a bit, which makes things worse.

I usually have some form of chocolate on hand because I'm a fat kid that loves candy. I also tend to keep some Gatorde on hand as well as it kinda deals with both drops in sugar and dehydration.

For me if I come down with a case of Vitamin N then a chocolate or a piece of chocolate bar remedies the situation almost immediately.

HATE licorice! But I may have to give it a shot to perk up the breath after a cigar or 2, 3.

Oh yeah, haven't had the nausea issue since stupidly inhaling as a kid, after stealing one from my Dad.

I got nic sick once when I first started smoking cigars. I barely made it to lay down and then just laid there eventually spun my way out of it. Felt like a death spiral for a while. I now only smoke after a meal while drinking something sweetened. From what I have read the quickest way to shut it down is to let some sugar desolve under your tongue.

Sugar under the tounge works. I got sick to the point of puking once when I first started out. Still feel the N occasionally but now I know what it is and I'll do the sugar trick.

I have a container of sugar cubes, but I haven't needed them in awhile.

I can kind of sense the oncoming Vitamin N overdose, so I just stop smoking.

I used to make it a goal to try to nub everything, but now if I'm not enjoying the cigar for whatever reason (nausea, my weak ass palate getting overloaded, bored with the cigar, tired of keeping a troublesome cigar lit, etc) I just stop.

I guess it's kind of "wasting" X inches of cigar, but IMO it should be for enjoyment first.

I usually have a bottle of Mexi-Coke when I have a cigar. Used to not remember to eat beforehand, so I've had a few Nic Kiks. A MUWAT Baitfish sent me to the toilet puking in my earlier days. Have also gotten the spins and had to go lay down for a half hour or so. But these days I haven't gotten anything too bad, I can also tell if it's coming on, and will slow down or stop if that's the case. Keep 3 packets of sugar in my car just in case any of this should happen when I'm driving, have poured one under my tongue in the past to keep me from having to pull over...
