So, I went out and bought two Liga Privada #9's and two LFD Double Ligero 700 (6.5 x 60). Pugman1943 mentioned he thought the LFD Double Ligero's are very tasty so I decided to give it a go.

I read Gavin's review about a chisel with a regular wrapper and how it didn't strike him as being to heavy, but this one is a bit bigger, and has a maduro wrapper which people mentioned tends to be a bit stronger. I read the thread on nicotine sickness and other than sugar I can't come up with much more ways to prevent. Can yo smoke progressively stronger cigars over a week to build up such a tolerance?

I'm curious, how much stronger is this LFD Double Ligero going to be than my standard Padron 5000 Maduro, and how can I prepare myself so I don't get mowed over other than eating a large steak dinner beforehand?

Thanks for suggestions.
 
From what Ive read, its all about your blood sugar levels. A common tip is to drink a coke or sugary drink before hand. I tried it for an LFD Airbender chisel and it did the trick.
 
Haven't had either one in a while, but you just mentioned two of my favs. I have yet to find anything that comes close to the power and strength of a LFD DL combined with it's smoothness. Excellent smokes. Think I'll have to break one out at the next herf.
 
When I smoked one ( a chisel ) it did'nt seem to strong to start with but in the last third the strength really picked up and I got the hiccups at the nub, but damn it was good.
 
Eat something before. It doesn't need to be a steak or super heavy meal. Keep a coke handy just in case you start to feel the nic.
 
Just light it up and enjoy! I smoked a digger maduro after a light breaksfast and got a nice buzz with no nice sickness. Just don't try to huff the whole thing down in 20minutes.
 
If you're a real man then you will fast for 12 hours before hand and then smoke it while sitting in a hot tub! Just make sure someone is with you in case you get too dizzy. I wouldn't want your drowning on my conscience. :laugh:
 
Well, a big bowl of ice cream, a bottle of coke, and a full meal later, I made it past the DL 700. It was tough though, and I'm definitely feeling a bit dizzy!
