What has knocked you on your ass lately?

Opus X Perfecxion No 5. That little fella does not screw around. I smoked it quickly once, and actually threw up twenty minutes later.

This is one short stick that you have to take a long time smoking.
 
The Gran Habano Corojo # 5 Pyramid did the trick for me. Not a seasoned smoker, but had no problems with stronger smokes till this sucker just dropped me. Then I ordered a box!
 
Power smoking Tijuana Smalls when I was 15 y/o! Lately it was a Litto Gomez Oriental on a ton of coffee, no sleep, and an empty stomach. I was not thinking straight before, and not seeing straight after.
 
Nothing really gets me sick. I guess i have a really high tolerance. I can smoke LFD DL Chisel Maddys on an empty stomach and not hardly get phased... Feel a little buzz from them, but thats about it...
 
Nicotine is a smooth muscle relaxant. The more nicotine, the more likely to cause a BM. I find it much more enjoyable than prunes.
Well, there you go! I learned something today.. .guess it's time to go home. :D

x2 - interesting Doc, didn't know that. I don't recall having that effect, but I was too busy making sure the couch wasn't going anywhere. :laugh: I smoked it about 10 minutes too long -and I knew it, but it was too tasty to put down.
 
I felt really sick after having a little Romeo y Julieta maduro a while back. I was smoking outside with some friends in the dead of winter and had to hurry back in to lie down. I was glad nobody was around, I was embarrassed about being floored by such a small cigar.

A Perdomo had the same effect on me a few weeks ago, but I think that was a quality issue.
 
I had a Graycliff Double Espresso yesterday afternoon and it threw me for a loop. I had an Opus X DC from last year that didn't even make me break a sweat the previous weekend so this suprised the hell out of me. However, it was a great cigar and a good change of pace from my ususal line up.
 
I am by know means a seasoned cigar smoker, as I have just started smoking cigars regularly for about the past month, but I do like a robust smoke. Since I have not bought a humidor or put together a coolidor, I go to the local B&M once a week to pick up a couple sticks for the weekend. Well last night I had my first RP The Edge torpedo, let's just say it about sunk my battleship. It has a pretty loose draw so I was smoking through it pretty fast, because my wife wanted me to get out there and watch a movie with her. I got about 4 inches through it before I had to throw in the towel. Best $5 cigar I've smoked though! It was nice and spicy and never got hot or harsh. Once I get some storage together I will definately be buying a box of those bad boys. What other RP's do you guys recommend?
 
The only cigar that has made me sit like a bitch was a Opus X Brain Hemorrhage, that was gifted to me by a very generous fellow over at CF. The damn cigar is so small, and looks so harmless, its like an opus dipped in nicotine. Linky
 
So yesterday afternoon I was smoking a Griffin's Special Edition XXIII (and puffing every now-and-then from a couple other cigars my friend was smoking), and I just died. I'm a new smoker, and smoke mild cigars, usually (what the Griffin's supposed to be?), but for some reason I just got beat around. I had the sweats, nausea, and uncontrollable shaking. I threw up about 30 minutes later and had nausea for the rest of the day. Had to go to work, though, so it was awful. :(
But my friend really helped me out and gave me a ride around cause I couldn't drive after that. But yeah, wow, I just died.
 
One of my first ISOM's, a RASS that was still quite young, did me in. It was quite plugged, and I was really straining to get any smoke out of it. Got a wooden bamboo skewer out the kitchen and slid that sucker all the way to the fire. Opened it up and I started puffing to get the fire going. Took about two hefty draws and the next thing I knew sweat was pouring, little fireflies were floating around my head, and my legs were about to go out from under me. I barely made it to the bathroom! Didn't puke, but let's just say it cleaned out my system completely! I finally got my legs back and came out the bathroom. My wife said I had a green tint to my face. :D
