Wow, well I don't feel like such a tool anymore. Yesterday was a great day, no work, and I met my wife for lunch and gorged myself at the chinese buffet. My local cigar shop is closeby, and you all know when you are closeby you can't help but wonder if any new sticks came in. So I had a few bucks in my pocket and went in originally planning on smoking a CAO Brazilia, as I was browsing an opus X caught my eye. And not too bad of a price either about 10.50 You all can scold me if you want but I'm not sure of exactly what it was. A rather small ring gauge and maybe 5 or 5 1/2 inches. Needless to say it was delicious, and definitely the best cigar I've ever had. Very smooth, with no off flavors. I kept getting huge licorice notes in the nose. I hate licorice but I really enjoyed this cigar, my only complaint was that it went out 1 or 2 times.
Back to the story...
There were 5 or 6 guys already smoking in the shop combined with my unknowingly strong cigar. I staggered out of there and tried to drive home. BALLS!!! I got so sick, borderline passed out, green, buzzed feeling with the flu. Never want to get that again.
