I had a rare opportunity to enjoy a smoke with my cousin, whom I rarely get to hang out with. He grabbed one of my La Gloria Cubana and I grabbed a Maduro Java by Rocky Patel and Drew Estate. This was roughly around 10PM after a hockey game, four hours after I had eaten a meal! Never smoke a maduro on an empty stomach. We drove to a Tim Hortons and I spent a 30 minutes in the restroom. It was a great smoke, but I felt like a drunk, it just totally kicked my arse. Has anyone experienced something like this in their beginning years? I'm sure this doesn't happen to you veterans anymore. Right?
 
I would blame it on the fact that you were smoking a Java by Rocky Patel and Drew Estate and not the fact that it was a maduro. It seems to be a common misnomer to some that wrapper color indicates strength. I always hear guys on my beer forums talking about needing a much bigger beer to handle the "strength of the maduro" when in my experience, more often than not, just the opposite is true.
 
I walked into my local and grabbed the largest size 64 maduro they had in. Sat down to watch a game the next thing i know im covered in sweat and chest feels like it just got punched. After thinking back i dont think i had anything to eat at all that day. Duhhhh so the bottle of water i grabbed and a couple free donuts from the local and i got through it. good game good smoke but makes me always pay attention to when i ate last. The thing is ive had some hefty cigars after not eating and done fine. Maybe i was close to being sick and the lack of food and added cigar just did me in. I agree that maduro is not really stronger i think richer is a good word But there is something about the maduro when i have not eaten it hits home worse.
 
Certain cigars make me woozy, but it's rarely because of a maduro wrapper. I find most maduros are too sweet for me, especially the Java. I fell for the whole "wrapper color == strength" when I was starting, too.

It could have been that you hadn't eaten, were dehydrated a little (this gets me a lot) or it really was just strong for you. Either way, it sounds like you enjoyed it for the most part. :)
 
Hah, I got mine kicked by a natural wrapper. It was an Avo #2 and was my first cigar. I had no idea what was happening, and ended up lying on my bed for a few hours feeling like my appendix had burst. And for some crazy reason I kept smoking. Probably because I had bought 4 other cigars and didn't want to waste them.

Cheapskate to the very end. :rolleyes:
 
I've had similar experiences with all wrappers, but the one that did me the worst was an LFD Coronado. I got it free at an LFD event. I ate some beforehand and then lit up. I was warned that it was strong, but I didn't feel it until about halfway through. I started sweatin' like a fool and wasn't sure if I was going to crap myself or hork up on my buddy. I made it through the event with my dignity intact, but just barely.

Oh yeah, the point of this story was that it was a light-colored wrapper.

I was in real bad traffic a couple months ago and got off the freeway and found a smoke shop. I wandered past all the hookas and glass pipes (those of you from Cali know what I mean) I saw a Java and smoked it on the way home
Ditto on the sweet flavor with the Java. I also found it very soft.
The only cigar that has truly kicked my arse so far was Partigas Black WOW!

This goes to show how we are all different

I agree with Jonas. I smoke a lot of Maduros's, most, thinking about it, are on an empty stomach.

My first Coronado (Double Toro I belive...) kicked my arse as well! I remember commenting on how great of a cigar it was... then laying on the bed with the ceiling fan on high asking myself, "WTF!"

Needless to say, in about a half hour and a bottle of water I was able to make it to the kitchen to get down something sweet. Taught me a lesson about smoking something so stout on an empty stomach... in the Texas summer heat none the less...

mac... still feeling a bit green from that one...
 
About 14 years ago, I smoked a Hoyo De Monterrey Rothchild maduro maduro.

They were so black and sticky with oil the cigars were stuck together.

Whooped my ass!

Last one I ever smoked.
 
I just recently smoked a Oliva Serie "V" 6 x 60 and it kicked my butt something nasty... It had been awhile since i had a smoke do that, i have been smoking for over 10 years. :blush:
 
I remember a while back I had the LFD DL Chisel maduro....never had once since...that one definitely got my head spinning.
 
Smoke a Camacho Triple Maduro 6/60 quickly and I'm reasonably sure anyone would get their ass kicked.

I remember talking to you and wondering why you looked flush. :laugh:

I had a bad experience with a LFD Coronado too. I power smoked a Double Toro on an empty stomach. The wrapper was light colored so I thought it can't be that strong. Halfway through I quickly realized how strong it was, so I slowed down and grabbed a sugar drink. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I took it down to an inch. Towards the end I was getting the shakes. Needless to say, I had to lay down after the smoke.

So it doesn't have to be a Maduro to be an ass-kicker!
 
I haven't had one really kick my arse yet, but that Opus #5 caught me off guard. Luckily there was some sugar close by to stop it from getting bad. Though nothing has really got me yet, I have only been smoking cigars for seven months now, and I know that eventually I will have one do it. As a matter of fact the LFD Double Ligero 700 that I have in the humi will be the one to do it if I had to guess one.
