Non-Health Related Effect of Smoking a Cigar

Lol, Craig. I think moisture in the mouth also plays into how one feels the nicotine. More moisture/saliva=feeling more nicotine since it stays in (and is absorbed by) the mucus membrane of the mouth longer.

Good call. I hadn't gotten there yet but it makes sense.

I still welcome thoughts on the "monkey" taste (that cracks me up, BTW) but I've got another one to ask.

Does anyone who smokes infrequently notice how your lungs are irritated 2 days after you are smoking in a closed environment? I almost never cough or clear my throat the day after a cigar. Two days, well, I'm like an 80 year old man. It's quite weird. Along the lines of congestion, does your congestion change consistency ever after a cigar? This ventures down into an odd rathole, but I tend to find that mucus is much more gelatinous and gooey at this point. Just the body's way of putting all the impurities into something that can be expelled? I really don't know what this could be. Odd...

I find if I have several cigars 2 to 6 throughout the day I dont get that monkey crap the next day. Or if I smoke only earlier in the day to afternoon.. the closer to bed and the less cigars the rougher the next day is.

I don't think I'm old enough to get phlemy

Smoked a huge La Sirena Merlion last night and went to bed straight afterwards (after brushing my teeth). Not the strongest cigar, but NO monkey in the morning either. I'm beginning to think it has more to do with individual body chemistry than anything else. Maybe there are tricks that can help, but I think nature plays the major role.

What causes "off" breath the morning after NOT having a cigar? A person can brush their teeth, go straightway to bed, and still wake up with a monkey of a different breed...
