Been following for awhile but first post . First I have enjoyed a cigar from time to time for many years . I lean toward the mild/medium side . Never really had any issues or bad feelings till other day . I hadn't had a Macanudo Cafe Court in long time and I picked one up with a few of my more regular ones at my Cigar store . My gran girls were staying over a few nights and toward evening they went to play on the swing set and I planned to sit back on the porch and enjoy my cigar but of course before long they wanted me out there pushing both of them . Well doing that and keeping my cigar in corner of my mouth I sucked it down pretty quick instead of the more normal maybe 30 minutes or so pace . Afterward I felt like had a rapid heart rate for most of the night . I had a full stomach and was sipping on a Root Beer soda over ice smoking cause we had made them floats also . Day later I smoked a regular stick with no effects . Granted I am no long term vet but no newb either with cigars . My 1st question is do you think the rush was from the fast smoking pace instead of the more enjoyable slow burn or 2 has Macanudo changed to more of a punch then in the past . I noticed the taste wasn't as good as I remember when lit it up and to me felt it had more of a bitter after taste . I know to watch any health stuff but this felt more like the time I was a teen and tried cigs 1st time and last time or the times a friend gives me a more stronger cigar the use to .
