That's weird you say that I had the same expierence with the Don Carlos Anniversary too. (its the opus X Don Carlos). That is one of the only cigars that ever made me feel that way. Numbness in lips tounge and a nice nicotine high. Great cigar.Very few cigars get me buzzed, but I've had some that just left me thinking, Wow, I feel like I've been drinking, but I haven't (much anyway). This morning I smoked an oldie that gave me a mild buzz, and I noticed the tip of my tounge and lips got a bit numb. Most buzzed I've gotten from a current production stick has been off the Don Carlos Aniv. Toro and the first time more so than any time after, so something in me likely was different that day.
Anyway, what has been your experiences with gettin buzzed off cigars? and does it have more to do with us, the cigar or the combination of the two?
I would guess it was one of the Serie V, the rest of Oliva's stuff is more medium bodied.I had an Oliva a couple months ago that knocked me down! I don't remember which one it was though. Yesterday at the B&M I had a Reserva SW I smoked while sitting down the whole time and didn't move, when I stood up I had a little buzz going. I think it was more that I was trying to smoke it in about 60-70 minutes as that is all the time I had and was puffing quite a bit.
You are right, I have it's brother in the humi but didn't want to go searching for it to see which one.I would guess it was one of the Serie V, the rest of Oliva's stuff is more medium bodied.
