I only get a chance to smoke once or twice a week, but I've noticed that I'm always craving something sweet after I finish a cigar. I usually drink beer or coke with the cigar, but afterwards, there's nothing better than a bowl of coffee ice cream, which is weird because otherwise, I don't generally crave sweets.

Is this just me, or has anybody else experienced this too?

I head for the ice cream in general :grin:, when I was quitting smoking cigarettes I'd come home from work and consume a whole quart of ice cream in one sitting.

Sugar tends to counter the effects of nicotine so no real big surprise there, that's why dprice smokes Baccarats. :smokingbo

And on the occasions when I get a stick that send my head for a spin and my stomach turning, i'll eat a spoonful of sugar and a glass of water and am cured in 10-15 minutes.

same here... i read somewhere that nicotine lowers your blood sugar.

Often, if I'm going to smoke something really full-bodied I will make sure to eat something sweet a few minutes before. I can usually enjoy the cigar fully instead of having to chuck it 2/3 of the way down.

I usually pair my cigars with a sweet drink like soda, lemonade, etc. As for food, I usually want something salty. But now I'll have to try the ice cream... Mmmm, ice cream...
