Caffeine and Nicotine

[sean]

So, I was enjoying a Joya de Nicaragua Antano 70 the other day with a cup of coffee and the evening quickly turned sour... I got the Nicotine sickness. I had eaten well before hand, so my only guess is that the caffeine was to blame for the nausea (either that, or I am total smoke-pansy). Does anyone have any experience, or know anything about how caffeine and nicotine combine/interact once in the bloodstream?

hmm.. I haven't heard of this. I routinely smoke and drink coffee at the same time and have only had a problem once. The only time it happened was when I was smoking too fast.

 

[dpricenator]

either one on an empty stomach can be bad. The Antano is not a weak cigar, so it could just have been a case of Nic Sic

 

[sean]

I'm right there with you... Coffee is what I am drinking half the time when I smoke, but I'm not always smoking something as full-bodied as the Joya Antano 70... but this stick as not gotten to be before, hence the confusion.

I don't know what the truth to it is but I've been told before there can be an over stimulus to your body with the caffeine and nicotine combo's. And that Joya De Nic (one of my absolute fav's) is definitely a full bodied cigar.

I normally get sick if I don't keep a certain level in me:grin:

I'm addicted to caffeine and smoke while drinking usually Coke or Sweet Tea. Obviously neither have the same amount of caffeine as coffee, but I've never been bothered by it. I just smoke on a full stomach, go from there. If worse comes to worse, just eat something in the middle of smoking.

I often times will eat some grapes with a Connecticut shade, seem to go together nicely. That's more of a pleasure thing as it's been a while since a Connecticut kicked my ass. lol. I do have a few that are supposed to be problematic though in the humidor.

Only had the nic sick one time. Opus super beli smoked very fast about a year ago. Puked my guts out. I have been smoking Opus for years (since 96) and this is the only one that ever got me.

The "Betty Ford Speed Ball" will get you on an empty stomach...:barf:

Cigars and coffee keep me regular. :eyebrow:

I often, daily almost, smoke and enjoy a cup(s) of coffee. At worse I get sweaty and a bit light headed, but that is usually when not having a substantial meal sometime in the recent past.

Nicotine and Caffeine are both stimulants (if it ends in 'ine' its a drug!). I have an anxiety disorder so both can effect me strongly.

Easy, simple fix.

When you're smoking a face melter, put sugar in your coffee (or espresso).

It helps counteract the Nic Sic.

Other things to consider - keep chocolate handy - works the same way.

caffeine does that to me sporadically, some days have no effect and sometime just the opposite. Upset stomach, light headed, etc...etc. *Nickerson is correct two drugs in your system could lead to anything. Do you tale any other meds, did you take any pain pills, or anything else that could of contributed to this ill effect?

Heres what you do next time: As soon as you feel it, hop in a steaming hot shower. Let the water run down real good and get that sand out of your vagina!


Ha. Have I been in the Army too long?

Ha!


I've only got Nic sic once. It was from an oliva V about 3 months after I really got into the hobby. I was miserable.

My go to rules are: eat, be hydrated, and try to smoke slowish

Now I gotta clean coffee off everything!!!

[xxzzfile]

I drink coffee and smoke cigars all day long. I make sure to squeeze in some water and some xanny bars to keep the edge off.

Pussies

Douche-bag.

On another note, try not to swallow the saliva after puff's as much :dunno:

My stomach feels a little weird if I swallow a lot of saliva while smoking it seems.
