Very interesting...I have never noticed if being dehydrated causes the "buzz" for me...I will start paying attention to that.
Thanks!
Lots of flavour and no buzz??

I've been told by several people (even e-mailed Bryan from CigarObsession) that having a very sugary beverage can often cut down on the nicotine kick.
From my understanding, even though you're not inhaling a cigar, your saliva is becoming saturated with the nicotine and tar. So especially if you have an empty stomach at the time of smoking, having all that stuff piling up in your gut can make you feel/become pretty sick as it enters your bloodstream and messes with your blood sugar.
So, similar to the way some diabetics can offset an "attack" by downing a Coke or a glass of OJ, you can do that (or even just a spoonful of raw sugar and some water) and help yourself level out.
This happens to me any time I smoke a cigarette. So I don't smoke cigarettes :agreeclen

I'd like to 2nd Clint's recommendations and add the 601 Blue Box Press Maduro to the group, it is extremely tasty in my opinion!

Tobacco = Nicotine
They all have it and it, like taste, depends on the individual smoking it. I really don't get nicotine buzz's so I don't know if it's my genetics or what. I usually will have a beverage with my cigar which has cafeine in it or vitamin water. I don't know if that curbs the nicotine but I still find it wierd I don't have this issue.
You may have to stick with mild cigars which in my opinion does not have alot of flavor the more med-full blends have. Some off the top of my head would be an "Occidental Reserve" or a "La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte". Both great milder cigars with good flavor. I think any of Pete's Red lables would fit the bill too.

A few that come to mind are Fuente regular line ie chateau/double chateau, try a natural, maduro then move to the sun grown (good thing about these are they are avail with the different wrappers so you can see what you like), Hemingways are always good, short storys and sigs were among my first cigars. If you like Pete's smokes, you can't lose with the Cabaiguan line. smooth creamy with an underlying Pepin pepperyness. I'd stay away from anything new thats come out in the past few years as the surge for strength has been popular. G1
This is why my usual beverage whilst enjoying a cigar is a glass or two of water. Not only does it help dilute the nicotine saturated saliva, it helps cleanse the palate as well.

Don't know if you heard or not, but the Danno is making a comeback. They had such a huge response to it they are going to re-release it!
The two that jump to mind for me are:
Tabacos Baez (the Original) - I'd try this one first.
Viaje Platino
and if you want a little more oomph than the ones above, albeit not by a bunch, the EPC Short Run is also a great stick.
