Pneumonia

[Robario12]

Anyone get it? How long did you hold off of smoking?

I understand there are many severities, but there are so many good sticks out, id like to hear what the other cigar fellas have to say before I goto town.

Thanks all!

Dont even look at cigars till your better brother; I had a serve cold last year and I smoked a few sticks while "recovering"; all I did was feel worse and regret any money I spent on trying to smoke during the few week period. Mucus build-up and tasteless smoke a good pair do not make

I hear ya. Tricky part is I feel better than I did last week. Prob going to hold off for a month if I can.

Dam black label CGs keep calling me.

 

[CigarGavin]

The longer the better! just not too long....

Thats funny you mention the Tat Black CG; Ive been looking at them for a few weeks everytime I open the Humi.... may have to light it up when I get an evening this week

Dude don't lol. I had it 5 years ago when I was 20, and I smoked cigarettes back then, and I should have listened and not smoked. It was hell man. you will really regret it, well at least I did.

Do not smoke. Period.

Wait it out, def like other brothers are saying. Not worth risking your health. Be well bro...

DONT DO IT! first you'll just prolong the pnuemonia and second when you that sick everycigar will taste like a dog rocket. so unless it's a Ron Mexico all you'll be doing is wasting a good cigar

I'll also jump in and say don't do it. I've made the mistake, not worth it... Especially if it's something you are really looking forward too.

Hey guys - thanks for the feedback and concern.

I understand and didt plan on having a cigar while I was sick. My question was more of when is it ok to have one, considering that pneumonia is said to linger. I have felt better for a week now, and plan on waiting another week or two. Is that enough? Should I wait another month?

and yes, I know the ideal answer is to wait forever, but I thought this was a cigar forum.

I would wait until you can breathe normal ( no fluid in the lungs, no coughing, clear sinus, etc...). Also wait until food tasted like good again. After that I would think you should be ok.

Thanks Scroni! Thats exactly what I was thinking, with maybe some buffer time.

I'll prob know if Im ready or not by if I taste anything when I finally try one. I'll err on the conservative side.

I had it a couple years ago, and like a fool, I kept on smoking. The strange thing is, every time I had a cigar, I felt better, and could breath better, but I really think I prolonged it by my foolish actions.
