I've only had one day that cigars kicked my ass. Smoked a Partagas ISOM in about 30 minutes, then one part of a culebra Partagas ISOM in about 20 minutes, then was smoking 2 Edge Battalions at the same time...one regular and one maduro. I was at an event and the Battalions were just released so the rep gave me the regular and I asked about the strength of the maddie. Then, he clipped a maddie and said "try 'em side by side and tell me what you think". I made it about 75% through both and suddenly felt quite nauseous. I put both down, drank some soda and beer, and relaxed for about 30 minutes while my buddies laughed like crazy. I eventually bought a box of the Edge Battalion maddies that evening
