I don't think this is an acquired tolerance. It would be interesting to find out what it is though.

I chew a can or two of snuff a day. That dictates my "normal" sugar balance, which is fine (so say the tests).
When I smoke a couple cigars I usually end up craving candy, so I keep plenty around.
If I don't smoke a cigar, I don't touch it.
So there's definately something in there "mechanism-wise" that affects sugar levels differently. I did research on nicotine in snuff vs. cigarettes, but never vs. cigars.
I get the nic from snuff through my lip. The nic from cigars I get through my sinus. The uptake and endurance is probably the sway factor.
I don't get sick from the cigar, just crave sugar afterwards.

Back to the "man" portion of the thread...
Sofaman was smoking a Tat Noella Reserva beside me a few days ago and I made him move downwind cause it was so gross it turned my stomach.
I tried it a couple times, and it turned my stomach.
I pride myself on being able to smoke anything, but whatever filler Pete Johnson likes, it makes me gag. Kinda like sweet potatoes.
