Question
hey sorry for the questions but i smoked a cigar with my friend last night and i inhaled it and now today my lungs feel so irritated and its harder to breathe any suggestions??
Greg,
Cigars aren't meant to be inhaled. Cigar smoking is all about taste, and you don't taste anything by inhaling the smoke. Cigarette smokers inhale because that gets more nicotine into the blood stream, which is what they are craving.
Next time you smoke, resist the temptation to take smoke in to your lungs or exhale through your nose, and just enjoy the taste of the smoke in your mouth. That'll get you on track to truly appreciating great cigars.

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
