Question
hello.
i smoked two cigars as first time on thursday !
and then 2 cigars again yesterday [Friday]
and today im having a headache and feel like smoking again.. does that mean that im addicted already ??
and does a cigar get a person high?

Answer
No the addiction level on cigars is very low.
When you are addicted to drugs and stop like cigarettes, you get anxiety attacks, headaches, cannot go to the bathroom, also you need it to sleep and to wake up.

You want to smoke because you got high from the cigar as the tobacco has a nice amount of nicotine absorbed through the mouth.
For the headache take 2 aspirin.
Do not smoke 2 cigars a day especially to start. I have been smoking for years and 2 cigars a day makes me feel a little weird. I usually smoke 1 cigar tops per day and that is the safest for your health. Smoke one good cigar instead of 2 less expensive cigars if that is your choice.
