JR Kipling Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hello everyone. I do quite a bit of traveling, but am currently writing this from the upper NW corner of the USA. I got back into cigar smoking after being away from it for more than 10 years. (Nasal & sinus problems.) Yes, I remember the 90s cigar boom well ! - - Last spring I drove by a cigar lounge, and on a whim thought I'd go in. Oh the wonderful sights & aromas in their humidor ! And they had beer on tap from a local micro-brewery. I ordered a pint and lit up my first cigar in over a decade . . . and it was wonderful. The old sinus and allergy issues were gone. I can now enjoy cigars again. I am a happy man. I found this website, as likely others have done, by doing a websearch on a few cigars I was interested in. I thoroughly enjoyed the honest and humour filled FOH reviews on YouTube. I look forward to participating on the forum & learning more about habanos. Thank you.

My sinuses are acting up on my lately, what problems have you had and how did you deal with it? Thanks for the welcome. I had allergy ('hay fever') in the past, which would also cause sinus problems. So, I had a stuffed up nose and pressure felt in my head from blocked sinuses. Pollen or smoke would trigger this reaction. I love activities outdoors and enjoy a nice campfire - but I had to give that up along with my cigars. These things aren't enjoyable when you can't breathe through your nose & have a sinus headache. Fast forward 10+ years later and my earlier mentioned experience in the cigar lounge. It seems that I am no longer bothered by smoke. After discovering this, I even started a campfire as an experiment. No problem with that either. I tried many things during the time allergies & sinuses bothered me. Most of those remedies were of no more than minor help. People do sometimes 'grow out of' their allergies, That may have happened to me. I also moved to an area that has much less tree pollen than where I had lived for so many years before. Perhaps that is at the root of my improvement. All the best regarding your sinuses. Everyone's situation is different. I hope you find what works best for you. Nothing that I actually did myself, provided much relief to me. But that doesn't mean your experience will be the same. - JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
