Hello
I'd have to say the cigar that really kicked my ass was a Oliva V double Toro on a near empty stomach. A Camacho Diploma, Oliva V mini belicoso and 5 Vegas AAA have also slapped me around a bit too.
Thanks for the posts everyone. There were some really great cigars posted. I have to say, I have had the 5 Vegas Cask Strength II, Oliva V, Gurkha Titan, and MOW Ruination and the Armada still does something to me that no cigar ever has. They are all really great cigars though. I definitely recommend all the above mentioned. But like somebody said, don't feel like you have to finish them. That is what gets you in trouble!!!!
The first one that I remember getting the sweats from a cigar is a Padron Fumas Maduro sometime in late 2004. It was some mixed filler skinny little 6.5 inch cigar with a pig tail and it gave me the sweats for an hour or two after I finished. Luckily my wife (GF at the tim) was cooking italian food and we we're watching the sopranos at the time so life was good, despite being super pale and sweating for no reason, hahaha.
Been on the lookout for more of these but I just found out they we're discontinued a few years back. bummer.
Aside from that I got into cigars because I Chewed Redman so my toloerance was ok to begin with, and not too many really gave me a beating. The two Diesels still give me that good little reminder about why we all love tobacco though but its in a good way.
It's wierd how these things affect people differently. I've had an Oliva V torpedo on an empty stomach and was fine, but I've had an RP Sun Grown that absolutely buckled my knees.
Joya de Nicaragua Antano. Had nothing to eat all day, while I was waiting for my wife to meet me at the casino smoked the thing in the bar. Two shots of Tequila and I barfed. I was done for the night. Great cigar, but it will be a while before I try another one.
It happened to me twice: Once early morning while smoking a Liga Privada No.9 and second time with Padron 1926 number 9. I thought I would have an heart attack. My blood pressure went up and I felt close to death. I remember both days I was tired and stressed out. I heard Warlock cigar can also kick your A$$. I have one but haven't dare to smoke it.

I 'spose I should specify that these smokes never "defeated me". I still smoke them regularly. They just gave me that little gut punch that I like from strong smokes.
Maybe it's just me but I had a Camacho Corojo 10th Anniversary. I powered through it but ended up back on my bed laid out without any ability to move. What a great smoke. I think next time I need a bigger meal.
I handle most smokes really well but for the life of me San Cristobal always puts me down afterwards. I don't feel that way until after the smoking is done. I still love this cigar!!!
Personally I find the Armada more of a medium body full flavor cigar. Of course I can't prove it but my palate tells me that AJ is blending some real Cuban tobacco into these. Hence the hefty price tag.
It's a wonderful cigar.

Not just you brother - Camacho Corojo will KICK YOUR A$$, particularly if you dont have some food in you before you smoke it.
Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch double toro gave me the gut ache. I did have 4 sticks while golfing on an empty stomach, the last being an LHCOF and it hit me kinda hard.
Has to be the Cu-Avana Punisher. Though, the smoke was medium-full (it could be FULL, I have a high-tolerance for the bold stuff), the wrapper must have been sprayed with chile sauce or something, because you can't feel your lips for 15 minutes....like you just ate a Jalapeno pepper. The stick is amazing though, if you like full cigars.
