    I like your style, being on the vodka and hot sauce!

    Sore throats and cigars do not mix....the smoke irritates the lining of your throat and then inflames it. The reason it gets inflamed is to counter the effects of the irritant so until you stop with the smoking your throat will being to heal. Sometimes we just gottta bite the bullet and heal. My Dads Hot Toddy recipe that I used to drink even when I was a kid still works today: Cup of your favorite tea 1 ounce of lemon juice 2 jiggers of whiskey ( knob creek or similar ) 1 ounce of pure honey Mix with 6 ounces of water w/tea.....heat and steep tea bag in mix for a good minute and drink HOT... This will help you sleep and will help heal the lining of your throat. If after a few days of taking this that it isn't healing then see your Dr......

    I agree with Ray, go to the dr. Sounds like strep to me.

    Just finished another hot toddy. Didn't get to do the vodka and hot sauce yet. I'm taking a break from cigars for a few days. I'm going to see if it can heal enough to smoke on Christmas. My fingers are crossed. If I'm not better on Christmas, I will head to the doctor's the day after because I will really be bummed if I can't enjoy a stick on my birthday (New Years Eve).

    +1. This is almost my recipe except that I use hot water instead of tea.

    He gave us the tea as kids so it would be tasty enough to drink and these days with so many types of flavor profiles Hot Toddies are what keep me from getting colds...have not had one in 10 years because of this stuff. It's like the Airborne except this is a home remedy that if I feel my throat getting a bit scratchy I drink a 16 ounces cup of this recipe w/bigelow vanilla and caramel tea....wow!!!! This is like dessert and I sleep like a baby all night and the next day my throat feels great.

    Just got back from urgent care. They did a strep test, it came back negative. Should be on the road to recovery and back on my feet in time for my birthday.

    I'll give the tea a try next time. Does sound good. Especially the vanilla caramel tea.

    The tea was really helping, I was just worried I my be contagious and will be around the elderly for the holidays. I didn't want to spread it.
