Thanks again Jost. The pharmacist I talked to at WalGreens said that by smoking the tobacco it would release amines and go directly into the blood stream and very definitely be able to cause a reaction. I have no idea though. Half the pharmacists say yes and the other half say probably not. Cigars are a bit different than regular cigarettes. I was wondering if there could be any appreciable amount of tyramine in the smoke itself or how long it would take to build up to 6mg's of tyramine.
For sure it's not the healthiest thing to do, but you see far more old cigar smokers than cigarette smokers. Smoking a good cigar on a special occasion is really all I'm talking about. Certainly not an everyday event. Thanks again for the response. All the best! -H. Upmann
