Tom, I've had 'dry throat', since last March. Been to docs & they really can't come up w/ anything except Biotene spray. Stopping cigars didn't work.
Tonight's smoke is an H.Upmann Chairman Reserve Churchill.

I have, what I can only describe, as a lump in my throat Cec. They did the endo and told me all looks good, but I have to go for a "swallow test"...no fugging jokes here...to see if anything shows from that.
Only thing the Doc could advise, was to double up on my heartburn meds.
I smoked an Undercrown Toro anyway...What do Doctors know anywho.

Acid Reflux maybe? I had an issue ways back and now I take a pill for life! Jim Could be Jim, but the Doc, as usual, doesn't really know yet. I think that's why he said to double up on the meds for a month. If that works...it works...damned if I know! Edit to add: Is there a Doctor in the house?

paging Dr. davey!
i had an issue with that too...but, it was after my neck surgery. i still have to be aware of what i am swallowing! (i am reiterating what smoke said about no jokes...;-) )
i had a really scary experience last yr. when nobody was around. i had a piece of hard candy in my mouth...unexpectedly, it went down my throat...whole. it became lodged and i tried not to panic...was very proud of myself for keeping a clear head. i know you can do the heimlich thingie on yourself...but, was afraid i might crack my own rib. so...i settled down as best i could and drank hot water(as hot as i could stand)to melt the candy. well, as you can see...it worked! :-P.....however, i stay away from hard candy that is larger than a dime.
i had one of those endoscopy things done yrs. ago.....went on pepcid and the problem went away. at least for a number of yrs. now...i just try to limit hot, spicy, greasy and many other foods. LOL it's HELL gettin' old! i just refuse to do it...get old that is!

Fired up a pretty old Top Shelf Signature last night. Cello was brown as the wrapper and damn good smoke. Wish I had more sitting around.
Smokem, here's hoping all works out.
