Smoking a cigar makes me burp

Description: The last part of my mini-series for cigar smoking. i finally made it to the full-sized, full-strength cigar and i found out a very interesting thing. cigar smoking makes me burp. my body is not used to smoking cigars, so at first i cough a couple of times, but that goes away. what takes place instead is me burping repeatedly. the cigar is not mild, that is for sure, and i soldier on until i have smoked about 90% of the cigar.
