Do you consciously exhale through your nose?
[Reply]

I don't know how to. Also, the few times I accidentally did it, it hurt.
[Reply]

Sometimes. Seems all I pick up is pepper.

I will usually try at least once or twice on each cigar, but I don't do it frequently or the majority of the time. Sometimes the cigar is too harsh for me so I try it once, let the eyes water and try to remember not to do it again.

I do all sorts of stuff with the smoke...French inhale, nose exhale, roll the smoke around in my mouth. I also do this thing, I will try to explain it: while nose exhaling, I "open and close" my jaw, with my mouth still closed. Kinda like... smacking your lips with your mouth closed? :-)
[Reply]

All the time.
Probably half or more of my exhales are out the nose,
at least in part. And much of my mouth exhales are
done as a "French inhale", also.
It's the only way to truly taste your smoke in its entirety.

You folks who don't do this are missing most of the flavor.
...
You DO mean when we're smoking, & not all the time, right?:-)

Absolutely. I find myself having to make sure I don't just nose exhale on occasion. I won't nose the initial blast though, NC or CC.
[Reply]

I thought I was the only person to "French inhale"! I find it easier on the palate than a complete nose exhale. I definately get more flavor out of a cigar when I do either
[Reply]

Only a few NCs I do. I find most of them to harsh to nose.
[Reply]

Sometimes I do but it is only by coincidence :-)

Since I don't intentionally inhale cigar smoke, I guess not. The few times I've inhaled cigar smoke, even my own passive smoke, it gags me badly. I've always heard that cigar smoke is high in alkalinity and very harsh. Add he fact that I have emphysema and have had my right upper lung lobe removed, it's probably not a good idea for me, but to each their own.

But I do pass smoke from my mouth out through my nose (snorking?), so I guess yes? Then, if it burns, I quit or do it a lot less frequently. With milder cigars, I tend to do this quite a bit.

I nose exhale with all my smokes NC or otherwise.
[Reply]

always with Davi's.. the other stuff I've lost a taste for. :-)
[Reply]

Almost always. I think that I did it unconsciously at first because of many years of cigarette smoking. It definitely seems to add to the enjoyment of the cigar.
[Reply]

I usually do try a few times per cigar.
[Reply]

I can't, I have a Haller cell in my right sinus and if I exhale through my nose the smoke just stays up there and burns like crazy for days.
[Reply]

Yes sir I do.....almost all the time.


My question is, WHY are you asking JUST the NC smokers Dr. Klugs? :-)
[Reply]

At least once during most smokes!!!

Always for a review!!!
[Reply]

After I learned how to nose exhale I do it on almost every draw. However, some of the stronger NCs (e.g. JdN antano) I find it more difficult (read painful) so I only do it every so often.
[Reply]

I do but only small amounts as opposed to CCs that I can nose a complete draw
