Inhaling or not?

[michael69]

a little bit, now and again, during the course of a cigar (apparently that's how many cubans do it)

also, I agree with Lascaux; nose exhale/inhale is another experience for the mix.

I tend to think all varieties of smoking technique are valid, and all (to me at least) add to the overall appreciation of all aspects of a cigar.

for what its worth!

I exhale very often through the nose. I may inhale a tiny bit from time to time.

[Smallclub]

I exhale through the nose every puff from my cigar or my pipe.
You miss all the subtilities of the blend if you don't do it, at least from time to time?

I sometimes inhale the smoke of a light, sweet cigar, but not on purpose.

[Burner]

No inhalation for me. I'd never get up the hill on my bike

Snorking,it's the only way to truly taste a cigar

Indeed! I do it several times per cigar.
Never inhale!

Re: Inhaling or not?

I've accidentally inhaled once or twice and it felt like someone had stamped on my chest…very painful…ow!!!

[Stevieboy]

Lol. Totally agree with you Andy [QUOTE="Cigar-aficionado"]Never smoked cigarettes so never been tempted to inhale, your taste buds are in your mouth not your lungs/QUOTE]

As an ex cigarette smoker & a newbie to cigars, accidentally inhaled the cigar smoke a couple of times. NEVER again, absolutely horrible.
Snorking/retrohaling a little strong on the nose for me at present but getting used to it & yes you def get those more subtle flavours coming thru that way

I smoked cigarettes for about 15 years but never once been tempted inhale cigar smoke. I do it occasionally when drunk though. Most unpleasant IMO!

[neuticles]

inhaling? You mean that you actually smoke these things? I usually cook and eat them

mmmm..... cigar stew !!!!!

My very first cigar was a piece of pish from Germany which desintegrated in my mouth and I inhaled a bit. OMG never ever ever ever ever again.

Cigars are the Bentley/Rolls Royce. Don't inhale. I exhale through the nose some times tho!

[snooky]

Only smoked cigars if i had to inhale to enjoy them my next move would be to bin the lot .

I think if you've smoked cigarettes then you are more likely to inhale. I will sometimes let some of the smoke out then have a cheeky bit left to inhale. On the whole I enjoy it but would never inhale a whole mouthful.

That's exactly the same as me. Generally i'll do this three or four times during a stick, but I try to space these out to stop c-sickness. I exhale through my nose often, just to see if there's much development happening throughout the burn. I do find that you get a nice whack of flavour/aroma through the nose.

I inhale the odd time.
