How long do you hold it?

[PeeJay]

Ever concerned with my health MLW thinks that I hold the smoke in my mouth longer than those fellow smokers that she knows. Time it from when you take the cigar out of your mouth to when you exhale. I hold it for 6-7 seconds.
The stopwatch function on your phone is perfect for this. It would be interesting to discover an average.

Like you peejay sometimes less.
That question is a bit like saying how long is a piece of string.

All depends how you smoke I suppose , I'm a bit of a chuffer and get through a cigar fairly quickly

I'd say around 3 seconds give or take...

2-3 seconds... But occasionally it can be 4-5

Including retro hale?

3 to 5 seconds if I allow the smoke to escape slowly of its own accord before remove the cigar. If I'm holding the smoke back its whilst exhaling through thin lips or pursing & then it's of up to 5 or 6 seconds.

Struggling to retrohale...only managed to do it a few times.o otherwise I'm chocking away...strange things I can do it easily with a shisha pipe

Interesting development, when I timed it this morning I was smoking a little Toscanello. I did it again this afternoon with a friend and we were smoking 64 gauge cigars and found that I held it for no more than about 3 seconds so quantity of smoke is obviously a factor.

I would say about 3/4 sec for me

By the time I have exhaled all the smoke probably getting on for seven seconds as well

Interesting question PeeJay. I don't have a clue but will think about it next cigar.

3 seconds. Not sure about that retrohaling lark.
