About two weeks ago I was having an Illusione Rothschild, and really paying attention to it. I noticed it seemed a bit bland. So as I was focusing on it, I retrohaled...and boom, there was the flavor.
I realized that for the last few months, apparently I was NOT retrohaling and didn't even realize it. I think it's because for a while there my seasonal allergies were worse than usual. So maybe subconsciously I was keeping myself from sending smoke into my sinuses and nasal passages.
Either way, my allergies are better. So since that night I've been deliberately getting back into regular retrohales. And man, it's amazing how much more depth of flavor my cigars have once again.
