If only for the Snork...
 
Are there any smokes out there you enjoy strictly for the retro-hale? I whole heartedly think snorking enhances the enjoyment on most of my smokes, if not all cigars, but have you ever run across a cigar that does not fit your flavor profile at all, yet the retro-hale keeps you coming back?

I was thinking about this the other morning while enjoying a FSS Rocky Rosado. I purchased a box from the monster a while back and actually do not enjoy the flavor profile much at all. However, the exhale through the nasal passage keeps me entertained throughout the entire smoke. I can move a lot of smoke without a lingering burn and it's a fun stick if only for the "dragon" effect on each puff. :r

So how bout it, any sticks you keep on hand as a favor to your nose?

Not really, if I don't like the taste or sensation in my mouth, it will not go through my nose.

Can't think of anything that precisely fits your particular - and oddly puzzling - dicta for me, although I did used to keep some Maria Mancini in my rotation. They seem to have a "different" flavor to them, not unpleasant or flavored, just different, with somewhat higher flavor notes. And as the nose is higher than the palate - in most folks anyway - this is perhaps the "snork" to which you refer. But this is only a guess on my part - I'm American, so not good with foreign languages. :ss

Through the nose Illusione's are specifically great. Although they are also good through the mouth palate, as well.
