Another snork thread... kinda

[quantim0]

I have no problem doing it with most NCs. Once I got used to the burn, it's pretty easy. I know certain cigars need a smaller amount of smoke though the nose, so I take precautions to make sure I don't kill myself.

It isn't that I cannot snork or retro hale a NC it's that all I usually get is a huge pepper blast. It is just not pleasant. As I retrohale this Monte no.2 my nose picks up the smell of the flavors in the cigar, not pepper. That said there are few NCs that are nice to snork but not enough that I'm going to try it with every one I smoke.

In my experience, it's pretty easy to tell from a regular draw/exhale whether you're going to get a pepper explosion in your nostrils if you snork. I would only put the line between NCs and CCs in the sense that the pepper-bomb sticks are the ones that are difficult for snorking and there aren't really any CC pepper-bombs. At the same time, there are many, many, many non-pepper-bomb NCs and I find a lot of them to be both entirely pleasant and very revealing/educational/tasty to snork.

Or, to make a long story short, I call on the "CCs are for snorkers and NCs are for non-snorkers" myth.
