Question for NC smokers

[jledou]

I will usually try at least once or twice on each cigar, but I don't do it frequently or the majority of the time. Sometimes the cigar is too harsh for me so I try it once, let the eyes water and try to remember not to do it again.

I do all sorts of stuff with the smoke...French inhale, nose exhale, roll the smoke around in my mouth. I also do this thing, I will try to explain it: while nose exhaling, I "open and close" my jaw, with my mouth still closed. Kinda like... smacking your lips with your mouth closed?

I thought I was the only person to "French inhale"! I find it easier on the palate than a complete nose exhale. I definately get more flavor out of a cigar when I do either

Almost always. I think that I did it unconsciously at first because of many years of cigarette smoking. It definitely seems to add to the enjoyment of the cigar.

I usually do try a few times per cigar.

All the time.
Probably half or more of my exhales are out the nose,
at least in part. And much of my mouth exhales are
done as a "French inhale", also.
It's the only way to truly taste your smoke in its entirety.

You folks who don't do this are missing most of the flavor.
...
You DO mean when we're smoking, & not all the time, right?

I get some smoke through my nose on almost every pull. I have to consciously try to only smoke with my mouth.

I do with my non cuban pipe baccy

Yes i do it. Helps pick up on certain flavours for me.

I try to do a partial nose exhale on just about every draw, whatever I'm smoking. Of course I have to adjust my habits to accommodate the characteristics of the particular stick.

If it were so bad I couldn't, I would toss it.

Pretty much my feelings. I do like to exhale that way three or four times with a cigar... preferably when the smoke is fairly "cool."
