Retrohaling do you do it?

[Fourtotheflush]

Yes every few puffs unless it tears up my sinus

I'll do it every few puffs. Definitely enhances flavor IMO.

practically every puff. Only started doing it in the last couple years, and now it seems like i can't experience the true flavor of the cigar without a retrohale. It's essential on milder smokes.

I have tried but cannot seem to get the hang of it have watched videos and read descriptions but not something I have been able to figure out. Don't wanna hijack the thread but any sure fire advice?

I feel like my nose is gonna melt off my face when I attempt to retrohale.

Honestly, on some sticks I feel that way but others our just amazing to retrohale.

I do it without thought anymore, as I'm expelling the smoke from my mouth I push some through my sinus as well. I would say nearly every puff. I also purge at least once a third.

Sadly, it's one of those things that you have to practice. Not every way works for every person, and there are several different ways to retrohale. Full puff of smoke, half puff, last bit of partial puff, first bit of partial puff, partial puff while expelling, etc. Have to find out what works best for you, then practice that.

Start of slow, first you'll want to release most of the smoke through your mouth(maybe 75%) then breathe in through just your nose without inhaling any smoke then push your tongue up and back and breathe out. Eventually you won't have to do anything with your tongue but it will help you learn how to pull air from your mouth to your nose. As you get more used to it, try more smoke...every cigar will vary by how much smoke you can retrohale, NCs tend to be harder to retrohale because they're generally soo spicy and strong. You'll start to get the feeling of how much and how fast to blow the smoke out of your nose.

Sometimes you'll also need to hold the smoke in your mouth a little bit before retrohaling to let the smoke cool a bit, then you'll want to blow slowly out of your nose. Slowing down how quickly you smoke helps keep the cigar cool so this isn't as much of a problem but sometimes, it's just how the cigar is burning.

It sounds a lot harder than it is, it's like riding a bike...once you get that feeling of how to balance, it becomes second nature. I don't even think about it most of the time.

Done on every puff with about 1/3 of the draw a retrohale.

Thank you
I will try this tomorrow when I light my first cigar of the day. Or if able to later this evening although that is not looking like it will happen.

Even every few draws can be overpowering but certainly you have to do it to appreciate the full flavor profile of a cigar.

Tried to retro once, but was on a Tat Fausto. Did not fare well with my nostrils. haha. Since then I've been a bit gun-shy...

You're missing out on 95% of the flavors/nuances of a fine cigar then... ;)

two times per third.
