On a few occasions. I must admit it DOES add an extra dimension to the overall experience- but I'm often hesitant because it can be very unpleasant if done incorrectly(which is how I do it too often!)

Yes I do, but to be totally honest, it doesn't help me taste the flavors any better. (unless it's pepper of course)

I do it with all cigars. However, I do it less with NCs.

Yes, at least a few times per stick. The stronger the cigar, the less I'll probably do it.

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.

It's pretty easy.

WIthout a cigar...

1. Close your mouth tight and breathe in and out of your nose.

after a few times...

2. Open your jaw as far as it will go without seperating/opening your lips and keep inhaleing and exhaling through your nose.

after a few times....

3. add to the above puffing out your cheeks as far as you can without breaking the seal of your lips. Holding air in your mouth like a balloon. If you do it well you can create/feel the pressure on your cheeks independent of breathing in and out of your nose.

after a few times....

4. Take a full nasal inhale independent of but with your cheeks nice and full of air. On the exhale concentrate closing your jaw tight, defalating your cheeks and minimizing the airspace left in your mouth. Think about using your tongue to force the air up and back it might help.

If you got your cheeks to deflate and your mouth to close up without leaking any air through your lips.. you just did a nasal exhale. The air that was pressurizing your cheeks had to go somewhere. :) The key at first is to make sure your lungs are full so that you have the airway moving. After a bit of practice you can get the air/smoke out of your mouth thru your nose starting with empty lungs.

Add he fact that I have emphysema and have had my right upper lung lobe removed, it's probably not a good idea for me, but to each their own.

But I do pass smoke from my mouth out through my nose (snorking?), so I guess yes? Then, if it burns, I quit or do it a lot less frequently. With milder cigars, I tend to do this quite a bit.

You don't have to inhale into the lungs to exhale out through the nose. Read the smoking technique thread. I finally got the technique down and it's like I never smoked cigars before...well worth the practice.
