I just simply take a puff and in the middle of the exhale I close my mouth while still exhaling and the smoke is forced out of my nose.
But don't worry if you don't like Cubans, their are ALOT of other choices out there and no shame in liking what you like.

That's what retrohaling is.
If I retrohale I usually only retrohale about 20% through my nose and the other 80% through my mouth like normal. Even with mild cigars it's still something I'm not completely used to.

I haven't exactly found any dog rockets but then again, I haven't gone out of my way to look for them either.
It just baffles me that A LOT OF MEMBERS ON CA seem to think that CC's are a lot better than NC's.
I feel like I am missing something, I just don't get whats better about them I guess.......
The NC's I have smoked generally have a LOT more smoke and a deeper more rich spicy flavor.
Don't get me wrong, this is fun and I appreciate Dan doing this but I guess the CC's just aren't what I thought they would be.
Not the Holy Grail that I was expecting.

I don't think that a lot of members on CA think that CC's are superior to NC's. I do however think that a lot of members might
prefer to smoke CC's over NC's. The general consensus here is smoke what you like and like what you smoke
CC's might not be your bag, but as Dan said, if you're used to and enjoy that strong peppery kick that a lot of NC's have, aged CC's might not be your thing.
That's what's great about this whole exercise though. You can come into it being completely new to everything about a CC and derive your own thoughts and opinions about them without "smoking the band" or even unconsciously having somebody else's opinion affect what you think about a cigar
