Another snork thread... kinda

[wayner123]

Over the years I have heard many reasons for snorking and how it helps to "taste" a cigar better. And it has been said that NC smokers for the most part are mouth only smokers. There are also a numbers of reasons people come to this conclusion, but most often it seems that it's because NC smokers don't retrohale/snork a cigar. I will agree that for some reason it seems that retrohaling a CC is much easier on the sinuses than a NC. And for that reason I have been experimenting.

I usually snork pretty much any cigar. I have bad sinuses but I don't let that stop me. No pain no gain right?? But some people either can't do it because of the pain/burn associated with it, or they just can't get the method correct. I propose a new method though, that I think pretty much anyone can do and has great results. They provide equal or greater "flavor/taste" than that of snorking. Here is the method:

Take a puff of your cigar. Then make sure you have enough air by closing your mouth and breathing in through your nose. Then simply open your mouth and breath out your nose. The smoke will find it's way out of your mouth and you will be getting the "flavor" through your nose. If there is any smoke left over in your mouth, you can help it out with your tongue or simply exhale it out to clear your mouth for the next puff. It's sort of a way to cheat snorking. I find that doing this helps to improve flavor while not burning your sinuses. Which may result in an even potent result.

I know some of you may read this and think who cares, smoke how you like. But I know others will enjoying trying something new and it's something I have been experimenting with. To each their own.
