Training taste buds.

I read somewhere to exhale 80-90% of the smoke then start the retrohale, unfortunately it isn't an exact science, sometimes I get out of it with a mild sinus irritation, sometimes my eyes tear up, and sometimes it feels like an m-80 just went off in my head. Either way it isn't pleasant, tolerable most of the time, but never pleasant.

Something I forgot to mention but it's important: purge.

Every few puffs, purge the cigar. You'll find that it helps clear out a lot of the charry/burned tastes that can occur as a result of lighting or re-lighting.

Purge, then sip—then retrohale. Try that and see if it doesn't make "nose smoking" a whole new experience for you.

You should read that third link I posted and give it a try.
