Cigar Smoking Technique

[Montano]

Is the nasal exhale something done every few puffs, or do you guys do it with every puff ?

It varies with the individual,some mostly do(my camp),some not so much.

I get the "aroma is the taste" theory.

Much depends on the cigar. With Cuban's its at least 2 out of three puffs for me, but most NC's are too harsh to nasal exhale consistently. Once every 4 or 5 puffs or even less with a peppery cigar like a Pepin Blue. The more you smoke it becomes habitual. I have to tell myself not to snork when I smoke and NC or it will singe my nose hairs.

Every puff for me, but I smoke 99% Cuban. I agree with Bob's thoughts reference the NCs.

Every single puff gets a nasal exhale at the end.............changed my smoking experience for the better in the extreme.

I blame Klugs

QFT. Every puff. I am a 100% snorker.

I find that I am too. I wouldn't exactly call it an exhale though, I just push a little bit of the smoke remaining in my mouth out through my nose (after the initial exhale). I then continue that same motion with my tongue for a bit and the flavors really jump out.

This was really informative

Personally I used guillotines only for a short while. Now I just use my thumbnail.Bad habit I guess picked up in Honduras a few years ago.

My own personal preference for lighting is wooden matches.

Sounds weird I guess but I swear I can taste and smell the fuel used in Butane lighters through the cigar.

Wooden matches also seems very traditional and I think I get a much more leveled burn on the tip.

The rest of this was just awesome!
