Question for NC smokers

[smokin5]

All the time.
Probably half or more of my exhales are out the nose,
at least in part. And much of my mouth exhales are
done as a "French inhale", also.
It's the only way to truly taste your smoke in its entirety.

You folks who don't do this are missing most of the flavor.
...
You DO mean when we're smoking, & not all the time, right?

I get some smoke through my nose on almost every pull. I have to consciously try to only smoke with my mouth.

I do with my non cuban pipe baccy

Yes i do it. Helps pick up on certain flavours for me.

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.

If it were so bad I couldn't, I would toss it.

Pretty much my feelings. I do like to exhale that way three or four times with a cigar... preferably when the smoke is fairly "cool."

[rizzle]

Absolutely. I find myself having to make sure I don't just nose exhale on occasion. I won't nose the initial blast though, NC or CC.

[Jbailey]

Only a few NCs I do. I find most of them to harsh to nose.

[drjammer]

Sometimes I do but it is only by coincidence

Since I don't intentionally inhale cigar smoke, I guess not. The few times I've inhaled cigar smoke, even my own passive smoke, it gags me badly. I've always heard that cigar smoke is high in alkalinity and very harsh. 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.

I nose exhale with all my smokes NC or otherwise.

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.

What he said... pretty much exactly.

I can't, I have a Haller cell in my right sinus and if I exhale through my nose the smoke just stays up there and burns like crazy for days.

[TripleF]

Yes sir I do.....almost all the time.


My question is, WHY are you asking JUST the NC smokers Dr. Klugs?

[Skywalker]

At least once during most smokes!!!

Always for a review!!!

After I learned how to nose exhale I do it on almost every draw. However, some of the stronger NCs (e.g. JdN antano) I find it more difficult (read painful) so I only do it every so often.
