I nose exhale every puff since I learned how to do it. It's embedded in my brain. It just feels awkward not to, now, and the experience is greatly diminished when I don't.

Sometimes but only when I make a conscious effort to do so just to get a different sensing. Too much irritates the nose.

We've had this conversation before, Dave! I can't help but exhale out of my nose. It's not possible for me to smoke a cigar without doing it.

Oppps...just saw this thread is pointed at the NC smokers

On a few occasions. I must admit it DOES add an extra dimension to the overall experience- but I'm often hesitant because it can be very unpleasant if done incorrectly(which is how I do it too often!)

Yes I do, but to be totally honest, it doesn't help me taste the flavors any better. (unless it's pepper of course)

I do it with all cigars. However, I do it less with NCs.

Yes, at least a few times per stick. The stronger the cigar, the less I'll probably do it.

I nose exhale to some degree on everything I smoke, regardless of which of the various islands it may originate from. Different tobaccos have different profiles, and an exhale through the nose is important for me to get a handle on those nuances.

Of course once in a while, just one nose exhale is sufficient to completely wither ones nasal hairs. It took me almost a month to recover from a manly nose exhale of a LFD Maduro Chisel.

I usuially nose exhale every few puffs. If a cigar is stronger than I would prefer to nose exhale I blow out half the smoke, refill my mouth and then nose exhale.

CCs are made for snorking, but I do so with my NCs all the time.

It is my belief that all cigars are made to be smoked how the owner of the cigar pleases regardless of where the tobacco was grown. Just because tobacco was grown on one island versus another doesn't mean it should be smoked differently. That is an argument that makes no sense.

And I'm not directing this at you Andy. Your post just summed up what I think Klugs was looking for.
