Little embarassed... - Page 2

The way I was shown, and this seems to work fairly well across those of us in the Stumptown herfer group, was to draw off the cigar, tilt your chin down to your chest, and then gently attempt to push your tounge towards the roof of your mouth (think of the motion like trying to push the smoke to the back of your throat). It should come out your nose in a gentle fashion.

Also, try this (initially) on really mild smokes. I did this with a Pepin the first time and let's just say it hurt for a while.

Thanks to vstrommark for this advice!

I was at the shack this past year and around when Dave answered this question. What I remember hearing and have since been successful with is....

With your mouth closed, rest/press the tip of your tongue behind the top row of your teeth and have the back of your tongue towards the bottom of your mouth creating a sort of cavity.

try then to move your tongue towards that top of your mouth expelling the air that was in that space out your nose, you can put a finger under you nostrils to help feel that air come out. May need to move your lower jaw in an upward fashion at the same time to assist.

you can also just try to, with the cavity in the back of your mouth as described above, exhale and feel that air circulate in you mouth and finally going though your nose.

Hope this helps...

I am getting a little better.

Practice makes perfect.

Thanks for the help!

There were a few explinations here and none are the way I do it so maybe this will work for you.

Let a good petion of the smoke out but leave a bit in(of course). Close your lips. Place your tongue firmly on the roof of your mouth the tip just above your front teeth. Then begin to exhale out your nose while pushing the rest of your tongue up to the roof. It will come out.

It will burn like hell the first few times.
