The K thing is the perfect way to splain it!

Yes for sure if not doing this you are missing a big slap in the face with flavor.
Before I started smoking and tasting a cigar this way I always thought what the heck is all the hub bub with these things, they just taste like blek!

Now its woweeee!!!! Thats where I get all the sweet spice, coffee, fresh baked oatmeal cookies flavors from now I think. Really makes a difference!

I with you there brother. I used to smoke cigarettes a long while ago and could get the circular breathing type of smoking going. But when I started to read about snorking here I couldn't figure out how to do it without fully inhaling first.

Then last weekend my I was telling my nonsmoking wife (she dabbled in early university) about it. So she takes my cigar from me and, BAM, she does it. I tried to hide my shame, took the cigar back from her and then just did it.

Take a draw on you cigar, close your mouth and exhale through your nose. The air in your mouth (and the smoke) will go out with what is also in your lungs.

I found it kinda burned the back of my sinuses a bit, but if you try, you can let out smaller amounts.

Good luck with your efforts.

Easy prep work... right now without a cigar:

Inhale though you mouth/nose however you like. Close your mouth and exhale through your nose. Do it again and try to exhale through your mouth and nose. Modulating how much of nose vs mouth is just a matter of "gettin some touch".

Thats it!

Do the exact same thing (exhale) after taking a draw on your cigar next time you smoke. Make sure you dont fully exhale before taking the draw which might be causing you the problem. Since you are not "inhaling" when you draw on a cigar you need some air in your lungs to be able to exhale thru your nose/mouth vs just puffin the smoke out of your mouth.

That was the problem for me when I first tried to exhale through my nose. Make sure to take a breath before drawing on the cigar so there's air in your lungs to exhale with.

When your mouth is closed move your tongue back (similar to when you swallow) while exhaling through your nose (Croatan's "make a small sound in the back of your throat" is a great one, I had never heard that). Your tongue will move the remaining smoke that is inside your Oral cavity back to your throat and carry it out your nose with the other exhaled air from your lungs.... easier than this sounds!

Agreed, a very good explanation by Croatan. To me, it's a little like when you laugh or make a snickering sound nasally, but far more relaxed.

You could try french inhaling to get yourself accustomed to having the smoke in your nose. I tend to do this a bit less agressively than blowing smoke out of my nose, but you will pick up on some interesting aromas from different Marquees.
