If it works for you...not at all

I've wanted to do this, but couldn't figure out how, until now! Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!

This is how I've always smoked cigars. My interpretation was if you *didn't* do this, pretty much most cigars taste the same...

Congrats to anyone who just now started exhaling through your nose. I just tried puffing in my mouth and then slowly letting it go back out through my mouth and you can't taste anything but tobacco smoke.

I could taste them just fine, but "snorking" adds another dimension to the flavor. Plus, it really helps with mild cigars.

You can tell I'm a total newb, I've never even thought of doing that......

Excellent "how to" for those who do not know how to "snork" a cigar. Taking a breath before drawing on your favorite cigar is helpful so that when you expel the smoke there is enough air behind it so that you don't burn your nose hairs. Some people tend to expel 100% of the smoke directly thru the nose,,,,ouch!!! Try using what air you have stored in your lungs along with the smoke you drew in and mix well,,,,as you "snork" out the mixture,,think of it as you would a carburetor as it mixes air with fuel. The more you do this the more you will know what the perfect combination of air and smoke is.

Your how to is right on IMO. when I first started smoking cigars I had a hard time Snorking, because it seemed to harsh. The more I smoked the easier it became. Now I seem to do it every third puff or more, I think it bring out a whole new level of enjoyment in all my cigars.

Thanks for the write up, this guide helped a LOT!

I'm starting to get the hang of it, everything said is spot on. Just some tips from a newb perspective (basically reiterating):
-Don't get a huge breath and start snorking out the nose when you first try it, the harshness will bite
-Do try to expel 80%+ (even 90%) through the mouth first and snork small amounts on your first cigar. A *good* snork shouldn't leave any harshness on your nose
-Practice makes perfect
-Relax and enjoy the cigar with a heightened sense of purpose now (and a cup of coffee)

The flavor sensations are great!
FYI I started out with a Padron Delicias Maduro, as someone said Maduros might be a little strong - but nope, it was perfect!

THANKS AGAIN!

Thanks for this. I am quite the noob and trying to learn little things like this.

I can get some smoke out of my nose, but OH MY does it burn. I've never smoked anything through my nose before. Even when I smoked cigarettes I never french inhaled or blew it out my nose.

I am doing it a little but the burn is extremely overpowering and it will take some time to build up some resistance before I can start really tasting/appreciating the flavors that come through while doing this.

[mangamonster]

Damn, I thought doing this was normal!!

I love doing it because that 'wasabe' kick you get through the nostrulars

[Mullet]

the "wasabi" kick is actually a good analogy as far as i'm concerned.
