So I tried inhaling a cigar for the first time last night...

I have no idea how some of you do it. I'm not a smoker aside from the occasional cigar, maybe one or two a week (unless I meet up with Bigwaved ). So last night my buddy and I were enjoying a couple sticks from our sampler packs and I figured I'd see what it was like. I had a Gurkha and he had an Indios. I didn't inhale a whole lot but what I did hit my chest like a ton of bricks! I got up the courage to try it once more and afterward I had a HEAVY nicotine buzz. I most likely won't be doing that again anytime soon but I figured some of you might find it amusing.

Haha...yea sometimes when im trying to "taste" the cigar occasionally i will inhale a little bit and start coughin wildely....Inhaling ruins the taste in my opinion, i dont know how some people do it. It probably hits me hard because i am not a smoker and only smoke about 1 or 2 cigars a week like you. But yeat its always funny to see someone who has tried it

[onlyonerm]

Yeah, probably not the best idea. I think that would make me

I only ever do this accidentally, usually when I've been drinking, and I hate it when it happens: I'm usually left coughing and choking, eyes watering, for several minutes.

I don't & I'm sure you'll find almost everyone else doesn't either
save yer lungs & enjoy the cigar without inhaling

[BUCASmoker]

Why would you ever do that?

[68TriShield]

I did'nt think that would work out very well for you. It's like trying to inhale soup. Thick soup at that...

You're a brave, brave man.

Well its true most do it accidentally such as myself, i did play golf in Aruba with this ex-marine who smoked 10 La Gloria Cubana Series R every day and inhaled all of them!! i saw him do it....Quite nasty and definitly unhealthy

Joey, tell me you aren't going to stick your tongue on a frozen piece of metal next... How did you like the HdM Epi No. 2 that we did not get to last time?

To taste a cigar, I just run some through the nose. Inhaling is brutal.

I've tried that a few times. Might as well be inhaling it, my reaction's just the same.

Some cigars are harsher than others with a nasale exhale. Many cigars are so smooth that you can't feel any discomfort when you exhale thru your nose. It really helps to bring out the more subtle flavors in a cigar that isn't harsh.

very true it's amazing how some cigars come alive flavor wise by exhaling through the nose

I really use that method to get a better feel for the "body" of the smoke. If it burns a little or I can't stand it at all, I know it's full bodied. Works for me because it my nose tends to go along exactly with how a smoke is described.
