How do you blow smoke through your nose?

[kansashat]

I find this conversation almost incomprehensible. You just do it. I didn't realize a person might have to train themselves how to smoke. My brother gave me my 1st cigarette when I was 8. He was in high school & I used to hitch a ride with him, in his car, to school.
I guess I took to it like a duck to water, cause pretty soon, he was showin' off to his friends that his little brother could French inhale. The actual consequences of their actions doesn't sink in with teenagers sometimes til it's too late & pretty soon my brother had an 8 year old kid brother that was Jonesing for a smoke & hitting him up for one every day.
Then, when he cut me off, I started pinching a couple out of his pack. He then threatened to beat my ass if I stole any more cigarettes from him & I started loading some of his smokes with those little flashbangers.
This would have been about 1963. I quit smoking cigarettes around 1993. We were preacher's kids, so I guess that explains it.

I never thought about going that way -- the Frech inhale is to push it out of your mouth with your tounge as you breath in through your nose -- the back door so to speak, is to push it out the back of your mouth, with your mouth closed, as you breath out through your nose. That mixes the smoke with air from your lungs and helps dilute it.

Cigar Hoss and Lamar have got it, I think. Maybe if you think about it like draft in a fireplace? Same kind of idea. I just blow a little air through my nose and it carries some smoke with it. Hope that helped if it made any sense...

It took me a little practice when I started but it becomes second nature in no time.

JdNA's and Camacho can be like blowing a jalapeno out your nose if you're not careful!

I do it pretty much every puff (even w/ JDN Antanos's!!) I honestly couldn't imagine smoking w/o doing it.

I think it is genetic, sort of like how some people can or can't curl their tounge.
My father cannot figure out how to do it, but for me it comes very natural. Strange..

Well thanks people for your responses. During the weekend I went through 4-5 Padron Fumas, trying your advice and now I can blow some smoke through my nose! It's awesome! It really does enhance the cigar experience. I got to keep practicing to perfect it, but I think i got it down.

You may also want to sniff the smoke at the end of the cigar through your nose, it will give you a very intense taste of the tobaccos especially the wrapper. Than after a puff sniff the smoke still coming out of the end of the cigar through your nose, it let's the cigar flavors really come through.

That's very similar to the shotgun pass. You are crazy man, I don't think I could take such a hit. Call me what you want.
