Viva la Snorking! Also...how to nose smoke.

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) :ss

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.
 
Damn, I thought doing this was normal!!

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

He wasn't trying to kill you. He was going for the comedy factor. :D:D
 
I am proud to say that I have the ability to "French inhale" without allowing the smoke to enter my lungs. So, I nose smoke in both directions.

Some of you may not believe this, but there are times when I have accidentally inhaled a bit of smoke into my lungs with this technique (don't ask me how I do it) & it feels like a mule just kicked me in the chest. :)
 
As long as it's a mild-med cigar I'll do it..otherwise I'll look like I'm crying while smoking a cigar. :D
 
Great write-up, I've been snorking for a very long time but used a different method. Basically I would exhale 80%-90% of the smoke through my mouth and then ever so slightly draw the remaining smoke into my throat and the purge it through my nose.

My method probably allows some of the smoke into my lungs although not a lot.

I'll have to try the method you described as it might work even better.

To everyone who hasn't tried exhaling through their nose, you certainly should try as it adds so incredibly much to the experience that I can't imagine smoking cigars and not doing it. You notice so much more flavor that doing it any other way just makes all the cigars I already love seem dull.

Cheers,

Holy Cow!...Never knew about this and I tried it and WOW...this has totally upscaled my Cigar smoking experience to a whole new level! THANKS for the input. I tried this with a Gurhka and MAN was it even BETTER than before as I could really taste the flavor so much more. I would certainly say to those who are trying this you dont want to snork too much smoke when starting out...a little is enough. Well now I want to go back and try this will all my favorites! Thanks again!

No problem!! Reading posts like these makes me VERY happy!! I'm glad you have found the wonder that is Snorking :tu
 
I finally got the hang of "Snorking" and it's great. Now I can stop inhaling and nose smoking. Nah, I like it too much.
