I think you're bound to inadvertently inhale a little smoke here and there but I don't know many people who could smoke a cigar like a cigarette. Think I'd get sick as a dog if I tried to. :smiley11: Just my two cents.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be doing some toliet worship if I inhaled a full cigar. I do have a friend who inhales it like a cig, but he's a former pack a day guy who only smokes a couple cigars a year.
Twice by mistake...Couldn't smoke for days.:smiley11:
NEVER! Unless I am holding it in my mouth and forget and inhale. But then it is usually a super quick cough and deep breath of fresh air....
You always end up in haling a TINY bit just from regular breathing and the smokey air...but not from inhaling directly. That is a death wish...
I make a point of never inhaling. That's just not a good experience at all.
I made the mistake of inhaling once. I coughed up a lung for a half hour. I could not smoke for a few days afterwards.
I doubt I could inhale an entire ultra-light cigarette, muchless a full cigar...
O.K., I'll admit to inhaling a couple of times on each third of a cigar, perhaps 3-5 small inhalations per smoke. I think it enhances my ability to taste the smoke. I don't inhale the full draw, and like I said, not on every draw.
I take a draw, let the smoke settle in my mouth, let some waft out and around my nose, then inhale a tiny bit and blow it out through my nose........on the other draws, I do it all the same, just omit the inhale. Just the way I do it, and I'm not recommending it for anyone else.
After quitting cigarettes it was hard not to inhale. And I could, because I was already used to inhaling. I finally learned not to inhale through my mouth but did allow the smoke to drift into my nose where I again inhaled some of it. After a few years and many boxes of Henry Clays, my sinus's were suffering. Now I make every attempt to not inhale and feel all the better for it.
I would never smoke a cigar like a cigarette, however:
I hold the smoke in my mouth, and breathe through my nose at the same time, this causes some smoke to go down the tubes. I also let smoke trickle up into my noae and inhale a little that way.
In both cases I think that it allows me to get a greater sense of the flavour of the cigar.
I gently sniff the smoke as it rolls out of my mouth after the draw, but that's it. Cigarrette smokers generally inhale when trying a cigar. Smoking without inhaling is an alien concept to them.
somewhere here I saw a link to a youtube vid of some guy smoking a MAXX Freak like a cigarette:smiley5:
made me sick just watching:smiley11:
I also will inhale a bit through the nose, but every now and then I'll accidentally start to inhale a full draw... you get that instant lock-up of the lungs, and power-exhale, usually followed by 5 minutes of coughing.
i've inhaled two or three puffs of a really strong cigar (el rey de mundo- non cuban!) and got really sick. so in i decided i won't inhale
God, everytime I see this thread, it makes my lungs hurt.
I will usually inhale a quarter of the first 2 or 3 draws. I find this helps me focus in on the taste and also the enjoyment of the experience. I also like to get 3 to 4 really big draws off to make alot of smoke linger in the air around me…This helps with taking in the bouquet of the stick. I will also exhale a few draws out of my nose…I know inhaling a cigar is supposed to be bad but for me it’s just part of the experience and the enjoyment of it.
Try drawing less from the diaphragm and more from the mouth. YOu may
find you enjoy your cigars more by letting the smoke roll around your mouth instead
of your lungs (no taste buds there). Cigar smokers generally inhale very little if any
smoke.
I simply can't inhale smoke anymore. About a year ago I tried a cigarrette out of nostalgia and had a coughing fit as soon as I tried to inhale. The smoke also tasted terrible in comparison to what I remembered. I stubbed it, and never had the urge again.
I'm another one of those who've inhaled accidentally and then couldn't talk for a couple for hours. I can't imagine inhaling a cigar being pleasant :smiley11:.
I will however exhale a small amount through the nose a few times during the stick. I find it enhances the flavor. I believe we had a thread on this topic not too long ago.
spiffy
Ive inhaled a couple times on accident but never a full mouth full. I dont know anyone who could handle that. A friend of mine was at a party a year ago and was smoking a crappy blacknmild or w/e those gas station craps are called... i took that and inhaled... it was actually pretty smooth. I roll my own cigarettes... amsterdam shag + rizla spiced wraps... they are pretty strong, you get THICK smoke out of them, ive shared them before at school and it always makes people either cough uncontrollably or gag... but i cant inhale on any REAL cigar.
Id like to see a video of someone getting down to the sweet spot with a nice ash going and get a lungful of that oh so sweet really thick smoke. I would be impressed.
I feel like an idiot. I've been smoking for a couple years now and this concept still boggles me. How do you draw smoke in without inhaling? I assume I'm not inhaling because I smoke strong cigars and I've never gotten sick from a cigar which is saying something cause I have a terribly weak stomach. I don't get it. I put the cigar to my mouth and suck air in. As far as I know that is inhaling. How do you draw smoke in without inhaling? Just putting it in your mouth isn't going to do it.
Inhaling means you take in a second breath of air, drawing the smoke from your mouth into your lungs. That's how people smoke cigarettes and "other" stuff. If you're not taking that second breath, you're doing it right. I've inhaled a couple of times by accident because I used to smoke cigarettes and "other" stuff. It's not a fun experience with a full bodied cigar, but I never felt sick from it. Just felt choked up a bit.
I do my very best to never inhale, but as stated earlier, you cannot avoid a slight amount of smoke creeping in. For whatever it's worth, my Dr. told me years ago that inhaling cigar smoke is about 40 times more injurious than cigarettes. Either way, inhaling that rich heavy smoke has got to take its toll in a big, way sooner or later:smiley37:.
Who would want to inhale? The point of inhaling smoke is either a) as a nicotine delivery system or b) to get blazed. Since neither of these are goals when smoking a cigar, I don't see the point.
I do not inhale when smoking for the most part but every once in awhile I will allow some smoke through my nose of into my lungs. It is only enough for a little more sense of the smoke never enough to make me cough. I am a non-cigarette smoker btw.
Talk about waking the dead. How do you guys find these dead threads?
Not anything like a cigg but sure, Every Cigar i smoke usually every other puff after the smoke rolls around a bit to get the flavor ill blow it out and then inhale the last bit of smoke never a mouth full but the last bit yea ill inhale dont know why habit i guess but ill do that every cigar.
My nasty ass cigarettes I inhale but my stogies I just push a little through my nose from time to time.
Wow- thought I stepped into the Twilight Zone...
Everyone is nice and polite? :smiley11: Get me outta here... :smiley36:
That other shithead redmonster started it!! :smiley36:
But yes...that's much better :smiley20:
That's the spirit... :smiley37:
