    It's like using listerine, you take a sip into your mouth but don't swallow. Take the smoke into your mouth by breathing in, but don't inhale (like Clinton).

    I guess the best way to describe it is to suck with your cheeks, not with your lungs. I find I block my throat with my tongue and puff on the cigar with my lips and cheeks and jaw, once I have smoke in my mouth I slowly let it roll out of my mouth or I just exhale it out quick.

    Either way, the other guys are right, N E V E R inhale

    I do, sometimes, exhale the smoke, or part of it, through my nose. Letting it bathe the back of my pallet. This accentuates the flavor, on my better smokes. Still not letting it hit the lungs, as that would turn me green I am afraid.

    I can't seem to let the cigar smoke out of my nose unless I inhale.... *shrug* I guess I just need more practice.... Any tips to doing this?

    All I do is kinda push the smoke to the back of my mouth with my tongue and then exhale through my nose, and it seems to just happen.. Not all of it goes out however, and I still blow the rest through my lips. It feels really weird at first, depending on the cigar, but I find it does wonders for the taste of some.

    Default An important "puffing" tip....

    Don't puff the cigar too quickly. Allow a short time between puffs. At least a minute. Two is better.

    Puffing too much will cause the cigar to really heat up and become bitter or harsh.

    As the others have said, it will come natural to you in a short time.

    Enjoy.

    And the exhaling through your nose thing isn't necessary.

    Yeah inhaling can get you in trouble. Mr. Clinton had the right idea. Even though he did say that if given the chance he would try it again LOL.
