inhale?

[Cabaiguan Juan]

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.

So do ex-cigarrette smokers I guess.......I'm one of them.

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.

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.

[VidosCigars]

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?

This is what I mean by inhaling, I would never smoke a classy cigar like a trashy cigarette!

God, everytime I see this thread, it makes my lungs hurt.

[Maduro Man]

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.
