Exhaling

[Jwrussell]

Actually, it still took me forever and I smoked cigarettes for years. Just a different technique IMO.

Ya, you dont' push cigarette smoke from our mouth into your nose(though i have tried I think)...

 

[Nely]

Hey Joe you are here too!

 

[Bruce5]

Only way to smoke.

Speaking of Partagas, had a Lusitania last night, nice cigar, mean ass smoke and gave me a chance to practice the nostril thing...While it's ok, for me it burns my sinus too much...

Ex cigarette smokers have no problem with this technique.

No kidding. I don't remember it being a problem it just happened.

I do it frequently and I think it really does improve my ability to distinguish flavors. I think its because the walls are thinner and more sensative. Smell and flavor are definitely linked!

Now can we discuss blowing smoke rings? :hysterica

Fine by me.

The only problem I see with this practice is that you have to run the smoke by your throat which is not really a good practice. I think you run a much less risk of health issues keeping the smoke confined to your mouth?

 

[Jwrussell]

Hmmmm...I don't know. I can definately see where you are coming from, but I would have to guess that the smoke is getting to the back of my throat anyway. This practice might intensify that some, but I don't think introducing something that's not already happening.

 

[Slammer]

I have never seemed to master this technique no matter how hard I try. Have to make a conscious effort this weekend.

 

[allanf]

I definately get smoke in my throat..i can feel it, especially if I smoke A LOT, like two cigars in one day.

If done correctly, the smoke does not touch your throat. Actually, you are blocking your throat with the back of your tongue...once again, if done correctly.

 

[allanf]

I think everyone has their own unique technique and style...no 2 people smoke the same way. I'm not sure what is correct and what isn't...

Correct would be to not let it go to the back of your throat...hehehe....

 

[allanf]

the back of my throat is at the back on my mouth....not down any....so maybe i should refer to it as the back of my mouth..not throat...any physiology majors here?

 

[David]

Sorta lift/pull back the back of your tongue up so it closes off your throat...that is the method I use.

 

[allanf]

I could say something rude....DOH!

 

[David]

Now, now Allan.........

 

[Wasch_24]

LMAO! :hysterica

 

[allanf]

I thought the idea was to OPEN up the throat..there..I said it...
