Mouth and nose but don't inhale. I preffer 2 long and slow pulls. Favorites are padron,la aurora and oliva
Forgot to add I enjoy all strength of cigars but mostly go for med-full. I'm one for a good corojo wrapper mostly but just enjoy them all! They are all works of art and should be epriciated equally but that being said the whole process of aging and forementing goes thru my head as I'm enjoying the stick
I smoke with my mouth of course but also love using my nose. I enjoy pepper through the nose and if it makes my eyes water I know im in for a treat. I do not inhale cigars I tried it once woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was gonna die. I smoke each cigar a little different I have no real system but most of it focuses on the retrohale. I have 3 different ways I do this and I very rarely blow smoke out of just my mouth. There is the straight retrohale were I blow the smoke out of my nose almost immedately which I find gives me different flavor than any other way possible. Second I pull in smoke keep it around my mouth and as I pull it in I get to the point were smoke almost goes in my lungs and then I blow it out my nose this I complicated but I can do probally since I used to smoke cigars. The last way I retrohale I usally use on the first puff and when a cigars loses some of its pepper because this can really tingle. I make a swallow motion kinda like I'm trying to make my ears pop and the smoke just pours out of my nose this is not for the weak especially with a full bodied blend from AJ. My two favorite cigars/makers would have to be AJ/DPG I also like JDN cigars and the Punisher. I enjoy full bodied cigars the fuller the better. Haven't found a cigar to make me sick but I'm still looking. I do enjoy the almost sick feeling I have gotten from a few smokes Im chasing that high lol. I know i am strange. some of my favorites are Ruination, Core, MOWPA, JDN DC, Punisher, Tat Black, TAt little mum, and wolfie, all My Father and Jaimie Garcia is a great stick.
No inhale, but a retrohale about once every 3-4 draws. Typically early in a cigar I'll take 2 short and 1 long puff... the further I get into the cigar and the hotter it gets the more likely I am to take shorter and fewer puffs
Faves - AJ, EP Carillo (that was a brilliant COTM when all 5 were from one maker), Padilla Miami, Padron
Likes - A lot of smoke! The thicker and creamier the better. I think someone used the word "moist smoke" at one point. +1 to that. I find that the dry flavor wears on me over time.
Still working on my pallete so I can't get into specific flavors
Necro.Style - Nose 100%. I retro every bit of smoke that I draw. If cigars could only be tasted in the mouth, I'd have quit a long time ago. I exhale air through the stick, then do short short long.Preferences - I don't love many sticks (MOW FTW), but I also don't hate many (Gurkha Triple Maddy). Most sticks fall in the "I'd smoke it again, but would not pay MSRP" category for me. Abundance of smoke is something that I like, if all sticks smoked like a Liga I'd be a happy man. I don't worry about if I ate, I've never felt "bad" from smoking on an empty stomach. I pick more by size then by brand, most of the time I want a corona.
