Smoking Style
#1
Recently I have noticed that the way I draw a cigar makes a huge difference in the flavors I experience.

Some cigars need to be drawn lightly and for a short time, with lengthy breaks between puffs (almost like "sipping").  Usually those cigars are the ones that will give a sweet flavor on the exhale.  If they are drawn too hard, long, or quickly, they get very tarry and gross.

Other cigars need to be drawn for a longer time and seem to benefit from a "double puff" where you take a quick draw to get it heated up and then follow it up immediately with a long draw.  Those cigars give a fuller flavor and sometimes are spicier.

By experimenting a bit with each cigar, I find a method that seems to work best for the particular cigar I am smoking.  If I didn't do that, and I just stuck with one style, there would be a lot of great cigars that I would pass up, assuming they were no good.



So how about you?  Do you try to suit your smoking style to the cigar?  Do you notice a difference?

Personally I smoke the same general way every time. I puff a few times, and exhale through my nose, then every so often I retrohale through my nose... Same way every time.

Ah yes, the good Poriggity Method (PM) surfaces again.

Fife, I'm new enough that I haven't really noticed differences like this, but I'm going to start expermenting. Thanks for that post.

my draw depends on how the draw of the cigar is, usually consistent though. Puff Puff Exhale.

You forgot to PASSTongue



I love cigars with an easy draw that delivers large clouds of smoke. When the draw is good so is the experience.[cigar]
Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did.
