Exhaling Pipe Smoke Through Your Nose

[matchstickman]

I seem to remember a thread about this sort of thing when I first joined up, but try as I might to scour the forums and find it, I can't, so Ill start a new one. I have been told that exhaling pipe smoke through your nose really helps to find new flavors and aromas in tobaccos that you dont get from simply puffing. Try as I might, I have never figured out how people out there can blow the smoke out of their nose without inhaling it into the lungs. Can anyone out there give me a rundown of how this is done, or some sort of trick that can help? Id really like to try this but cant quite get the hang of it, and Im hoping that someone has some sort of method or tip that can help me learn how to do this. Thanks guys!

I inhale pipe smoke, so it is very normal for me to exhale smoke from the nose, and yes it provide a new sort of flavour, escpecially when I smoke english blends or blends that contains latakia. I enjoy exhaling while smoking Dunhill's EMP and My Mixture 965 or Davidoff's Royalty.

You think that's a problem? Shoe Lady is constantly telling me to "blow it out my ass". Now there's a problem. :rofl:

I was hoping to start with the nose first Cortez. Once I figure out how to do that, then we can move on to other possible avenues for smoke exhalation. :mrgreen:

Don't use a full breath when taking in the smoke. When you go to push the smoke out keep your moth closed. And it will go out your nose. The ars is a hole nother process.

An exhale through the nose is only way IMHO to really enjoy the flavors

Hmmmm...i'm trying to think of a way to tell you how to blow smoke through your nose without inhaling, but its like trying to describe the colour orange to a blind man. draw the smoke into your mouth, keep your mouth closed and exhale the mouth full of smoke through your nose is the best I can do but I'm sure that is not news to you. It just comes naturally to me so I can't think of a trick or tip that will allow this to happen for you. I also exhale through mouth and nose that the same time some times. A full exhale of a good Va/Per like say Escudo can literally bring tears to your eyes so I usually exhale through nose and mouth. I hope someone can help you learn how to exhale through the nose though because it really is a whole other dimension of pipe smoking.

I also find it a great way to taste the aroma of an aromatic. Exhale through your nose while smoking a bowl of W.O. Larsen Singnature Vintage Mixture and you will taste that wonderful pineapple candy toffee topping during the smoke and for a few hours after the bowl you will smell it in your nose.

I do it all the time. It's probably more natural for a clencher than a holder. As a clencher I constantly sip the pipe and have smoke in my mouth. As long as my lips are tightly closed around the stem of the pipe (usually when I'm concentrating on something other than my pipe) that I'm smoking, retrohaling just happens as part of normal breathing in and out of the nose. I do not ever inhale pipe smoke. It's not really something that one tries to do but rather something that just sort of happens.

 

[ohin3]

I never thought of that Mjtannen. I am also a clencher and smoke very much the same was as you do and I suppose that it would just naturally happen for a clencher as opposed to a holder. Interesting poing. I believe this smoking method is called breath smoking.

I struggled with this when I first started but I figured out what works for me and I am a holder, not a clencher.
When I do it I take a slow draw to make sure it is not a hot draw and keep my mouth open a little more then usual while keeping my lips closed at the same time. When doing this, it causes my tongue to be almost like a plug in the back of my mouth and I never have inhaled. Then, keeping my lips closed, I do a biting motion with my teeth and push my tongue to the top of my mouth of my mouth and exhale out my nose. When you push your tongue up the only place for the smoke to go is your nose.
Hope it works for you.
BTW, I mentioned not to have a hot draw because I found out the hard way.

Suck in the smoke like normal but then you have to open the passage way to your nose. Inhale from your nose a bit and then blow out the smoke. This worked for me.

I do it all the time since i started pipe smoking, and like other said, its better to get the aroma of the tobacco your smoking.

I had a bowl last night before bed and now i ive just woke up and still smell through my nose the sweet smell of the tobacco i smoke.

Using your tongue as a plug forces the smoke back to your throat. Then blow smoke out your nose lol.

 

[marmal4de]

I rarely blow smoke out through my nose, I am way more likely to french inhale.

 

[lordnoble]

I'm like eaglerico. Same way. Perfectly described.

P.S.- ohin is dead-on with is description of W.O Larsen Signature.Pineapple candy heaven for hours after you smoke it. So good. I need to smoke a bowl tonight.

Thanks for all the suggestions fellas. I hadnt considered frennchy11s idea to inhale a bit through the nose, I might try that later on tonight. I was told by someone a long time ago to take in a puff of smoke, then do a sort of swallowing motion to push the smoke to the back of the throat, but I have found that doesnt work for me either. I will try some things out tonight and let you guys know how it works out. Thanks again fellas!

You can practice, swallow air. Get a mouthfull and swallow. Now while you swallow air in SLOW MOTION blow through your nose. You should feel the air you are about to swallow instead go up through your nose.

I find if I fill my mouth with smoke, wait, then inhale some throught my nose then relax and exhale a little through my mouth and nose the smoke passes through my nose. It seems for me its about relaxing the muscles in the throat. I do find it allows me to pick up more of the subtler notes especially faint spicy notes.

 

[frennchy11]

A swallowing motion is a good example too. Its like pushing it out your nose
