Always prep myself with summer’s eve.
I throat inhale and exhale through my nose without drawing the smoke into my lungs. This happens subconsciously at this point
My inhale is to sip, like a hot cup of coffee with about as much inward pressure as you'd use kissing your mother. Works for me and I can taste the tobacco. BTW, no noise or lip smacking required...LOL!!
Could you post a demonstration video. I'm not sure that I understand.
I'm always surprised people can't retrohale. To those who can't, are you unable to breathe with your mouth closed? Legit question, not poking fun, because it's the same thing so it's intriguing if you can do one and not the other.
I also find it fascinating that some people can't retrohale. For me it's as simple as closing my mouth and exhaling through my nose. I genuinely don't understand how anyone could possibly have any difficulty with this whatsoever.
Can someone with difficulty retrohaling please describe what happens when you have a puff of smoke in your mouth, close your lips, and exhale through your sinuses? Are you physically unable to because the airway is closed?
Just trying to wrap my mind around what is happening here.

It can be hard to do without inhaling sometimes
because by breathing out of your lungs there should be no smoke.
I do as @hoosierpipeguy does.. my suggestion was just for an easy way to make it happen if you are unable.
don’t worry, I don’t sit with my pipe and ice cream taste like the vid above. Tho I should.
Is this a new thing?
Been a pipesmoker for nearly fifty years and I nor any other pipesmoker I've known over that time have done it or mentioned it.

Smoke probably comes out your nose and you don’t even notice. That’s how it works for me.
Yeah all jokes aside I agree with @hoosierpipeguy also. I don’t think you should or should have to make any noise to retrohale. I was just saying the motions / movements you’d make to open the passageways is similar to growling. Obviously not everyone knows how to retrohale but everyone knows how to make noises so that’s a familiar place to reference.
Though I will say his imagery is hilarious. I laughed at this a few times last night thinking of four guys smoking and growling and smacking their lips etc.Yeah all jokes aside I agree with @hoosierpipeguy also.

@hoosierpipeguy if we meet IRL sometime I’m going to do the “taster” smoke just for U
Lmao same! I pictured Larry, Moe, Curly, and Shemp sitting on a bench hamming it up until someone gets poked in the eye with a stem. That vid just added to the mental picture ?
To address not being able to do it or having difficulty doing it:
It's very easy just to hold smoke in your mouth and breathe in and out of your nose without involving the smoke.
As mentioned, for some reason it's very easy to blow cigarette smoke out of your nose but not pipe (or cigar) smoke. Just as inhaling said smoke from a cigarette is nothing like inhaling pipe (or cigar) smoke.
The difficulty is not inhaling, coughing, or burning your sinuses/inside of your nose when getting pipe (or cigar) smoke to come out of your nose. Some people or very used to/practiced at doing it but for others it's akin to the first time you inhale smoke and hack up a lung.
The whole point of this thread is sure, you can force your way through the hacking and burning and eventually get used to it but you don't have to. In fact you don't need the smoke at all to get a small burst of flavor. Not everyone is a seasoned or practiced smoker and this a way for those that aren't to enhance their smoking experience. (You don't have to make faces or noises either.)

Gosh, now I've got something to look forward to.
