I retrohale probably every other puff. When i do i let some smoke drift out of my mouth and slowly exhale the rest out my nose. I think it really helps to taste the flavors imo.
Retro-Inhalation.

Smoked cigarettes for I don't know how long. At first, retrohale didn't work for me. It didn't bother me, but I didn't pick up any notes. After 3 yrs, I'm starting to get some notes. Orientals are nice, so do the dark fruits. Still get most flavors from tongue, but nice to notice my nose working again.
reminds me of an old joke. guy goes to the doctor says "when I move my arm like this it hurts". The doctor says "then don't move your arm like that".
Retro-haling just sort of comes natural to me. I may do it every puff or may not, sort of an unconscious thing. I also will often let the smoke drift out of my mouth and sort of flow into my nostrils. Never had a problem with my sinus.
I drift the smoke out of my nose most of the time. Also, I just breathe in and out of my nose while a wisp of smoke comes from my mouth. I will also breathe lightly through the pipe and exhale from my nose. With all of those 'methods' I feel like I'm getting the most the tobacco has to offer, on all fronts.
That's what I assume, without actually inhaling and the exhaling smoke out of your nose. Maybe I'm wrong here, I just smoke and do what comes naturally. ?
Yep, cycling smoke from your mouth and out of your nose when exhaling.
So basically it's just smoking, the way pipes and cigars are smoked. ?
I have been reading this thread thinking maybe I was missing it. retrohale, just sounds so much more involved.
Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. I wonder if the capillaries in your sinus tract are constricting and giving you a sinus headache? Probably just temporary until your vessels get acclimated but hard to say.
I retrohale more often than I exhale through my mouth and I've never had problems with headaches.
