​​​​Most enthusiasts will enjoy a cigar simply by letting the cigar’s smoke hit their palate. And while you’ll experience the majority of a cigar's flavors through that method, cycling the smoke through your nose will take things to a whole new level. We’ll be the first to say we’re not scientists here but we do have PhDs in enjoying premium cigars. Don’t ask where our degrees came from. Anyway, while simply puffing a cigar, the smoke will naturally come in contact with the nerves in your nose, which help provide the flavors you’re used to. But that method only provides those nerves with a sampling of the smoke. When you cycle the smoke through your nose (without inhaling), those nerves get blasted with smoke. And through this method, you can pick up all of a cigar's nuances. In fact, if you go back to your favorite cigar and cycle its smoke through your nose, you'll find it to be even more flavorful and you may notice certain flavor characteristics you've never experienced before.
