Retrohaling is a technique that we practice and recommend so that people can experience the broadest range of flavors and sensations from their cigars. This video explains why retrohaling is important and how to retrohale your cigar smoke.
Correction – back of my throat…sorry.
I definitely understand this. I can enjoy the aroma of a cigar without ever lighting it. By putting the end of the cigar to the back of my house and inhaling, the aroma is going up through the back of my nose and it’s highly sensitive. It’s very stimulating. I don’t partculary like the smell of smoke, but this allows me to enjoy the aroma.
I always did it that way…but now i have the confirmation hehe
thx doc
Yes i tried this method the other day. I barely turned 18 i am a newbie to Cigars but ive been smoking for about 4 weeks now. The retrohail gave me a better full taste. At first it felt like my nose was burning inside but after 2 more hails i got used to it. Thanks Doc this vid helped.
Java lattes ftw!
@4M1NT4K No, it is not recommended that you inhale cigar smoke. That’s why I use the word retrohale, instead of exhale, which is the opposite of inhale.
are you suposed to inhale cigars?
@docstogiefresh hey man can i ask you if you also speak on the stimulation of cigar tabaco on the brain..also have you ever smoked backwoods?i feel they are the best cigar for extreamly cheap..of course they dont stack up to stuff like cohiba robusto…
Sometimes the smaller cigars are made from chopped tobacco, or scraps from long-filler cigars. These are typically machine made. Some of them can be pretty decent, and the difference in price is due to the difference in cost between the better quality tobacco used in larger hand made cigars. Also, the hand construction costs more. GIve the smaller ones a try and compare taste with long filler cigars.
thanks for all the vids on cigars doc. i am a new comer to smoking as i turned 18 not too long ago and i was wondering what the difference was between the smaller cigars that are cigarette-sized, and then the cigars that you smoke which are alot bigger. I was just wondering as I am trying to determine whether the difference in cost is really worth it.
woahh! tried it this morning with a montecristo cigar and its just amazing! im 14 and told a couple friends that i smoke with and they love it too!!
hhaha thanks doc really helpfull …again =)
get a life and stop smoking….
Thanks alot, gread vids…

ok cool. ill have to find you on facebook. you see to be ful of info and thats just what im lookin for. i just really got into cigars a few months ago so im still pretty fresh.
Thanks amigo. No, I’m not a member of Puff. I don’t have the time anymore to belong to any cigar forums. Life has just become too complicated and I don’t have the time. Instead I have been spending more time on Twitter and Facebook.
hey great video doc. you woudnt happen to be a member of puff would you?
Thanks for the props. I like a wide range of cigars and don’t have a favorite. As an every day smoke I would choose something like a Padron Maduro, J. Fuego Corojo No. 1 or Tatuaje.
love the vid…what is your favorite cigar..and what cigars do you recomend for an everyday smoke..
I discovered so cold retrohaling by my selves, it is worth to try it. But if You are not very experienced cigar smoker, be aware of that.
thought it was the mad money guy, i was waitin for a stock quote….hahahaha just kiddin good show Doc.
I mean i love my cigars as much as the next guy, but this guy is plain fruity
Thanks for the good word. I smoke a lot of different cigars and my tastes vary. I like cigars from light to medium to full. No real favorites, because there are so many great cigars being made right now.
Good video. Snorting helps you learn how to retrohale. I did it the first time but now it is just 2nd nature (no snorting now). I really enjoy my cigars more. Hey Doc what do you like to smoke?
thx to this vid, I could enjoy my cigar better. THANK YOU, SINCERELY.
