    Anybody ever do "the wine sip"?
    Before the puff is completely finished, sip in a little air and catch the lingering flavors?

    YES, I thought I was the only one LOL. I do the "wine sip" if the cigar is super peppery/rough in the retrohale - to kind of water it down like I would to a strong whisky.

    Also, I tend to retrohale more with smoother cigars. The pepperbombs tend to overwhelm my sinus and clog me up.

    Has anyone ever smoked a cigar where the retrohale was their main source of flavor?

    LOL, I remember a Halfwheel cigar review where they insisted the best flavors were only obtained through retrohaling, but for that specific cigar. I'll try to find the link and post it.
