You are not to inhale a cigar. A nasty headache awaits you if you do. A cigar is to be tasted like a fine wine. Full your mouth with smoke, hold for a second or two, then gently "exhale". So people like to "exhale" through their nose as they say it helps you savor the flavor. I am not one to do this, it is a little harsh for me. Make sure not to over puff the cigar or it will become hot and harsh.
