Retrohale

/ REH-troh-hale /
Flavor & Tasting
Definition
Exhaling a portion of smoke through the nose so it passes over the olfactory receptors. Most of what people call taste is smell, so this reveals aromas the tongue cannot register.
Why it matters
Retrohaling roughly doubles the detectable flavor in most cigars and is the fastest single improvement a developing palate can make, though it amplifies pepper sharply and should be learned gently.
In context
"Only on the retrohale did the cinnamon show up at all."
