Is there a word for slowly exhaling through an open mouth like when it's cold and you're trying to warm up your hands?
As in;
He [word] into his hands but failed to warm them up.

1I don't think you'll find a word that means that specifically. He breathed into his hands but failed to warm them up is fine.– wrymugJun 28, 2018 at 20:33

Depending on the tone you're hoping for in your writing, you can use a softer verb or a stronger verb. For example,
Softer verbs:
He breathed into his hands but failed to warm them up.
He exhaled into his hands…
He sighed into his hands…
Stronger verbs:
He blew into this hands…
He coughed into his hands…
He whispered into his hands…

1not sure about sighed and whispered. They connote something entirely different.– JimJun 28, 2018 at 22:58
