What do you mean inhale through your nose? Are you not taking the reed out of your mouth to take in inhalation or are you circular breathing-which means that you are pushing the air out with your cheek muscles at the same time?

There are a couple of things that are important here. You cannot get enough air into your lungs through two little spaghetti strands that are your nostrils. Singers never inhale through their noses, and no other wind player or brass player inhales through their nose. Breathing in through your mouth is a much quicker and efficient way to get air to your lungs to propell the sound. The other important factor is you need to disengage your reed from your lips to get blood flowing back to them. If you don't temporarily remove your lips from the reed you will get very tired very quickly and you will be cutting your practise time in half and slowly make progress.

You may feel that the only important thing is making a sound but there is a difference between a sound and a well produced sound. Try to get your hands on books by Jay Light, he has great things to say about buliding a foundation for playing.
