He sat at the table twirling his thick moustache contemptuously

Hi

Is this sentence natural, especially the underlined part? Any suggestions are welcome.

He sat at the table twirling his thick moustache contemptuously and smiling. 

Thanks,

Tom

Yes. I'd put a comma after 'table'. I know how to smile contemptuously,but I don't know how to twirl contemptuously.

Perhaps you should grow a moustache and practice. Emotion: stick out tongue
