If you are a smoker, then you have probably thought about trying to blow smoke rings at some point. You may have even tried to blow the rings and then found out that it was a little more difficult than you thought it would be. Try as you might, the only thing that you could get to happen was a stream of smoke, along with some frustration. Blowing smoke rings isn't easy when you first try it, but with a little bit of practice, you should be able to do it.
If you are a smoker, then you have probably thought about trying to blow smoke rings at some point. You may have even tried to blow the rings and then found out that it was a little more difficult than you thought it would be. Try as you might, the only thing that you could get to happen was a stream of smoke, along with some frustration. Blowing smoke rings isn't easy when you first try it, but with a little bit of practice, you should be able to do it. Some people use cigarettes to blow the smoke rings, but cigars have tobacco that is packed more tightly allowing for thicker smoke and, thus, easier to blow rings. The tighter the tobacco is packed the better it will be. If you find that the cigars are not packed as tightly as you would want, you can always pack them further by tapping the end that you put in your mouth against the palm of your hand. Butane lighters work great for lighting cigars. You will be able to light the cigar evenly, which can be something of a problem with matches. After you light the cigar, the first thing you are going to want to do is to take a large drag from it. Bring as much smoke into your mouth and to the top of your throat as you are comfortably able. When you hold the smoke in your throat, you might find that it is difficult at first. The more you practice this the easier it will become for you. Next, you want to press your tongue downward and form your lips into the shape of an "O", as though you were going to say "ooh". Try to keep the shape wide while still holding the smoke in your throat. Again, this is something that will come with practice. When you have the shape formed, you can then push small puffs of smoke toward the front of your mouth. It helps if you imagine that you are saying "uh" silently while you are doing this. This will then send those small smoke puffs out of your mouth and they should form rings that float gently away. Blowing smoke rings is going to take some practice, but with a little bit of effort, you should find that it becomes easier the more you do it. Take time to perfect your trick before you start trying to show people. Before long, you will be able to show off your new trick when people come over for a party.
