If you want to become adept at blowing smoke rings so that you can show others at a get together or party, you are going to want to practice. Blowing smoke rings looks like a simple thing to do, but you will find that there are mechanics and techniques that you need to employ if you expect good results. With practice, they will become easier and almost second nature so that you don't have to think about them as you blow them.
When you are practicing your smoke rings, make sure that you have a good, tightly packed cigar. While some people use cigarettes, the tobacco in the cigarettes does not usually have as tight of a pack as the cigars do. When the tobacco is tightly packed, you will find that it is easier to get thicker, richer smoke, and this is a key element in blowing smoke rings.
When you are ready with your tightly packed cigar, light it with your butane lighter, making sure that the entire end is lit properly so that you can take a drag more easily. When the end is lit, and after you have taken a few puffs to ensure that the smoke flows freely, you will want to take a large drag. Hold the smoke in your mouth at the top of your throat " you don't want to inhale.
With the smoke at the top of your throat, you next want to push your tongue down toward your bottom lip. Then, form your mouth into the shape of an "O", as though you were going to sing "ooh", and not "oh". Make sure that you keep the shape as wide as possible for when you start to push the smoke. Next, start pushing the smoke forward in short puffs and silently say "uh" with your mouth. When the smoke escapes from your mouth, you will find that it forms smoke rings.
Blowing smoke rings takes some practice and a bit of technique as well. You will find mastering blowing smoke rings will take some time, but the effect is worth the effort if you are already a smoker. It makes for a great party trick when your friends are over.
