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.
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.
As you can see, blowing smoke rings is not as simple as just blowing smoke through your mouth. It takes some practice and some time to get the technique down just right. When you have figured it out, you will find it can be a very impressive trick to show your friends when you are down at the local cigar bar or playing poker at the house.
