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.
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.
The first thing that you will want to do is to light the cigar, preferably using cigar lighters as this will ensure that you evenly light the entire tip of the cigar. You will then take a large drag from the cigar and take in as much smoke as is comfortable. You will hold this in the top front part of your throat. It may take you a little while for you to get used to this, as it is different from the normal manner in which you smoke.
With the smoke in your throat, you will then press your tongue down while making the form of an "O" with your lips. You will want to make sure that you make a wide shape with your mouth, but you must keep the smoke at the top of your throat for the time being. When you have the shape formed, you can send little puffs of smoke out of that "O" shape. It helps if you say "uh" silently as you do this. When the smoke leaves your lips, they will form smoke rings.
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.
