Blowing Smoke Rings: How to Get it Right
There's a sort of enchantment that comes with smoking. More so, when you
watch smoking aficionados do the ring stuff while they smoke. No doubt,
it's a joy to behold. But you know what? You, too can do the same
thing. Many cigar smokers have tried and failed even with a Good Stuff Pipe Tobacco 1 lb Menthol,
and other variations from Smoker's Outlet. Well, you don't have to fall
within that unlucky number. All you have to do is follow the basics
stated below and you'll be a master in no time.
What You Need Cigar/Pipe
What You Need Cigar/Pipe
This is the obvious part. You need a cigar to hit things up. Not just
anyone, but one that produces a good deal of smoke. This is because the
smoke rings are delicate, which means light smoke rings will barely get
going, much less come together after leaving your lips.

This isn't an accessory, but you get the point. You must be calm and not
nervous about making a good smoke ring. This also goes for the
environment you're in because it's a given that blowing air can put the
ring off. But a still air does wonders to get those rings formed.
If you've got the perfect choice of cigars or a pipe like the OHM Pipe Tobacco 1 lb Blue, you're good to go. Do the following...
· While smoking, draw a dense puff of smoke into your mouth and hold it there. Your cheeks can be stretched usually.
· Put your tongue on the bottom of your mouth and pull it back a little so that it's blocking your throat passage.
· Gently open your mouth. This helps you keep any interrupting airflow at bay.
· Form the 'O' shape necessary for a ring.
· Open both your mouth, jaw, and lips. Without opening either of them or making a bad face, you can say bye to your smoking rings.
· Curl the tip of your tongue down as you try to pull your tongue all the way back so that the smoke is pushed out of your mouth along with your tongue. This isn't easy but you'll get the hang of it eventually.
· Let your tongue be a bit piston-like in motion with short bursts to get great smokes.
