The biggest factor in blowing good smoke rings
is practice. With that in mind, try this technique.
First, you need a cigar with dense smoke, and a place with still air.
Don't waste your time trying to blow smoke rings in a breeze!
Draw a thick puff of smoke into your mouth. Hold it there and open your
mouth slowly. Make an "O" with your mouth, (maybe more of a rounded "oh")
- definitely not a pucker like a kiss. Curl the tip of your tongue down,
and pull your tongue all the way back.
Now, when blowing a ring, you're actually not exhaling. You're just
pushing out the smoke in your mouth with your tongue in short bursts -
like a piston, only in a relaxed way. It's actually a really gentle
motion. Push forward with your tongue, with perhaps a slight recoil at the
bottom.
Practice makes
perfect.
