Do you blow smoke rings?

[Mr. Ed]

A lot of times when I smoke by myself I find that I blow smoke rings just for the hell of it. Do you or don't you? :ss

[marge796]

Not that talented.


:D


Chris.....

[Mr. Ed]

Not that talented.

Chris.....

A buddy of mine once told me just pretend like you're a giant fish.

[Scottw]

Not that talented.

Chris.....

Or maybe he hasn't been in town lately:r

Is there any other conceivable reason? :confused:

[Mr. Ed]

Is there any other conceivable reason? :confused:
Well when I'm not by myself I do it to impress the ladies.:D

[WyGuy]

Occasionally I try, but I'm not very good at it :(.

[MedicCook]

I try once in a while and rarely succeed.

[Dunkel]

I make way better o's with my hookah, but sometimes I blow rings while smoking a cigar.

[Starscream]

Not that talented.


:D


Chris.....

:tpd:

[Old Sailor]

Sure:D

[TideRoll]

Only by accident. I'm terrible at it, but to be honest, I really have never sat down and tried to perfect it, either.

[Wolfgang]

By myself yes. In a cigar bar or with friends not so much. I like to keep my "oh" face private ;)

[markem]

Gandalf has nothing on me :D

Seriously, I couldn't blow a smoke ring to save my life. Fortunately, my life has not, thus far, hung on that ability. I don't think I've seen someone blow a smoke ring in years.

[gbum]

Who is Smoke Rings? Is he a member here?

:r

[DPD6030]

Don't know how, I would if I could.

[Cigary]

Been doing smoke rings for 40 years and once you get it right,,,it's easy. I can make a smoke ring and blow another ring thru it. No, I won't take a picture of it.

[GHC_Hambone]

Not so much because I usually smoke outside, but I can.

[elderboy02]

I don't know how to.

[bowhnter]

NOt all that good at it, it's usually too windy

[shilala]

I can't blow a ring inside a ring, but I can sure make a bunch of them.
The old man taught me how when I was a kid. :)

[kelmac07]

Have tried...they don't look like "O"s!!

[skibumdc]

I used to try a lot and got decent.
Can't remember the last time I did that.
Might have to re-try at shack

[shilala]

Who is Smoke Rings? Is he a member here?
Ya beat me to it.
I was gonna say "Let's keep my personal life out of this." :r

[TripleF]

Sure I do......out my butt..

wanna see pics?


:r

[TheTraveler]

Sometimes I do. I never can make a sailing ship like Gandalf though. :(

:r

[Mugen910]

that would be one of the things I do by myself too :r

It look practice though...

I started out just puckering up like a fish and taping the outside of my cheek with my finger instead of trying to blow smoke rings..now I blow smoke rings when it's not windy.. :wo

[mrreindeer]

Yeah, mine look more like W's.... :D

Nah...I don't know how....

Thanks bud....any other tips on how to do it?? I've kinda tried that but then, I'm a little slow.

[dentonparrots]

I do it loads. Try blowing a large ring and then a smaller one to go through it immediately after it. With a bit of practice you can change the speed that they float away from you so you can make the first one go small and the second one go faster through the middle of it. The first time I did it I felt I deserved a medal of some sort :)

[BlackDog]

Nope, never figured it out.

[shemp]

always , i hold my cigar in front of me and try to make the ring go onto the cigar...i thought everybody blew rings...

[GoodFella]

took me a little while to get it. once i could i did not to stop. then i got bored:D

[jjirons69]

All the time. I can do ring through ring. My kids think it's so cool.

Beyond my scope of abilities!! :td

[BFallehy]

Not that talented.

Chris.....

:tpd:

I try sometimes but my GF just laughs at me when I try. :(

[GKitty]

Thanks for the info, Bao!

So are any of you smoke ring blowing fools going to share some insight? Or just gloat that you're cool? ;)

[aich75013]

I always smoke outside, so even though I have tried once or twice, it didn't work. :(

[Doctorossi]

So are any of you smoke ring blowing fools going to share some insight?

IMO, the gist of the trick (which no one's mentioned yet) is in perfecting a controlled little air-puff from the back of your throat. You have to kind of foreshorten it, if you get my drift- the vascular equivalent of a glottal stop, perhaps.

So, pretend you're a cockney who's lost his voice. :r

[sikk50]

Not around other people, but I don't blow traditional rings either. What I do is make the oh face, then tap my cheek with my index fingr. Each time you tap it a ring the size of a quarter will come out. Pretty neat once you get good at it

[St. Lou Stu]

I cannot, but I understand that it takes a great deal of tongue dexterity. How does one go about achieving that amount of tongue skillz? :r

[Commander Quan]

Sometimes I blow rings :ss

[JJG]

voted no since it never occurred to me until now. But I'm certainly going to give it a try this weekend!

[TheTraveler]

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u224/comanderquan/stuff/DoubleRings.jpg

The double mini-rings gets a :tu

[Mr. Ed]

Never tried the tapping technique.

The best way I can describe how to do it is just say the letter "O" a bunch of times and make your mouth into the shape of when you say "O" and blow some air out. Basically, pucker up your lips pretty tightly, but leave a small hole for the smoke to escape.

As far as the double rings go, that's beyond me.:tu

[Darrell]

I tried to blow a smoke ring once and inhaled the smoke and almost vomited.

[Rabidsquirrel]

Only accidently. I never seem to remember how I did it either.

[alley00p]

Used to be able to, back when I smoked cigarettes and pipes years ago. Apparently, I have lost the ability... :(

[Bubba - NJ]

By myself yes. In a cigar bar or with friends not so much. I like to keep my "oh" face private ;)

:r . I try but have never accomplished it yet . Only occasionally by accident does it ever happen .

[Mr Edmundo]

I used to do this all the time when I smoked cigarettes, but not so much anymore. Probably because I'm usually smoking outside.

Funny story:
Way back, when I smoked only cigs, I was showing off to my little neice, blowing smoke rings. She was maybe 9 or 10 years old. She was really impressed. Then she asked me "can you make triangles too?":r

[bowhnter]

So, how many of you are practicing your O's tonight? :ss

[Mr. Ed]

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u224/comanderquan/stuff/DoubleRings.jpg

How do you do that?:confused:

[Mr Edmundo]

So, how many of you are practicing your O's tonight? :ss

I'm still working on the triangles.

[Commander Quan]

How do you do that?:confused:

The same way you would blow a single, seriously.

[SilverFox]

To me if I can't get a good ring then the cigar is drawing too tight.

[chippewastud79]

Still don't mess around with smoke that much. Never really tried though :ss

[ucla695]

Nope, but not for lack of trying.

[AD720]

The same way you would blow a single, seriously.

Gotta try that! :ss


I blow smoke rings quite a bit, it's something to do I guess and I almost doing it without thinking about it most time.

[bdcigarsmoker]

Fairly easy for me, a favorite uncle of mine who taught me how to smoke cigars, pipes, and chew tobacco at the age of 14, (me not him). It's just a combination of the "O" and the tongue for me. To impress the kids when they are outside blowing bubbles, I'll take a good draw and put the smoke in the bubble and watch it puff out when the bubble bursts.

[streetglide]

All the time.
It's blowing smoke through my nose w/o setting my sinuses on fire that I hve trouble with.
