I don't know how to.

bowhnter · 08-12-2009, 06:13 AM

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

shilala · 08-12-2009, 06:30 AM

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 · 08-12-2009, 06:32 AM

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

skibumdc · 08-12-2009, 06:36 AM

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

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

Mugen910 · 08-12-2009, 09:09 AM

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

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..

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

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 · 08-12-2009, 09:44 AM

Nope, never figured it out.

shemp · 08-12-2009, 10:03 AM

GoodFella · 08-12-2009, 10:03 AM

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

jjirons69 · 08-12-2009, 10:54 AM

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

08-12-2009, 10:57 AM

Beyond my scope of abilities!!

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?

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

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.
