I’m too busy learning latte art.

Com 'on man. Latte arts are for (insert some politically incorrect noun). Smoke ring is time honored tradition for those who smoke pipe! Imagine all those rug rats running to you asking to show them a simple smoke ring! It's not like they are asking for navy aircraft carriers. I'm just hanging in this life to show my grandkids some smoke rings, if my boys decide to have some kids.

Big points with my sweetie if she isn’t having to do Rorschach interpretations on weekend mornings!

I blow smoke rings without a conscious effort. They just float out there. The cats really like and react to them much more than they do to regular pipe smoke.

It's fun, but also work!
My tongue comes into play for sure, but can't really describe it, and not going to make a video of self.

Now that would be a very entertaining video, except I belive this would be the wrong site for such depravity, maybe only fans lol?

Well, it'd be gentler than a snuff film!
But in an effort to keep a small bit of dignity, I am not doing private or public videos, except golf swing. And no one wants to see that, and it's very private indeed!

When I was young there was some get together I was at where I encountered a pipe smoker. I asked him if he could blow smoke rings. He said he had never tried. I asked him to try, and it wasn’t much. So he took a few more puffs and worked up the ember a bit and got a couple rings out for me. I asked him to do more but he said it made his pipe taste bad and he didn’t want to do anymore. I’m pretty sure I got him to do another one or two anyway.

Now that I am a pipe smoker, I think I understand. I rarely take enough of a puff to get a good smoke ring, and if I did I would be smoking the bowl a little faster than I like. I prefer the flavor when I just sip.

I’m not trying to talk you out of it learning, of course it is sort of fun to able to do it, but I think you pay a little price with the flavor of the pipe.

I think you're right that blowing smoke rings requires a different type of puff than just pulling on the pipe. When you blow smoke rings, you need to create a lot of smoke in a short time. This means taking a longer puff and blowing it out with more force. This can cause the tobacco to burn hotter and faster, which can result in a harsher taste.

Can anyone teach me how to blow smoke rings? I can make a ring of mini rings by "whistling" and tapping my cheek. I can make a bowl ring by puffing out sharply on the pipe. I can't make a true smoke ring, a real floater. Help me out, please.

My trick for beginners: Make a Yoda face. That's what I call it, but it's when you scrunch your lips into a tight circle like the Star Wars puppet. The smaller a surface area you create, the easier it will be to practice. Then, practice launching the air by contacting your throat rather than breathing in or out. Except for intentions movements, there should be no other airflow.
