    I'm kind of surprised more people can't do it. Is it kind of like retro-haling, where it either comes super natural or you have to work really hard at it? I've been able to do both with steady success since day one.

    Maybe I'm just a natural smoker. It's already become apparent to me that my body only craves the most unhealthy things anyhow. It makes sense that I would be good at it!

    Kinda like a rusty trombone but it involves a cigar somehow.
    I've seen pigs in boxes and I've seen pigs raised for slaughter.

    So an Irish waterfall is when smoke is allowed to escape the mouth and is inhaled through the nose. It's 'Irish' because it goes up instead of down.

    As for how to blow smoke rings, with a mouth full of smoke open your lips like you would say 'oo', but pull your tongue to the back of your mouth. Now lift your tongue up and forward sharply, think about try to say 'nnnnnga'.

    If it doesn't work people might think you have problems though...

    LOL, thanks for the description. Will have to try it sometime.

    I once blew a perfect smoke ring and was amazed...but haven't been able to repeat it.
