This was taught to me by my pipe-smoking guru, an insufferably grouchy old curmudgeon. He DID know pipe smoking, though..
这是我的烟斗导师教给我的,他是一个不苟言笑,脾气乖戾的老头,但他却的确懂得抽烟斗。
He called it 'breath smoking' and while it works with all tobaccos it is particularly effective with virginia flakes. It requires a relaxed setting, preferably sedentary and a very slow and calm breathing pattern. The pipe bit is held to the lips continuously and all breathing is through the nose. Every 2nd or 3rd slow breath through the nose, a tiny puff is taken through the stem, held in the mouth and slowly, very slowly, discharged back through the stem, raising but the faintest wisp of smoke from the top of the tobacco bowl, and then re-drawn back through the stem. One does NOT inhale the smoke, but if one gets very good at it, one does not even have to puff: the slight vacuum created in the mouth by nose breathing will draw the finest of puffs through the stem. The blowing back through the stem is alternated with regular, but very slight puffs (sips and kisses) so that the whole process of smoking seems as natural, regular and effortless as breathing.
他把这称为“呼吸吸烟法”,这个方法适合所有的烟草,但对弗吉尼亚雪片特别有效。这需要有放松的环境,最好静静地坐着,呼吸舒缓而平静。将烟斗一直叼在唇间,用鼻孔呼吸。每两三次鼻式呼吸就从烟嘴中吸一小口烟,含在嘴里,慢慢地,非常缓慢地将烟送回烟嘴,从斗钵上冒出淡淡的一缕烟雾时将它吸回烟嘴。不需要将烟吸入,但若有人精于此道,都不必再次吸:鼻孔呼吸时在口腔内造成的小小的真空就足以将那缕轻烟吸回烟嘴。轻轻的吸烟(如同轻啜和亲吻)与将烟回吹到烟嘴的动作有规律地来回交替,这样整个吸烟的过程就像自然,经常而又轻松的呼吸一样。
I'm sure many smokers have discovered this technique, or variations of it, on their own. The advantages are that mastering it will produce the coolest and most flavorful smoke possible, and the slow regular breathing will invoke the calmness and clarity of mind to perceive the results at their fullest.
我相信有很多烟客已经自己就掌握了这个或类似的技巧。掌握这个技巧的优势在于,它能够产生最酷也最有味道的烟,缓缓的规律的呼吸能让头脑平静清晰找到他们最圆满的结果。 |
