The Breath Thread

[DougBushBC]

So I know that I can't be the only one who's significant other dislikes my breath after smoking a cigar. What does everyone else do to minimize the after effects of cigar smoking? I know that my girlfriend says she can taste the cigar on my breath for almost two days if I don't do anything OTHER than routine brushing.

[ade06]

I use Smartwash!

[TheTraveler]

I started my wife down the cigar slope with me! :r

Now we both smoke. :banger

[rizzle]

My wife hates it. I wash my face at the same time I wash my hands and gargle with mouthwash. And she still complains.:wo

[Homebrewer]

Brush teeth then Listerine.

[MajorCaptSilly]

This is the only solution that has my wife's approval is:

Albertson's, Kroger, Target and Wal-Mart are on the list, but I've never seen it before.

I've looked at all those stores to but haven't found any.

The first place I found it was Walgreen's. It's also at Walmart and Meijer in my area.

Another Thumbs up for Smart Mouth. This stuff really works at least the mint never had the cinnamon.

[gnukfu]

Nothing - Lisa doesn't care - I'm such a loveable guy!

[the nub]

Peanut butter. Try it. It works. You can brush or use mouthwash after if you like.

[MedicCook]

In my last relationship I would have to brush my teeth and take a shower after being out and smoking.

[SmokeyJoe]

Usually some Eclipse Gum... or brush my teeth and rinse with mouthwash. :ss

[lightning9191]

I find orange juice helps a lot.

Hrmmm I am going to have to try and locate this.

This is interesting... Very Interesting.

I did the same as Jonathan. Mrs. Brew like infused smokes, and I'm grateful to have her in the cave or on the deck with me.

That said, I just brush well and rinse with Listerine before bed. But I still wake up with dragon breath, so I have to ask myself what's the difference?

[ade06]

I have a friend that uses H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) stright. He claims it's the best. I haven't tried it yet (and probably won't).

[zero.e]

I usualy use gum IF I happen to be arround other people after smoking. Usualy I try to fit my smokings so that I can enjoy my cigar-smelling-hands all by myself :rolleyes:

[marge796]

I carry a little bottle of mouth wash with me.

:ss


Chris.....

[ZenSilk]

Brush, Rinse with Hydro peroxide, rinse with Tom's Spearmint mouthwash, and Eclipse gum. ;)

[Emjaysmash]

Well, like an idiot, i chose Breath mints, but mean "rinse". she makes me brush my teeth AND either change my clothes of put on cologne.

[jjirons69]

Lick a dog's ass.









j/k Brush, then chase with some drink. Beer is always good.

[Ashcan Bill]

Sometimes I find rinsing my mouth with tequila is a good option.

[The Poet]

A thimbleful of weapons-grade plutonium usually does the trick for me. Hey, it sounds stupid, but mebbe you should try it first.

[Tio Gato]

Lick a dog's ass.:r

Does it taste like a Cremosa?

[hotreds]

A swig and gargle of Real lime works!

[TheTraveler]

Are we allowed to post sources? If so, hook me up Thomas! I haven't had a swig of liquid plutonium since i worked the bar at the last Major Villians of DC Comics convention - I'm really jones'in here!

And just so you know, the Joker isn't nearly as crazy as they make him out to be - those damn holier-than-thou masked vigilantes and their propaganda teams!

:r

[DougBushBC]

Um, speaking of sources I haven't seen Smart Mouth anywhere, anyone for a Group Buy.

[WyGuy]

Brush and use some mouthwash if I'm at home, if not at home usually a piece of gum.

[TanithT]

TheBeard smokes slightly less cigars than I do (he's sometimes smoking his pipe instead), but we're fairly close in the numbers now that I've worked for awhile on corrupting him down to the dark side. Neither of us minds "cigar breath" but if I've been at a herf and sucked down four or five (or more) back to back in a small area where a dozen other people are doing the same, I'm gonna wash my hair and toss my clothes in the laundry. Stale smoke hanging in clothes and hair gets unpleasant, even if they were damn good cigars.

[Jcaprell]

I always drink water when I smoke. Then when I am done, I rinse with some mouthwash. HOWEVER, my wife doesnt stop at the breath. She hates when I come home smelling like smoke. She doesnt really complain though. When I come home from the b&m I usually just hop in the shower anyway.

[Ken]

With the wife, I have two kids, so I try to have cigar breath. :r

Around others I rinse with anything and chew Orbits.

Going to look into the Smart Mouth. Mainly because I just like to keep clean teeth.

[Bama In Tampa]

I tried mouthwash, brushing, showering and all types of breath mints and chewing gums. I also bought the top-notch IQAir air purifier (which does a great job on removing smoke odors), all to no avail. She was so sensitive to smoke, that I had to go outside to smoke my cigars, then shower and brush and rinse before coming to bed.

I sure miss her.

I found some at Walgreens yesterday. I think it was $11.99.

[kaisersozei]

:tpd: Walgreen's is the only place in my area to carry it, but they are frequently out. Expensive, but it does work--I use it before going to bed if I've smoked late. Always wake up with a metallic taste in my mouth after using it, though.

Otherwise I usually just some citrus (drinking orange juice, or a lime juice gargle) & brushing to take the edge off, and helps the cigar breath fade.

Gerard, if you have a dog, might want to try the ass trick. :tu

I dragged an old article of mine on this subject over to my current blog. It may be useful, but please feel free to leave comments there if you have some better tips! http://herfergrrl.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/cigar-talk-getting-rid-of-cigar-smell/

That's about right. If you Google it, they have a $2.00 coupon on their site. Sorry, I forgot bout that. There is also a $2.00 coupon in some of the boxes.

[groogs]

I don't do anything, my wife doesn't care.

[FretSpot]

She was so sensitive to smoke, that I had to go outside to smoke my cigars, then shower and brush and rinse before coming to bed.

I sure miss her.


THAT is hysterical!

[Waynegro1]

I brush then rinse with Smartwash. I also wash my "Leonidas, Spartan beard" (as my wife calls it). Smoke just loves hangin' on to the beard.

Now, I only do all the above if I'm around people that care, such as the woman I live with and the beard washing only occurs if I smoke before bed. How can I "love" her if she can't stand the smoky beard?...By doing the above breath/beard treatment...that's how. :D

Yep the box has a $2 off coupon on the next purchase.

[darkninja67]

May try that Smartwash stuff but I usually will chew a lot of gum, Orbit Citrusmint.

[The Poet]

And as for the source for plutonium, I had a good one - but Homeland Security shut it down, the bastids. Good thing I had a couple keys in my sock drawer.

:ss

That's a joke. THAT'S A JOKE! CAN YOU HEAR ME, CYBER SPIES? IT'S JUST A FREAKIN' JOKE!

Sheesh!

[troutbreath]

I didn't see "trout" listed as an option.

Ellen Degeneres breath? *Family Guy reference*

:tpd:

I have tried most everything. And this works like no other. It will eliminate any traces of the cigar in your mouth. But around your mouth and on your clothes/hair will still be a "problem".

[Barteur]

Mouth Wash:al

[alfbacca]

My wife usually doesn't care but I like to rinse or brush my teeth a hour or so after I finish smoking. I like having that aftertaste for a bit but I hate waking up with it the next day if I don't rinse.

[ca21455]

Brush teeth, gargle with mouth wash, rinse with lemon juice, eat chili dog with lots of onions. Works every time!

[HK3-]

OJ, shower, brush teeth and then mouthwash. I like the smell of cigar smoke. ;)

[RJK18]

I chew on a few leaves of basil. Now the wife hates basil. Can I win?



Guess not.:confused:

[DougBushBC]

I am definately still looking for a source on the Smart Mouth. Group buy?

[Mark]

I am recently single and have taken to not caring. If I am going out I will do the shower + peanut butter + mouth wash + brush + floss + gum. Between all of those I am minty fresh when I get out of the bathroom :tu

[TanithT]

TheBeard and I smoked five cigars between us last night (we puff-puff-pass a lot). Afterwards he had such tasty "cigar mouth" that I threatened to roll up his beard and smoke it. :r

Don't know what it was about the sticks we herfed down that had that effect, but kissing him had this really intense "good tobacco and cedar" taste and smell. I'm not generally a fan of any type of stale cigar aromas on clothes or hair; once the leaf is smoked the oils degrade pretty rapidly and change their taste profile. But apparently some cigars work better than others for leaving a nicer smell, at least in the short term.

If you are curious about the lineup, it was a Tat SW Maduro, a Tat Petite, a Gurkha Titan, a Rocky Patel 1990 and a Diablo. Rob got a lot more of the first Tat than I did, and I got a lot more of the Gurkha and the Rocky.

[shilala]

I use snuff. Lots of snuff kills anything.

Nasal or the chew kind? I'm into the nasal snuff.

So you think I should roll up and smoke his beard, then post a review of how it tasted? :r
