The Breath Thread - Page 3

TanithT · 07-07-2009, 10:17 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

THAT is hysterical!

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.

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.

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

Sheesh!

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

No off color humor I assume. It is cool.

alfbacca · 07-08-2009, 06:59 PM

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 · 07-08-2009, 08:07 PM

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

HK3- · 07-08-2009, 08:26 PM

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

RJK18 · 07-08-2009, 08:30 PM

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

Guess not.

07-08-2009, 09:43 PM

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

Mark · 07-08-2009, 10:24 PM

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

Peanut Butter eh?

TanithT · 07-10-2009, 10:55 AM

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.

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.
