Drive by herfing: Tell me about it

[KDKLOSS]

I smoked a cigar on the way to work about a week ago. I forgot to leave the windows open while I was in work so I sprayed the inside down with fabreeze then I turned the air to recirculate the cabin air since it's equiped with a cabin air filter. I also drove with the windows down on the way home and now it doesn't smell. It did take a few days to get the smell all the way out but it's fine now. One thing to think about is make sure you clean all the glass in the car because the smoke will stick to it like a film and possibly cause them to fog up.

The best suggestions have been stated so far, and I found the tips from Mark Neff's piece on stogiereview.com

1. Fresh Air vent on and pointing to floor
2. Driver side window cracked
3. Smoke away

what I do to get rid of the smell is once a week, I take a baking soda based carpet deodorizer (states for pet smells and smoke specifically) and liberally sprinkle any cloth surface. I normally let the deodorizer "soak" up the smells for a day or two if I can, and then vacuum it up. Gents, the smell is GONE after this. I don't even wipe down the interior of the windows with windex as Mark suggested, even though I'm sure that would help even more. But those deodorizers work really well for me.

When smoking in a vehicle with the window cracked, do you find your vehicle still gets that funky smell of cigar? Any tips/tricks to share for the soon to be drive-by-herfer?

Thanks

I open the front drivers window about an inch or so and just crack the backseat drivers side window and the pressure difference forces all the smoke out. This works great while driving but sitting still there isn't enough pressure diff to move the smoke. When I am done I make sure all the ashes are out and you will not have any problems with the smoke smell. I have been driving and my wife has commented that she couldn't smell the smoke at all. hope this helps.
