I carry a little bottle of mouth wash with me.

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

Emjaysmash · 07-07-2009, 02:13 PM

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 · 07-07-2009, 03:16 PM

Lick a dog's ass.

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

Ashcan Bill · 07-07-2009, 03:32 PM

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

The Poet · 07-07-2009, 03:36 PM

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

A swig and gargle of Real lime works!

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!

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

WyGuy · 07-07-2009, 09:40 PM

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

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.

Ken · 07-08-2009, 09:37 AM

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.

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

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.

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.
