View Full Version : Cigar smell mitigation

As I am relegated to smoking in my garage to avoid the winter’s cold, I came upon this method to help mask the remnant stale cigar odor.
I use my kerosene heater for warmth and began placing a clay flower pot on top. I occasionally drop a few drops of essential oils on the pot as I smoke. I happened to have these on hand from preparing my own beard oil.
Leaves the garage smelling nice. I came to realize how well it works when one morning after smoking in the garage the night before, my wife commented that it doesn’t smell like a cigar and asked what I did different.
My favorite in the garage is the cedar wood. Smells like fresh cut wood and goes nice with the wood tools in my shop. The rosemary leaves a fresh herbal, slightly floral scent. The clovebud can get a little overwhelming but I like it being a fan of old fashioned clove gum and spiced apple rings.

Genius! My wife will just be impressed if I ask for CedarWood in her next order.

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman....
Well, maybe just a scholar...

You people should just switch to a pipe for the winter. Doesn't leave any residual smell at all unless you smoke the really strong stuff like Happy Bogie or G&H dark plug and the like. I can burn a bowl of Louisiana Flake and not smell it at all the next morning. (Even the aforementioned strong stuff isn't nearly as tenacious as cigar smell.)
Besides, smoking a pipe would make you more contemplative and sophisticated. Well... maybe not if all you have is a corn cob...

That is one of the things I like about you, EZ. You are just so pragmatic. The best solution to solving a problem is not creating the issue to begin with.

I'm just trying to bring you cigar smokers up to speed with the rest of us pipe-smoking sophisticates :D All 6 of us. LOL!

Anybody looked into the Rabbit Air system? $550 isn’t something to sneeze at but it’s also not bank breaking. If it worked, I’d certainly invest the money because smoking outdoors is for the birds most of the time.

Or if you do something stupid like break off a pipe cleaner in the stem of your churchwarden ... um ...

Theoretically ...
Hypothetically ...

I have heard some people really like them and others that are not impressed. I am going to bite the bullet and either get one of those or the Austin Air Healthmate (HM-400). I think like most things it will need to be part of a layered approach. With cigars I don't think there will be a one item be all end all. I think air flow, with regular cleaning, and maybe an airfilter will get the job as good as it will get.
