Cigar Breath

[TreySC]

I know this has been discussed before, but didn't find anything in quick search. I think almost every thread on here mentions cigar somewhere

Anyway what are some things you guys do to cover up the stink afterwards? It was much of a problem when I smoked a couple times a week, but in the past few months I smoke almost daily. Even brushing and washing my face the wife still complains. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated.

I find that a good rinse with the cheap Listerine knockoff at Walmart, followed by a thorough mouth-brushing (not just the teeth, but also the gums, tongue, roof of the mouth, inside cheeks, etc.) does a pretty good job. Not perfect, but pretty good.

I usually brush my tongue, but never thought about cheeks and roof of mouth.

Well my suggestion would be to go back to smoking a couple times per week. It's cheaper, it's probably better for your health, and it was working out for you. (Plus, IDK about you, but I enjoy a smoke so much more when it's been a while since the last time but ymmv on that...) Anyway, that's probably not the advice you were looking for tho.

I don't smoke daily so not sure if this would work if I did. As soon as I'm done smoking for the day, I rinse, Brush, and rinse again. If it's early I will repeat right before I go to bed.

I was once told anything with anise in it helps. Like black licorice or Good n' Plenty. It helps some. Otherwise, Mike's list is how I deal with it too. Or come to the dark side. Maybe it's just me but I feel like CCs give me a cleaner finish than a lot of NCs do. Therefore, less strong cigar breath and easier to get rid of.

If you're on the move, Dentyne Ice.
If you're at home rinse with a little peroxide, brush & then rinse with your normal mouth wash, Listerine for me.

Try pairing your smokes with pepperoni, garlic pizza and the like. 😉

Maybe you could convince your wife to start smoking cigars?

I use a tongue brush on all the areas of my mouth and then gargle and swish with whiskey then listerine on the rare occasion when I NEED to not smell like a cigar. But I don't know if that would be healthy for an everyday fix for you
