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.

OK well, after yesterday's "wisecrack" post, with the help of Google I thought I'd return with something more substantive. At a quick glance, it would seem that tonic water, plus Kayla's mention of whiskey and Brian's hydrogen peroxide, receive concurring nods from various sources, so maybe those among others could be worth a try. Good luck. https://www.google.com/search?q=ciga...obile&ie=UTF-8

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?
