The Breath Thread
 

So I know that I can't be the only one who's significant other dislikes my breath after smoking a cigar. What does everyone else do to minimize the after effects of cigar smoking? I know that my girlfriend says she can taste the cigar on my breath for almost two days if I don't do anything OTHER than routine brushing.

I use Smartwash!

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I started my wife down the cigar slope with me! :r

Now we both smoke. :banger

Re: The Breath Thread
 

My wife hates it. I wash my face at the same time I wash my hands and gargle with mouthwash. And she still complains.:wo

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Brush teeth then Listerine.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

This is the only solution that has my wife's approval is:

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Where do you buy that at MCS?

Re: The Breath Thread

Albertson's, Kroger, Target and Wal-Mart are on the list, but I've never seen it before.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I've looked at all those stores to but haven't found any.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

The first place I found it was Walgreen's. It's also at Walmart and Meijer in my area.

Another Thumbs up for Smart Mouth. This stuff really works at least the mint never had the cinnamon.

Nothing - Lisa doesn't care - I'm such a loveable guy!

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Peanut butter. Try it. It works. You can brush or use mouthwash after if you like.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

In my last relationship I would have to brush my teeth and take a shower after being out and smoking.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Usually some Eclipse Gum... or brush my teeth and rinse with mouthwash. :ss

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I find orange juice helps a lot.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Hrmmm I am going to have to try and locate this.
This is interesting... Very Interesting.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I did the same as Jonathan. Mrs. Brew like infused smokes, and I'm grateful to have her in the cave or on the deck with me.

That said, I just brush well and rinse with Listerine before bed. But I still wake up with dragon breath, so I have to ask myself what's the difference?

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I have a friend that uses H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) stright. He claims it's the best. I haven't tried it yet (and probably won't).

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I usualy use gum IF I happen to be arround other people after smoking. Usualy I try to fit my smokings so that I can enjoy my cigar-smelling-hands all by myself :rolleyes:

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I carry a little bottle of mouth wash with me.

:ss


Chris.....

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Lick a dog's ass.









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

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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

Re: The Breath Thread
 

:r

Does it taste like a Cremosa?

Re: The Breath Thread
 

A swig and gargle of Real lime works!

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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!

And just so you know, the Joker isn't nearly as crazy as they make him out to be - those damn holier-than-thou masked vigilantes and their propaganda teams!

:r

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

With the wife, I have two kids, so I try to have cigar breath. :r

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.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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

Re: The Breath Thread
 

:tpd: 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.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Gerard, if you have a dog, might want to try the ass trick. :tu

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I dragged an old article of mine on this subject over to my current blog. It may be useful, but please feel free to leave comments there if you have some better tips! http://herfergrrl.wordpress.com/2009...f-cigar-smell/

Re: The Breath Thread
 

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.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I don't do anything, my wife doesn't care.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

THAT is hysterical!

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I brush then rinse with Smartwash. I also wash my "Leonidas, Spartan beard" (as my wife calls it). Smoke just loves hangin' on to the beard.

Now, I only do all the above if I'm around people that care, such as the woman I live with and the beard washing only occurs if I smoke before bed. How can I "love" her if she can't stand the smoky beard?...By doing the above breath/beard treatment...that's how. :D

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Yep the box has a $2 off coupon on the next purchase.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

May try that Smartwash stuff but I usually will chew a lot of gum, Orbit Citrusmint.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

And as for the source for plutonium, I had a good one - but Homeland Security shut it down, the bastids. Good thing I had a couple keys in my sock drawer.

:ss

That's a joke. THAT'S A JOKE! CAN YOU HEAR ME, CYBER SPIES? IT'S JUST A FREAKIN' JOKE!

Sheesh!

Re: The Breath Thread
 

I didn't see "trout" listed as an option.

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Ellen Degeneres breath? *Family Guy reference*

Re: The Breath Thread
 

Bill, don't be shocked it The Eleven delete this, lickity-split.

No off color humor I assume. It is cool.
