A bad taste...

My g/f hates my breath/kissing me after I have had a cigar. She thinks it's gross...

As you all know that taste lingers for a while, which I don't particularly mind, but, of course, she does.

So, has anyone found anything that works to remove the taste/clean up the breath? I've tried flossing, then mouthwash numerous times then brush a couple times, but that only lasts like 15 minutes then its back. Gum works alright, I guess, but I'm looking for something else that actually kills the taste.

It might be impossible, but I figured if anyone would know, it would be you guys.

So, any secret witch doctor tricks that work wonders? Or something I am overlooking?
 
best thing to do is get a new GF! :sign: get a girl that doesn't mind kissing a smoker, cause the taste doesnt go away. I can do everything you mentioned above and I still taste cigar all day everyday! :thumbs:

Three oz of Wild Turkey 101 administered orally seems to do the trick....or you won't care as much, depending..... :sign:

In my experience, the severity of the lingering aftertaste can vary quite a bit. I've tried many solutions including those you've named but have met with little success.

One solution might be to get your girl started on cigars. :D She might like the CAO Moontrance ;)

My wife is the same way. Most of the time I just go without the kiss.

;)

One thing I've found that works pretty well is to brush your teeth, gums, inside of your cheeks, roof of your mouth, tongue, under the tongue, basically any surface on the inside of your mouth you can get with the toothbrush. After that, rinse with a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide, about 10 parts water to 1 part peroxide. After that, find a stainless steel spoon (must be stainless steel) and run it under some hot tap water for a couple of seconds then stick it in your mouth. Roll it around a bit to hit all the places you brushed. After that, brush your teeth again with a paste of baking soda and water. After that hit the Listerine (must be Listerine). It's gonna burn a little after all of that brushing, but it's worth it. After the Listerine give yourself the old "breath in the hand test" and see if it worked. Chances are it didn't eliminate the odor entirely. Of course, you might just be smelling your hand, or your mustache if you have one.

You could chew on a clove of garlic afterward as well. That will pretty much kill the smoke odor. Of course you then have the garlic breath to worry about...

You could also buy a tin of Altoids and pop one before the kissing begins. She probably won't smell/taste the smoke over the "curiously strong peppermint" and quite possibly will choose the cigar over the mint. Those things sting!

My point is, is that it really is an exercise in futility. Minimize it as much as you can and tell her to deal with it as it is part of who you are. If she can't deal with it what happens next is up to you...
 
My dentist gave me a starter kit of this. Its kind of expensive, but it is by far the best breath treatment system I have ever used. And you will be amazed at the stuff you scrape off of your tounge the first couple times you use it.

This should take care of cleaning your mouth, but the problem can be a little deeper. I guess you end up swallowing a decent amount of spit while smoking a cigar, which just preserves that wonderful scent in your stomach. Start by eating something after you smoke, and that will help some. I started eating a couple pieces of parsley, and that seems to help a lot.
 
Thanks for all the replies. I thought someone would say something crazy like eating peanut butter and suddenly it is gone, but just as I suspected, I'm more or less stuck with it.

That's ok though, she doesn't mind that much, I just figured if there was something easy I could do to hear less bitching, I might as well try it :)
 
Breath assure, works wonders!! THey are little capsules filled with parsley oil and other botanicals...they eliminate 90% of my cigar breath...due to swallowing tobacco spit, as Qualls07 said. Right before you kiss the girl drink a cup of coffee and eat a breath mint. My wife never knows I smoked during the day if I do this. Oh yah...another trick to get the smoke smell off your clothes is Axe Spray...that deodorant spray. Spray it all over your clothes on your way home and as it evaporates, it takes the cigar smell away with it!

I was thinking the same thing. Since she isn't going to kiss you anyways....

Shave the mustache too....errr what was the starting post topic?

Maybe your smoking the wrong cigars.

But I think his point was he can't get that far, because of the cigar breath. Catch 22 I guess, lol.

I have not met a woman yet that absolutely must, have a kiss before eating pussy! :p

But, if you arent careful about the woman, your breath might be even worse than cigars......

Damn, the wife was reading over my shoulder and smacked me in the back of the head! Now I know she will need kissing before anything else happens for awhile....... :0

I know some who have had good luck eating an apple. It seems to clean the palette somewhat. Of course I'm not sure there is anything that will work entirely.
