first, best, biggest!

run the ac or heat and the car will smell forever

thanks for that tip - won't run the heater then!
I never run the AC anyways - the Geo complains about that (it's the 3 cyl/1 liter model) - it has a hard enough time just hauling me around!

Mother ship sells the Xikar car ashtray. Iv seen it and would recommend getting one.
I laughed when I read this because it reminds me of when I was 18 and I didn't want my parents to know I was smoking..... He he.
Most importantly, you need somewhere safe to rest your cigar and to dump the ash so it doesn't fall on you and cause an accident or incindent.
Safe travels bro!

I smoke in the car from time to time...folks who ride in the car are always surprised at that fact, as it does not smell of tobacco. Here is my method:
Crack driver window 1-1.5 inches. Nothing else is open.
Set heat or A/C to "fresh intake", not recirculate.
Put the fan speed on 2-3, select upper vents, (NOT defrost, or any combination...dunno about the floor registers, that may work too) and point the registers toward the floor, but still open.
All this will create a higher cabin pressure that will urge all the smoke to the single point of escape.
Keep the stick near the window once lit.
I have the Csonka Automotive air purifier running all the time the car is running. Works GREAT.
Occasionally, I frebreze the car and let it air in the breeze.

That's it...I burn 2-4 a month in the car, and there is hardly ever a whiff of it in the upholstery.
Works for me, I am sure someone else here may have a different method.

I smoke everyday my car, usually just leave the air or heat on and roll down the window on the driver side only about 2 inches(so I could ash), once I arrive to the destination I crack down the window on the passenger side the same amount, no smell in the summer, in the winter after a month like this setup the car will start to have a cigar smell, when that happens I just bring in an ozone generator to run in the car while the air or heat is running for about 15 minutes, then it's all good again.

I do pretty much the same thing, Watchurai has it right, the idea is to have positive pressure in your cabin. Window cracked maybe 1/2'' for me because I don't ash out the window and I do have the vent shades. I use one of those Bobken car ashtrays made just for cigars, it has a hook to catch on the window slot. You are able to even set your cigar down as it has a small rest for it. The ashes fall through a small hole and immediately snuffs out anything burning.
I enjoy a cigar everyday going to and coming from work, 45 minute commute. My truck may smell a bit, if someone else got in they might notice it but I don't. I have it detailed twice a year so it seems fine.
Been doing this for years, should work for ya.

My mama ma told me to get somthing foo dinna

After smoking in my wife's truck many, many times (windows open, air cranked, Fabreze, Oust, etc, etc.) and hearing her complain about the smell the next day. The best advice I can offer is leave some sort of odor/scented device in the vehicle at all times to counter the smell after smoking. Residue will cling to the glass. The smoke will be absorbed into the carpets, fabrics, etc. But so will the the scented device if left in the vehicle. Fabreze and Oust work well but only go so far. Once the smoke is absorbed into the upholstery foam there's no disguising or getting rid of it. Detailing the interior of the vehicle regularly will also help a lot.

No window shade thingys. Air forced into the car is the idea, then forced out through a single exit. I can actually exhale smoke and watch it pull across my vision and out the window. Plus, using the driver window, I can direct my exhalation, further ensuring the majority of particulate leaves the car.

I like the tip on Rain-x inside though...the residue on the winshield is a pain in the can to clean off...

I am glad we have finally agreed on something!!!

Fabreeze contains enzymes that break down odor causing organic molecules. My understanding of Lysol is that it is a disinfectant that kills bacteria- and smells nice to some people. Try Ffabreeze (or the like) first, then Lysol a day or so later and let us know if that works better!

is it turbo-charged..??

stock baby! with a few mods
54mpg @ 60mph
43mpg in harsh stop-n-go city driving
this little go-kart saves me $200+/mo in gas (compared to what I used to drive for work) - helps with the cigar budget

Most car dealers and detailing shops use ozone generators to clear out a car...Ozium on steroids

does it have racing stripes or flames..??

I smoke to and from work everyday. My biggest issue was smoke being attracted to inside of windshield. Crack the windows, use outside/fresh air on the heat/AC and run thing on defroster the whole time. With the defroster on the smoke never hits the inside of windshield or dash.

Stop by a restaurant supply place or Wally World and get a Stainless Steel Spice Shaker, ~$2usd. looks just like the X..... car ashtray without the wire thingy inside.

If you don't put leave butts in the ashtray, it won't smell. And the SS shakers have a screw on lid.

With summer coming on, I'm trying to decide if I can smoke while riding the motorcycle. Any tips on that?

Unless you have a dresser or something with a windshield it's gonna be tough. It is possible though, just don't concentrate on the smoke and not the road.

its been done, his car still smells from the Gurkha he smoked in november

Go to the auto parts store and pick up a cigar ashtray and a can of Ozium. Two squirts of that will kill any smell in the car.

LMAO....that's funny chit right there.....and no doubt true....gotta love da dogs!!!

Iv'e got some $hit hot machinist working for me. Going to take them my ipod holder and xikar can and have them hook me up. If it works out I'll let you know.
