Does anyone have any suggestions how to improve cigar breath. My wife keeps turning green evertime I get near her after I've enjoyed one. If I don't figure something out soon (besides carrying a bottle of Scope in my back pocket or convincing her to start smoking them) she's going to keel over soon.

Try these... "altoids" curiously strong peppermint or
spearmint mints found in most grocery stores or drug stores.. Reminds me of the Jethro Tull song
Locomitive Breath!

Can't think of the name of the product but it's made by listerene and sells in drugstores. It's container is a little larger than a quarter and has 25 waffer thin pieces inside, you place one waffer on your tongue and it give you minty breath for a few hours. It was advertised on tv just recently but can't think of the name.

I'll ask my pharmacist. I've heard he's clairvoyant? Kidding aside, let me know if you recall the name. Otherwise, I may have to learn CPR -- my wife is starting to tilt to the left. Thanks.

I'll try plying the wife, especially with the Bourbon. Hopefully, it'll take the tilt out of her stance and take the green out of her complexion (who knows, may get some other perks). Unlike Barry's wife, green doesn't suit her well.

the little breath fresheners are "listerine-pocket pacs". they are thin little wafers that melt instantly in your mouth. haven't tried them after a stogie though. the other alternate to pacify the wife is offer sex. it might not be as good as the stogie but like the stogie it will put a smile on your face and have a creamy finish.... sorry...

Those Listerine things do work. As a bonus, they'll also clean out your sinuses. Kind of the same way mustard gas does.

Cinamon Altoids, about 7 or 8 of them and they will clear the sinuses also! A Habenero pepper will also clear the sinuses and the teeth and the mouth and you will not care what she thinks for about 2 or 3 hours! Charlie

So far, using product from my dentist office has proven the most beneficial, and really works.

Do a web search for Dental aid/products, but, I will include a URL that has product that I use...

Try coating the inside of your mouth with vaseline prior to smoking your next cigar (it could help absorb some of the tar & smoke odor). When your done, take a tongue scraper and remove as much of the vaseline as you can manually. Then - take boiling water and rinse vigorously for at least 30 seconds (spit this concoction out as the water may not taste the best). Now - you have to mix 4 tablespoons of cinnamon with 1/4 pound of parsley add chili pepper to taste - chew thoroughly before swallowing and then finish up with brushing your teeth in the regular fashion followed with gargling with mouthwash. MAKE SURE YOU ARE VERY DRAMATIC about this whole process and ensure your wife sees you doing this "for her" .... you may want to even fake a few tears during the routine if she happens to be watching. (off the record - you'll still have cigar breath, but your wife will really feel guilty about complaining about it any more in the near future .... works for about a minumum of three to six months on average in an independent double-blind study). Good luck!

Smoke better cigars! I have found that most of the higher end cigars do not leave a strong lingering aftertaste. Smoked a perfect Bucanero the other day, after a couple hours I could not tell I had smoked one. Man! It was fine. Barry, I remember that bikini pic of your wife. I think it was green....I know she looked good!

I found that with a steady diet of beans, cabbage, and asparagus that last thing your wife will be complainging about is the smell of your breath.

Don't forget the sliders, aka White Castles. Add them to chili, and as much ruffage as possible and your wife won't complain about your cigar breath at all!! :-)

Try this.

Eat an apple. I find that the apple will take away most if not all of the taste. Also Altoids work.

Lets think outside the box for a moment. The problem isn't the breath, it isn't bothering you is it? The problem is your wife's nose. Just put a clothes pin on it.

Eclipse gum or those Listerine tongue burners work fine, at least according to Mrs. Snowwolf's sensitive smeller.

Just tell her it's an anti-wrinkling cream!

No, You've really all got it wrong!!!!

After a stick, a tall, neat, 12 year old Dewars, you won't taste a thing... and if you did, after the Dewars, you wouldn't care!

BWAAHAHaHaHaaa!

I found a store that sells sen sen mints. Geez I haven't seen those things since my dad was around. They were advertised as smokers mints popular in the 60's and 70's.

I bought a couple packs for nostalgia's sake. I think Rick, SteveS and a few other of our well kept members might remember using those.

Actually they work pretty well.

What a hilareous thread... Cabbage and beans...Garlic??? I like the one about moving in with E-chick and sharing my opuses with her.... Really I just time my cigar smoking as a late night activity after the kids and the bride are off to dreamland... Cup of decaf with the stick and a few nuts after the smoke and I'm ok... by morning time there is no problems. But during the day... the Listerine wafer is ok... Remember its not just the smoke on your breath..., Wash your hands and face too, if you have to face others

Usually, prior to going outside for a smoke, I shout out "SHUTUP BIOTCH!" I don't have to deal with talking, or kissing, or getting near till the next day. Look at all the money I save on not having to be listerine pocket patches!

Just grab a can of sardines, some tobasco and a few crackers. Chase it with beer. Eat some ice cream, then grab a chunk of dark chocolate. End with whatever mints you can find lying around, then stick a few pieces of gum in your mouth. No problem.
