Removing Cigar Breath Smell

Anyone have any tips for removing the smell of cigar smoke on your breath?

My girlfriend doesn't like it, as I can never get rid of the smell. I have tried mouthwash and toothpaste, but that only hides it for a few hours, then the smell comes back.

Any suggestions???
 
While you wait, try the NEW GORILLA FORUM and make an introduction and take the time to read the stickies. :tu

Get a new girlfriend. :r :bn

Seriously, I don't know of any quick fix, just time. I like drinking a lot of something while I smoke, usually water. Some of the gums out there these days seem to help quite a bit, also seem to help with 'herf mouth', I like Orbitz or Ice Breakers personally. :2
 
My dad said he used to use Sen Sen to hide smoke breath when he was a kid.

I just like the taste of the stuff.

I'd like to hear what other have to say though.
 
No easy answer I know of.

When I am done, I usually brush and use Listerine (after I have enjoyed the tasted for a while first).

What also helps is a shower and change of clothes.
It is not just your mouth that smells like a cigar. It is all over your clothing, body and hair.
 
Crest Pro Health works pretty well for me. Although now thatIthink about it you might be able to gargel some baking soda and water. People put baking soda in their fridge to rid pungent odors, so it may work with your mouth!
 
I pay a lot of money for that breath/taste in my mouth, no way do I want to get rid of it.

No one ever complains, but maybe that's because it's masked by the scotch. :)
 
My wife doesn't like the smell. I find that most of the stink isn't on my breath, but everywhere else. The standard routine before bed is:

Wash hands VERY WELL, brush teeth, Listerine, change clothes (at least shirt), then my secret last step... I have a bottle of spray enzyme odor killer stuff that's marketed for pet owners or something (wannabe Febreeze?). It's supposedly all natural and safe, so I spray it IN MY HAIR. Typically it's the shirt & hair that hold most of the smoke smell, so this does the trick. I wouldn't suggest it for a beard though... When I grow a goatee I give it a quick wash with soap and sometimes even hit it with the Listerine.

I've yet to be kicked out of bed with this routine. If I skip a step, I generally get the "you stink" comment.

I've also found that when I smoke a cigarillo on lunch break at work, if I smoke out in the breeze and hold the cigarillo downwind of me the entire time, I can get back into the office on three Altoids without anyone noticing. I like when people see me for the first time with a cigar and say, "I didn't know you smoked" because they've never smelled me.

The one time I smoked cigars indoors there was nothing I could do to get the smell off me.

After smoking a cigar last night I chewed on two fresh basil leaves from the back yard and my wife who loves to comment on cigar breate did not even notice. Try it what have you got to lose.:2
