SONNY1 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 OK, Since im smoking about 4-5 sticks a day for the last year or so, my mouth feels quite trashy when i wake up in the morning. I brush about 5 times a day and scrape my tongue as well. I rinse with mouthwash often, but still that taste lingers and I'm sure that it is offensive. I carry Altoids with me all the time, but after eating so many, my stomach gets upset. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinse your mouth out with an alcohol free mouthwash from time to time. Not only will it help the cigar breath, but you'll have better dental check ups too. I also chew gum, like spearmint Orbit White, that is quite minty and doesn't upset the tummy like Altoids do. I know exactly what you mean because when I was in law school I had practically had a tin a day Altoid habit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadillacdoc Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Any suggestions? Arm and Hammer Baking soda / Peroxide toothpaste works better than the others. It really tames the dragon to a degree. They used to have a Baking soda / Peroxide gum, but I haven't seen it in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Warren Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 » » Any suggestions? Yes 4 or 5 sticks per day. I say to hell with the breath, just wear it as a badge of honor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 It sounds like you're doing all you can. I guess the only thing left would be to cut back a bit. But I actually enjoy the lingering taste of a good cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the day, I'm brushing so often that it really isnt a problem, but during the overnight I assume the bacteria and enzymes in my saliva get together and have a friggin party.

I am no juju-doctor but, if I was having such a problem, I would stop smoking for a couple of weeks to see whether it is indeed cigar related... if the problem would persist then it would be advisable to see both a GP and a dentist to try to rule out more severe problems... I know it is not a happy thought but, IMHO, there are some real nasty bugs/problems out there that are not related to smoking that can cause bad breath... best wishes mate.

Matthew Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 » » but during the overnight I assume the » bacteria and enzymes in my saliva get together and have a friggin party. I've got acid-reflux which makes my breath much worse, and Altoids are a big no-no (peppermint exacerbates an upset stomach). Try an experiment and watch your diet for just one day: avoid spicy foods, cut back on coffee and don't drink alcohol or eat anything more after dinner some night. If your breath seems better, your problem is primarily your stomach, not the cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winelover Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 5 a day is impressive. How do you manage to fit them all in? Also what sizes do you normally smoke? I can barely manage 2 a week so I stand in awe! Seriously though, I wonder whether you enjoy every single cigar you smoke as much as I do, or whether five a day gets a bit tiresome. Also do you find you suffer any adverse health effects other than bad breath? I would try quitting for one week just as a mental exercise. See if you are hooked to cigars or nicotine!

MIKE Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Good afternoon fellows To us the people who love the cigars as I do it, always will be some contraindications, specially from the cigars amount. :-D . ! . Try to enjoy your royal cigars as you are part from the Royalty, keep on mind the care about the amount, and check periodically a doctor, but if you smoke do it with care and harmony while caring from your health:-) MIKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham, Smoking a good cigar is never tiresome. I enjoy every cigar thaI smoke and have learned that life is way too short to sweat the small stuff. Currently I am under the care of an oncologist and neurosurgeon, so other than having brain cancer.........I'm healthy as a horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazypoet Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 BreathRx - [link]www.breathrx.com/home.php[/link] - has a line of products that work wonders. I'm not sure if they ship overseas, but it's worth a shot. I use their mouthwash and mints both, and they can knock out the worst morning cigar breath. Also try eating an orange or grapefruit right before bed - the citrus oils really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I find eating a few dry crackers then rinsing/gargling with Listerine Whitening after smoking really helps. Then again, that's only after 1-2 cigars, may not work as well with the number you smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habanohal Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 If your looking for short terem ( till your next meal or smoke) I have tried close call. Its a liquid in 2 shot bottles. Gargle and drink it. It has been the only thing that takes %100 of everything away. Tested it on the wife, and she was amazed. Breath smelled like nothing at all. Got a few samples from the president of ther company. myclosecall.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
