This is an interesting comment........citrus again........someone once suggested a "bitter lemon drink" as a good mouth cleanser after smoking.

Sorry, I was Lemon not lime.

I have the same problem but just chew gum and try to go on. It sure hasn't slowed my smoking down. :-)

Well, it does work - to a point.

I gave a CloseCall sample a good workout last night. I smoked four rather outstanding cigars yesterday to prepare for the test - a sacrifice, I know, but I'll go to almost any length to help out my friends. ;-)

The good news? This stuff actually works - it knocked out a good 80-90% + of the odor on its own. After brushing and a regular dose of mouthwash, there wasn't any remaining tobacco breath. Even better, when I woke up this morning, there wasn't that normal muddy-boots-marched-through-my-mouth taste. Nice. :-)

The bad news? Well, it's two-fold. First, it took two doses (one full bottle) to work. That's twice the advertised amount. Secondly, this stuff isn't cheap - about $3.00 US per bottle at retail.

So the final result? When I have to be absolutely sure, I'll reach for a bottle of the stuff. I'm adding CloseCall to my regular arsenal, alongside grapefruit, schweppe's bitter lemon drink (when I can find it!) and BreathRx products.

What does it taste like? I would bet not great, but I could be wrong...

Not recommended for everyone but I use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide as a mouth wash at night - keep in swishing around for about 30-45 seconds and follow with a rinse or two of clean water.

Second rinse keeps you from looking like a rabid dog....

Kind of like a citrus-flavored white vinegar.

I've found BreathRx to be some great stuff (as is their gum) for post-cigar prep for potential fun with a lady friend (hired or not).

Have a look at your tonsils. Anything out of the ordinary? Sometimes cryptic tonsils can cause halitosis and just a general junk feeling in your mouth. Here's a link: http://www.ehow.com/about_4601095_chronic-...ic-tonsils.html

^^^ Very interesting.

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.

sweet. Thanks for the info. Some good info in here

I've heard good things about Australian Tea Tree sticks (toothpicks), haven't ever gotten around to ordering them.

I've read that citric acid or drinks with a high concentrate of it are the best. Schweppes bitter lemon is the one that always comes up
