The Cure for “Cigar Breath” Found!

August 25, 2022 John Doe 2 min read

Smoking breath

A malady that has long plagued the cigar smoking man (and woman)… Cigar Breath!

No matter how much you brush your teeth or your tongue or your face, it’s still there!

Try as you might, no mint or spray can hide the Funk that is Cigar Breath.

Until now!

That’s right, for only a couple of bucks at your neighborhood grocer, you too can eliminate that noxious odor that emanates from the depths of your mouth after you’ve enjoyed your favorite cigar of choice.

What is it you ask? It’s…

Fennel seeds

Fennel seeds!

That’s right, pop 10 or 15 in your mouth and suck on them for a couple of minutes, you will taste licorice from the seeds, but more importantly when you spit the seeds out, your cigar breath is ‘Poof!’ gone!

I stumbled on this due to my love of Indian cuisine. Instead of a little tin of mints, they will often have a little plate of anise seeds, fennel seeds and licorice candies. I love the taste of licorice so I got some of the ingredients to make a batch of mine at home.

I just so happened to have smoked a cigar prior and upon spitting out the seeds I noticed my cigar breath was gone, the wife didn’t even comment on my breath (and she ALWAYS does).

If you can handle the taste of licorice, give fennel seeds a try and see if it works for you.
