How to get rid of the smell!!!

[Robusto]

Some cinnamon-based large candles from Homebase (UK) seem to do the trick at home.

When my wife's roll-up merchant mates come round now and again, they stay in the dining room which has no carpets or sofas. I knocked out a Bolivar Double Corona with them last weekend because of the in-house green smoking light being on and it was the rolling tobacco smell that dominated the next morning!

The front room is a different story because of the fabrics. If my wife's out or away and I feel like knocking one off over a film, all the windows downstairs are flung open even if there's a howling gale.

I have curried enough favours not to be garotted over the occasional in-house cigar but I do pick up the odd strong candle when out and about so that there is something to attack the residual whiff.

But what are we to do? The residual whiff is part of the great pleasure of this fetish, as well as the joy of the in-flight clouds.

Shit. This is making me feel like toking one off now and I haven't even had my Cheerios.

I had to stop and think about this.

Lenor ? Febreze works on fabrics.

I suspect having a carpet is a fatal error. I'll keep my eyes open for a bit of lino I think. The chair has a fabric seat too so that will have to go! Better have a look at ebay for a nice leather one.

The problem is that the cellar still stinks 24 hours later.

Any tips?

I make an extract of distilled llama spit and anchovy paste which when applied to that little runner thingie (I have no idea what this body part is called) under my wife's nose completely eliminates any tobacco odo(u)r. Or any other odo(u)r, for that matter.

Do you mean the philtrum?

"Philtrum" or "Feltrum"

I use these candles - as effective as I've found:

Orange scented candles are also effective.

I used to have a Czonka & it did sterling work for about 4 or 5 years. However I found it was only effective if I had a window open to cause noticeable air movement in the room. If your extractor doesn't noticably move the air & you haven't a window (presumably being a cellar) - you could try getting a small fan as well. And plants seem to counter-act the Czonka too. If you have them in the room I suggest keeping the Czonka as far away as possible.

Eugene, you reckon the Chef's candle is better than the Anti-Tobacco one?

I'm pleased to have seen this thread as I'm likely to be needing it soon!

[daverave999]

Does anyone use an air filter or any other kind of air purifier?

[moidoid]

I have ordered a load of different candles and will be trying out a few. I got some Oust spray which covered up the smell initially but it has returned - I think because of the carpet. When the room is a bit clearer I will be able to spray the carpet too which may help. I tried a small scented candle which was OK but not great. I have some heftier candles in my armoury though.

Watch this space!!!

As you mentioned earlier, the carpet .. 'is not your friend'!

Time to rip it up and replace it with something else. . laminate flooring perhaps?
Go on . . go for it! A man of your stature deserves a proper 'man cave'.

Take pictures and post them up so we can see what it looks like 'before and after'.
Your fellow BOTL are standing by to offer advice, encouragement and support (perhaps even cold drinks and crisps!).

New thread proposal . . 'moidoids man cave project' . . ?
All those in favour say 'Aye'.

'Aye'
Motion carried.

Well.....maybe you have a point.

I've stuck some pix in my member's gallery but I will start a Moidoid's Cave thread soon too.

Maybe it will spur me on to get it SORTED OUT at last - which it needs, as you can see.

Hi Moidoid. I'm very surprised the Czonka isn't doing the trick. Is it deffo working properly? It should smell strongly of coppery-metallic-lightning when you sniff the vents.... IYKWIM
I have two running all weekend in the living room and you'd never know I'd been smoking at all?!?!

Le Papier d'Armenie really works they have them in the davidoff shop on St James's. It really works

how to get rid of the smell.

Only way is to shoot the little buggers then plant them under 4 feet of earth. I know it won't go down well with the animal lovers and tree huggers but its the only surefire way.
Don't let them sweet talk you with the cute little faces and pretty stripe shit, the only good skunk is a dead skunk as my ol' pappy used to sa................................................ .
