idk if this might be relevant but after i cut out all carbs except for the natural sugars in milk, i would be reminded for days after i did break that and eat some potato or nuts or bread, because nothing other than lactobacillus and acidophilus grow on lactose

and yeah it takes days for stuff to fully come off your teeth, especially the gaps and crannies, and being that the tar and smoke of a cigar is probably sticking well to those crannies it probably takes days for it to come out, even with intensive brushing (it almost made no difference, tbh)

but what i'm digging at is maybe the food you are eating helps the tar stick better also... possibly there is something you can eat prior to smoking these cigars that reduces this problem... like, a coating of grease from grilled beef or similar would help

but on the other hand, hah it's been over 18 months since i smoked a cigarette, i don't miss it at all

though what prompted me to stop finally probably was in fact diabetes and/or kidney stones
