How to get rid of the smell!!!

[rokkitsci]

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.

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 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.

Lenor ? Febreze works on fabrics.

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.
"not had his Cheerios at 3 in the afternoon,at his age,(which is near mine)man must be a party animal"

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!

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.

1)I assume you have a exhaust fan going.If there are other windows in the cellar aside from the one/s in your smoking room,one of them needs to be open a tad for the exhaust fan to be most effective.
2)Carpet and fabric are the enemy,they absorb smoke like sponges absorb water.
This is why(at least around here)you will see smoking lounges with only hard floors and leather or vinyl covered furniture.

This is all I can say from my experience.I'm sure you have thought about these points already.

Goog shout about the scented candle - I'd forgotten that I'd got one of those. A day or so after I smoked the the smell wouldn't clear so I felt the need to buy a lovely cranberry Yankee Candle - a few hours of that made a big difference.

Don't leave dead soldiers in the tray and you should be good to go.

The candles I use are from Wilkinsons.
I line my ashtray with baking foil. Wrap and dispose of butt and ash immediately after finishing.
Open the windows and conservatory door for a few minutes to allow a through-draft.

Result .... no lingering smells. Happy wife.

Oh, almost forgot .... having plants helps too!

Don't understand why the Csonka is not working They make 'anti-tobacco' candles that seem to work pretty well and you only have to burn them while you smoke and for about 15-30 mins after. Have yet to try this brand but have witnessed others like it work.

Another key factor is cleaning your ashtray as soon as you are done. Don't leave dead soldiers in the tray and you should be good to go.

Don't think i haven't thought of the garden den idea - it's just that having spent about 150K on doubling the size of the house money is not going to be spent on that!

Anyway i have a lovely heated, PC'd, TV'd CELLAR. I'd love to make it work.

I'll try the candle & Bicarb. Must admit to being disappointed that the Csonka doesn't seem to do anything.

Nice post BTW El Catador - you don't have a little Mexican in you , do you?

Get yourself a purpose-built smoking studio - nay, salon - at the bottom of the garden. Equip it with a beer fridge, a leather sofa, downlighters, a heater and some Christmas tree lights.

Then the residual hum is irrelevant... and actually kinda sexy, too.

I like a small ashtray of fat dead butts to say HIYA! whenever I walk in.

aka I love you but down here is all mine.

I bow to the Master

[big_Bear]

sounds like heaven.

I've just remembered that I purchased an odour eliminating candle not long ago. I'll get back to you if it's any good. Might have just been a wast of money though

I smoke a lot in doors. I just live with it. A strong candle helps every so often. Then agian I have always loved the smell of cigar tobacco.

Have a saucer full of bicarbinate of soda (dry powder, not in solution) somewhere in the room. I use about 1/3-1/2 a tub & change it after say 2 or 3 months. (From Rudman' book).

I use this one along with an air purifier, only slight problem
is, if like me you have a police super. mate, he might just want to
ask you about the White Powder in the Saucer LOL
