Morning Aftertaste

[mkvillaire]

Is it normal to have a lingering aftertaste the following morning after smoking? When I smoke in the evening I am left with an unpleasant aftertaste all night long when I sleep. This unpleasant taste will carry over to the following morning, sometimes even until mid day. I brush my teeth before bed every night, but still this persists. Anyone else have this problem?

Is it a particular blend or does any blend do it?

I get an aftertaste but it's quite a pleasant one for me. I love having the taste of the evening smoke on my palette in the morning.

Wallace,
I smoked a small bowl of DF last night....still tasted it this morning. Maybe it's my technique.

It can depend on how you're smoking. I've found if I do a lot of exhaling through the nose, I'll wind up tasting the smoke a lot longer.
Since I have facial hair, my usual post-smoke cleanup involves washing my face (especially the mustache), then brushing my teeth, then checking the mustache again for lingering odor, then rinsing and gargling with Biotene (the back of the mouth has a lot of nooks and crannies, especially if you've still got tonsils), and if I've been exhaling through the nose a lot, I'll even use a neti pot to rinse out my sinuses with salt water (with a little baking soda).
I like a number of Latakia-heavy blends, which my wife refers to as my "Stinky English habit". Since she's not a fan, I try to minimize her exposure. :D

Sometimes my wife makes me spray down with "Smoker's spray" which you can buy at rite-aid. She says it actually works to neutralize the odor. The only time she complains is if I smoke an English blend or some VAPER roll or Virginia no 1. Fortunately for her these aren't regulars for me.

Only happens to me when I smoke Penzance. I don't mind so much though

I had this problem with Sutliff "Great Outdoors". I liked it when I was smoking it, but there was a nasty aftertaste that stuck with me through to the next day, despite my valiant efforts at brushing teeth, tongue and copious quantities of mouthwash.
Maybe I smoked it too wet. Maybe I puffed when I should have sipped. I'll give it another try...let it dry out a bit and pack it lighter.

Oh yeah, sometimes I get a horrible aftertaste. I use mouth wash before I hit the sack biotine and that helps considerably - and it doesn't happen all the time.
