Chapstick problem
I usually carry blistex brand lip balm to ease my chapped lips when necessary. The trouble comes when I'm smoking a stogie. The blistex doesn't pair well with ANY cigar. It ruins the experience really.
I've taken to dabbing on a little olive oil from the kitchen before I head out to smoke if my lips are already chapped. It works pretty good but it doesn't last very long.
Anybody have any good recommendations for lip balms that won't ruin your palate for smoking?
OK I'm experiencing a little de ja vu. Pardon me if I have asked this question before. (I searched but I couldn't find it.)

When I was in an outdoor first aid class they talked about using oils from the corner of your nose if you want to try that...
Go get yourself a tin of Vermont's Original Bag Balm from the drug store....
Put a small amount on the dry/cracked areas at night before going to sleep .... after a couple nights your knuckles/hands/lips will be as smooth as a baby's bottom.
After they're "back to normal" just keep putting on a little each night and to maintain. You'll be better than ever and won't need chapstick ever again!
It is really good stuff, and they also sell a balm and a few other things from the bees. I keep a block of bees wax for squeaky drawers.

I usually don't use the stuff; I man up. But there are times when it helps. I usually don't like the feel of it though. I'm the same way with lotion. Cracked and bleeding knuckles are worth not feeling greasy.
