Will routing Tor through a proxy help avoid cloudflare (and how to do it w/ TBB?)

I've been running into cloudflare issues quite a bit when browsing with Tor and it seems to be becoming more and more of an issue. Sometimes I get captchas, sometimes i don't, but regardless its becoming quite a headache just to try to casually browse semi anonymously. I don't particularly trust proxies and VPNs are as good as thier privacy polcies i guess but I figure that if I am trying to keep me private and not so much data traveling back and forth (I do not log into sites etc or do other serious stuff with TBB, I save that for TAILS).

Sooo, this is a two part'er #1 Would running Tor -> Proxy help hide the fact that i am using tor from cloudflare? (it seems to me it would but i wanted to check) and #2 How does/can one setup the TBB to route Tor traffic through a proxy? I of course found the option "this computer needs to use a proxy to access the internet" and the Preferences -> Proxy Settings but (and forgive me, I do not really understand this stuff) it sounded to me like those would give me a Proxy -> Tor setup which would still give me the cloudflare problem.
