Have no idea....but welcome to the forum.

You can try leaving the cigars you want to infuse with a shot of whiskey in their own dedicated humidor. After a month the cigars would have absorbed the whiskey. Milder cigars tend to soak up the flavors more easily. Directly dipping the cigars will ruin it.

I would recommend taking a few cigars to test with, something not expensive and pouring a shot of whiskey and putting the cigars in a ziploc bag along with the shot glass for a few weeks. The cigars should infuse very nicely. I might also add a water pillow in there if the RH isn't high enough.

I've heard of dipping cigars, not soaking them. I assume you lightly dip the end you put in your mouth into your glass of whiskey occasionally as you smoke. This will most certainly ruin any flavors the cigar has to offer on its own merit so it is something you do with lower quality smokes. Take an affordable cigar and just go for it, and then re-post to let us know how it went and what it was like.

i've dipped my cigar in while smoking. it add something to a cigar that has a lot of spice to it. i woudn't recommend it on a mild cigar.

I am like some people, I have heard of it but I have never seen anyone do it.

Skuzzle, I think there is a shop out in Post Falls... and one in the mall, I believe a Tinder Box?.... and I think they have some local rollers doing this. They have their own little roughshod smokes blended with rum. I can ask my brother in law about this, don't live there but near Lake Chelan. He likes them, but i don't might be worth a shot.

thanks for all of the good ideas i have found an old empty cigar box i will have to put some sticks in there with a shot and let you know how it turns out. also i will be checking on that shop in post falls next time i am over there. thanks everyone for the advice.

My friend does this and he uses a jar to do it. Actually the jar was specifically designed for this purpose.

skuzzlebutt86

do you know where he got this jar or what the name of it is?

Not sure this is the "flavor" he is lookiing for...or aroma...LOL

skuzzlebutt86

hawk if you have any other ideas then go for it. i am just trying to infuse some more flavor into some cheap cigars i got from a co-worker.

skuzzlebutt86

alright it has almost been 2 weeks and i put about 15 sticks in with a shot glass of Kahlua and have not had to refill it yet. they are beginning to take on the smell of the Kahlua also. i will be trying one soon to see what happened.

I enjoy a scotch dip while smoking, very enjoyable. I've done the shotglass trick also very nice the smell that comes from your humi will make you tingle a little everytime you open it! Earlier this wk I tried the Clinton dip and holly crap if that wasn't nice. word of advice make sure its a clean dip! Or else your cigar could taste like ***!

I've had a lot of luck using a small spray bottle on the finest mist setting. I use Jim Beam Devils Cut and saturate the exterior, place in a long plastic zip top cigar bag with small needle holes punched in it. I spray it every 2 days over a week. I.E spray Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, smoke Friday or Saturday.

I spilled some coffee in one of my humidifying devices.....thought about infusing cigars instantly. Haven't tried it yet.

You cut, dipped and prepped your skippers cigars? What a pretentious d!ck, I would have nut sacked them. Must have been a naval academy douche bag

Retircs1

LOL yes I did. but it was only done for DV's on board Foreign dignitaries , Congressmen, Senators, even some movies stars . The CO only had his stick done like that when those were on board. You know, now that you mentioned it; He may have been a ring knocker

I actually just used a cigar gel jar, replaced gel with beads, and charged with whiskey instead of water. Sat for a year. Worked great, but tasted ok.
