Infusing your own cigars. Sort of.

Echambers

First let me be clear that I am not a big fan if infused cigars but I was interested in a comment about pickle infused cigars on another page. Has anyone seriously tried to infused a cigar? Is as simple as sticking a handful of mild cigars in a humi full of fresh roared coffee and letting them sit for a few months?

I tried it once with Whiskey and a Beauty. The thing swelled up so bad I'm surprised it didn't bust. Swelled up right around the band. I put it in a Tupperware dish with a shot glass of whiskey befor I went to the boat. By the time I got home it had gone from a 60 ring gage to a 62. I didn't get as much flavor as I was expecting. I might try it again though but maybe with a slower process. Say a day or two at a time then rest then do it again off and on for a month or two. I've had one other whiskey infused stick and really liked the sweetness it gave to it.

Fascinating. I think I'm going to try a couple of experiments tonight when I get home.

When Stan and I were hosting the Jigsaw games, one of the ideas was to infuse a cigar with soy sauce and have a victim smoke it to complete a challenge. Unfortunately, it would take months to prepare that.

If you would use coffee do you have to worry about mold growing on the coffee after a while? I know I've found some old coffee cups that were growing things.

Has anyone tried using the ground grains used to make beer? Not sure hops would be such a good combination, but malted barley might work.

Spent grains or "fresh" grains

Hadn't given it much thought to be honest, but I suppose you'd have to steep whatever you intended to use.
