You're overthinking it. I've been flavoring my own stogies for years with my own method. I like bourbon, coffee, vanilla, with a touch of orange. I like those cheap J&M Maduros, 6x32. I just put an eighth of a teaspoon of each flavor, plus another eighth of the vanilla, in a tupperware with two cigars at a time. I close and rotate the tupperware to coat both cigars, and leave it in a cabinet. I prep two at a time, and smoke them on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Leave it in there for a few days with the cellophane off and the band removed. When you're ready, take a cigar out, and let it air for about 30 minutes. The stiff, dry cigar has become softer, moister, with great hand and mouth feel. The cigars smell great, and the smoke is rich, fragrant and delicious. I've had people come up to me and say "That cigar smells amazing!"
A few questions. 1. What cigars should you use to get them flavored? Should I buy cheap cigars to do this or make my own? 2. Why not rub the alcohol all over the interior of the container wouldn't it speed the process?
William stout for best results, it is best to use good Cigars and good alcohol. As for rubbing the interior, it won’t work because it’s glass, you can try it in a wooden box. The shot glass has to be there at all times so it can circulate, it takes time for the Cigars to absorb the alcohol.
@The Truth you will have to keep changing it with fresh coffee, or grind up some espresso beans and place in a small container opened, beside it have espresso whole beans resting as well, then a container with distilled water. It should work maybe, never tried it but sounds like it would work. Lol Or maybe it will be a shit show!
As usual…. Good job with your informative video. However, your cameraman needs to lower his caffeine intake though, prior to filming. Im slightly nauseous from watching the video…
Please change the camera guy, seems he is not keen to help you do the video properly. Thumbs down ur great video because of bad video recording quality.
