Read an article the other day that was interesting pertaining to adding a coffee flavor to cigars. The article said to use whole bean coffee either regular or a mix of vanilla and regular, fill a ziploc bag about halfway and place a few sticks in there working them gently into the coffee, leave for a few weeks and presto coffee infused cigars. My thoughts were if i ever end up with a box of inexpensive yard gars that would benefit from such a procedure I might try it. Anyone on here ever tried this before? I searched threads but found nothing so if this has already been addressed I apologize.

I think I read that same article. Interesting idea and one I may try. The thing I don't normally like about infused cigars is that the one's I've tried all had sweetened caps. Hated that!

I have a buddy who did something similar - he took several yard gars and put them in a Ziploc with a shot glass of bourbon to produce bourbon-infused cigars. Not my thing, but something different.
I also have read stories of people taking infused tobacco "shavings" (like what you find in ACID boxes, I believe) and using that to infuse their cigars.

So, infusing tobacco with tobacco shavings??
Me no understand!

Acids are already infused with...well everything and anything it seems. So they're using the infused acid scraps to infuse flavours into other cigars.

I experimented with this about a year ago using the instructions that I found at this link. http://www.ehow.com/how_7694926_add-flavor-cigars.html
I started with some cheap bundle cigars from Cuban Crafters that I didn't really care for and used Captain Morgan, Goldshlager and vanilla extract in 3 different batches. The instructions said to let them sit for a couple of weeks but I actually let them sit for 6 weeks. The Captain Morgan ones were OK (not great) but the other 2 batches were just nasty. My guess is that they didn't turn out the best because I was using a crappy cigar as a base. I'll probably try it again at some point but haven't had the urge to lately.

Maybe a LP No.9 will turn out good?
or a mistery bomb cigar too....
