Coffee Beans and Storage

[blessednxs65]

The other day I get this e-mail from Cigar Advisor and they are telling that one way to get the coffee flavor into a cigar is to take a maduro and place it in a ziploc with coffee beans (Starbucks and Vanilla).

Has anyone tried this?

The reason I ask is that I love the flavor of the thin Java's and I didn't like the Tabak from Drew Estates (too sweet). So I am hoping to find that sweet spot (poor play on words huh...).

Thanks in advance.

Ask D Price, I think he tried doing this one time.

May need to grind or mash the beans a bit. It's pretty much the same as infusing. Infusing is just done pre-rolling to the tobacco. I'm sure you can get your cigars to absorb some of the aroma of the coffee beans.

Never heard of it, but it couldn't hurt to try a couple. Sounds like a pretty cool experiment.

I think I am going to test it out on some Gran Habano 2002s this week. I will post how it goes when I smoke one.

Here's what the post said in its entirety...

Smoke This!
(our Cigar Tip of the Week)

A recipe for homemade coffee-scented cigars

Pour a mix of Starbucks Espresso Roast (whole beans) and Eight O’Clock French Vanilla (whole beans) into a Ziploc bag. Shake well. Take your favorite oily, Maduro/Sun Grown/Oscuro cigars (dark wrapper leaf cigars work best), place them in the bag with the coffee beans, seal it, and let sit for a week or two. Then...OMG, WOW! Or, as Emeril LaGasse would say – "BAM! The aroma, the taste, you must try this!!"

Well I started mine yesterday. Have a ton of ground up beans I placed in a bag. Then took 5 gran habano vintage cigars and put them in blue industrial wipes so they can easily breath.

Sounds interesting. I'm not a fan of infused cigars, but coffee is my favorite note to get in any cigar.

Amen to that and a good cigar with a good cup of coffee is how I start and end my day.

Would this be in an attempt to make a mediocre cigar better? I don't get adding some other flavor to an already good cigar. A buddy did that by wiping the inside of his humi with a chocolate bar. I stopped giving him sticks... lol

States have "special" homes for people like that :thumbsup:
