Infusing My Own Cigars

I picked up a bundle of yard burners (Nestor Plesencia 2004) from CI - 24 sticks for $19.99. Actually, they are not that bad given the price :pp

Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone has or if it even possible to infuse cigars at home?

I love JAVA cigars but cannot always afford them - so I was thinking of infusing these stogies myself. I tend to like that chococately/coffee infusion and wanted to try to replicate that flavor profile.

I was goning to try it out with several ciagrs and see how they turned out before doing a larger number.

Any help would be appreciated :tu
 
While I don't generally like infused cigars...I do partake in the Java wafe once in a blue moon...Usually when I'm lighting it for one of my biotches...

I think a coffee infused cigar may actually be pretty interesting...

I think if you simply grind some espresso beans (preferably one you just roasted at home)...and put them in an airtight container with a cigar....I wouldn't lay the cigar right on the coffee since that could turn into an oily mess...especially with the darker roasts....Use one of those little white tables that come in a pizza box's...Do those still come with pizza?... Otherwise use anything to elevate the cigar a bit..

I think...if it's fresh ground coffee, it will let off co2 like it normally does...and will build pressure in the airtight container...just like how mason jars tops get distended a day after putting in fresh roasted coffee...I think this presser would really infuse the cigar....

If you use the method I just came up with while sitting in my boxers drinking coffee let me know how it works.

I don't know if I have a Mason jar, I can always buy one - no biggie. But do you think this would work in an airtight Tupperware container?

How long should I keep the cigar "locked up"?

I really dont know for sure....I dont think the tupperware would works as I doubt it can take the pressure coffee can leach....get a big mason jar or a small one with smaller cigars....

1 week should do it....since it's under pressure

*again* speaking right out of my ass here
 
Here is a quick update...

I ground up some chocolate, coffee and cocoa powder and placed it at the bottom of a ceramic mason jar along with three cigars.

I placed the cigars on a little pedestal so none of the mixture would get in and taint the tobacco and sealed the jar.

After several days I opened the jar for the first time, the inital aroma on the cigars was pretty good; a nice coffee and cocoa combo - just what I was looking for.

I then...

added one small dessert cup (about 3 ounces or so) of hot, fresh brewed coffee on top of the grounded mixture and placed the cigars back on the pedestal and sealed the lid. The steam from the coffee will add a nice blast of humidity and moisture into the sticks to make sure they do not get hard. It will also help infuse the aromas faster into the tobacco then simply using the dry mixture.

I will revisit the sticks in about 3-4 days to see how they are doing and get back to you with an update.
