Is it the oils from the freshly ground coffee beans that penetrates the cigar wrapper?
Oh, how much of the grounds did you place on them? Were they covering all sides of the cigars?
In a lot of recipes, coffee is used to enhance the chocolate flavor. Apparently it brings out the "true" choco. flavor. It might enhance the flavor of cigars too. Post back with your findings.
I have a box of Hemingway classics with about a year and a half of age on them. Smoked one a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed with the rather bland one-note woody flavor.
So I figured what the heck, why not run an experiment on them. I took about 2 tablespoons of fresh ground coffee and sprinkled it over the cigars, closed up the box and put them away.
No! Not that!! Please let it DIE!

A few days later I took them out and lit one. I was amazed at how much deeper and richer the flavor had become. It was still a mild smoke, but there was a new dimension added which I found very gratifying and enjoyable.
So, if you have any cigars which do not give you the amount of flavor you like, try it out on a few and see what happens. Maybe some of you BOTL's have done this already. Cheers, Larry.
Just a thought but if you let them dry out a bit first they will probably obsorbe more of the coffee flavor.

WTF! Oh man... heh
I have a small cigar business and do this with low end sticks such as Lafinca. I put an entire bundle in with about a pound of flavored coffee like hazelnut for three or four days.I sell them at a local coffe/wine shop and "coffee infused cigars". While I have not personaly smoked one myself I get a lot of people that love them. Guess I might have to try one myself and see.

Paraphrasing Moki:After reading that, I HAD to try it.
It's interesting, fun, and much better done with a NC maduro (not nearly as acidic).
Yes, it gives you a buzz like no ****ing other.
Hey Moki!- Don't knock it till you've tried it...
I just put some Solo Cafe sticks with ground coffee in a ziplock bag. Hos long should I let them sit there before smoking?
