Cigar Juice

[VictorMJR66]

Has anyone tried using a dedicated humidor and mixing a little brandy or whatever into the mix?

My first experience with my very own cigars, and my very own humi was with Thompson. They love the naive!
The cigars were so bad, I went ahead and infused (put a shot glass filled with distillate in the humi ) them with jack, brandy, anything to take the taste of asss from the cigars.
Guess what??
Yep, flavored asss!!
Not one cigar from that humi ever tasted good after that!

Education IS expensive!!

The Acid cigars of Drew Estates seem to have been making quite a lot of greenbacks for the last few years with herbal infused cigars. I saw some VERY expensive brandy infused Gurkhas advertised for more than what my car is worth. I guess it's in the technique.

Have you tried either one?

I'm not quite sure what they're doing, more than an excellent marketing campaign...

I've had about 4 different Acids. My first was about 10 years ago and it took serveral years before I came back even though it was pretty enjoyable.

I'm sitting here thinking how hard do you have to squeeze a cigar to get juice out of it.

There's a whole process to it. It's not so much squeezing it's more like condensation type of deal. You over humidify a cigar for about a month, then place in a sealed box with a tube tilting up slightly, that leads to another small box. Then make sure these boxes are in a warm area and give it a few weeks and you'll have a little jar of cigar juice! You then apparently use this in your crystal or w/e humidification device you use! No big deal really.

Okay, then...


...and I know there is a pretty significant flavored White Owl following as well...
