Best Bourbon Flavored Cigar

[billybarue]

Yea I think you are right.

If I were to try this it is sure won't be with a premium. I think it would take months, not hours to incorporate/infuse/cure/dry with the tobacco - not hours, if it were to work at all. Which, I concede is highly doubtful, but it could be an interesting little tobacco alchemy experiment.

A nice Monte #2 with a glass of Knob Creek on the rocks....That would be the best "bourbon flavored" cigar to me. RJT

They go for about $14 a stick here at the local B&M's

One place had them for $11 and another at $10. I took a pass on them.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Not a big fan of flavored cigars, but the Maker's Mark is the one I have had that I thought was actually a decent cigar. Price is outrageous, but if you get one gifted to you, and the mood for a flavored 'gar hits you, they are about the best I've had.

My Great B&M guy Ali at Santa MonicoTobacco gave me a gift of a Makers Mark a month or two ago. I didn't know anything about the brand, opened it to get the aroma which was very nice. I resealed the tube and isolated it so as not to infuse the other stogies.
Had no idea it was such an upscale smoke & am looking forward to it.

This is probably a dumb question, but what’s a TL? Is that some kind of point system?

wow i have seen the maker's mark cigars but never tried one. from all the raves I'm reading here, I think i'm going to have to pick one up next time I see one available.

My buddy did actually roll the cigars in cognac on a plate, then let dry on wax paper for a couple days then put in his humidor, a week later when we smoked them, I could barely taste it.
The guy in the cigar shop said to actually DIP the cigar (both ends to get the whole thing) in a glass of liquer, then allow to dry. he used churchill rejects ($2 a stick, but not a bad tasting albeit milder cigar befor the dipping) If I were to use his method, it would need to be repeated several times. I may just try the dip method the cigar shop guy mentioned on a cheap cigar like that (Before I do a Fuente or Padron).

I prefer bourbon-flavored bourbon and cigar-flavord cigars.

Bollox, I'll figure this out and post the process.
