How to Make Rum Flavored Cigars
- 1). Select a mild to mild-medium cigar for the purpose of infusing it with rum. A Dominican blend with a Connecticut shade wrapper is often a good choice. Many manufacturers produce these cigars, ranging in price from around $1 to upwards of $15.
- 2). Choose a rum to be used for infusing. Take into consideration personal preference and price; also consider the price of the cigar. It does not make sense to infuse a high-end cigar with cheap rum.
- 3). Place a small glass container into the bottom of the air-tight container. On either end of the container, place two blocks of wood that are slightly higher than the top of the glass container. The blocks of wood should be made of Spanish cedar, if possible. The goal is for the blocks to suspend the cigars above the container.
- 4). Pour rum into the glass container so that it is about three-fourths full. Place the cigars into the box, allowing them to rest above the rum on the wooden blocks.
- 5). Place the lid on the container and allow to sit for several days. Check the cigars to ensure they are not becoming too humid, and then reseal. The infusing process can take several weeks; however, the actual time will depend on the preference of the individual enjoying the cigar in the end.
