Cigar Blend
Flavor Infusion
Method
Cigar Preparation
Prepare the Tobacco Mix
In a clean, dry bowl, combine the Cuban, Dominican, and Nicaraguan tobacco leaves. Ensure that they are evenly mixed for a balanced flavor.
Add Binder and Wrapper Leaves
Incorporate the binder leaves into your tobacco mix, followed by the wrapper leaves. Gently handle the leaves to maintain their integrity.
Moisten the Tobacco
Lightly moisten the tobacco blend with distilled water to prevent it from being too dry. This will help with rolling.
Flavor Infusion
Prepare Flavor Mix
In a small bowl, mix together the vanilla extract, honey, and aged rum until well combined.
Infuse the Tobacco
Slowly drizzle the flavor mix over the moistened tobacco blend. Gently toss to ensure that the tobacco is evenly coated. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
Cigar Rolling
Roll the Cigar
Take a small amount of the infused tobacco and roll it tightly in your hands. Use a rolling mat if available to create a uniform shape.
Seal the Cigar
Once rolled, moisten the edge of the wrapper leaf and press it to seal the cigar. Allow the cigar to rest for a few minutes.
