Today, in part one of three, let\u2019s start with one of the easiest methods to create homemade, infused cigars \u2013 making \u201cinfusing bags.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, an \u201cinfusing bag\u201d is an airtight bag that encloses a humidifying source, an infusing source, and cigars.\u00a0 And, the best thing about this method is that you most likely have all of the necessary tools right in your kitchen!<\/p>\n<p>Here are the steps to follow to create your own, personally blended, infused premium cigars:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0 Begin with a relatively mild cigar until you are comfortable with how your infusing methods work.\u00a0 Depending on the agent and cigar chosen, the degree of flavoring absorbed by the cigar can differ and, as such, an infusing agent may taste differently on different cigars.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer to use either a corona or\u00a0 robusto sized, mild bodied, US Connecticut wrapped cigar with a relatively steady flavor profile from beginning to end.\u00a0 Brands like Macanudo Caf\u00e9, 8-9-8 Collection, and the Montecristo White (if you feel like a higher end, infused premium cigar) are all excellent options to use.\u00a0 If you choose a larger cigar, keep in mind that more infusing agent will be required over a longer period of time to achieve the same results as with a smaller vitola.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 Gather the needed supplies (the following makes 2 to 4 cigars in two flavors):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Four cigars<\/li>\n<li>Two quart sized (or larger for really big cigars) Ziploc bags, heavy freezer type<\/li>\n<li>Two folding top plastic sandwich bags (the kind that weren\u2019t cool in your lunch in grade school)<\/li>\n<li>One sheet of heavy duty paper towel (the more absorbent, the better!)<\/li>\n<li>Your cigars (I usually infuse no more than 4 per bag)<\/li>\n<li>Your infusing agents (alcohol based rum and vanilla cooking extracts in this case)<\/li>\n<li>A Sharpie for labeling your infusing bags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3.\u00a0 I recommend removing the bands from your cigars, carefully, of course.\u00a0 The paper can absorb some of the infusing agent, reducing its availability to your smokes.\u00a0 Label your infusing bags with the infusing agent used, the date of packaging, and brand of cigar used for future reference!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1572\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-24846\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1692.jpg\" alt=\"img_1692\" width=\"1383\" height=\"2074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1692.jpg 1383w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1692-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1692-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1692-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1692-280x420.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1383px) 100vw, 1383px\" \/>Labeling the cigars (note bands removed)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>4.\u00a0 For two to four cigars, cut one sheet of paper towel into quarters, one quarter to create a humidifier for each infusing bag and another to hold each infusing agent in each.<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0 To make the humidifiers, take one of the quarters and fold it into a rectangle; folding it in half once, then into thirds.\u00a0 Soak the towel with distilled water thoroughly and squeeze out until wet, but not dripping.\u00a0 Tuck the towel into the corner of a fold top type baggie and fold the bag edge down three times neatly.\u00a0 Fold the bag in half one time horizontally to create a small humidifier.\u00a0 (See below)<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-31368\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Folding_a_baggie_humidifier.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1433\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Folding_a_baggie_humidifier.jpg 1433w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Folding_a_baggie_humidifier-768x160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Folding_a_baggie_humidifier-696x145.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Folding_a_baggie_humidifier-1068x222.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1433px) 100vw, 1433px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Folding a baggie humidifier<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>6.\u00a0 Tuck a humidifier into the corner of each of your infusing bags. \u00a0Tuck your cigars in the opposite corner.
