An Experiment

[mjdx88]

I got the idea from Lowspeed's post.

When storing cigars, you never store flavored cigars if you smoke them right next to your regular sticks at the very least, I know guys who wont even keep them in the same humidor. The concept behind this is that cigars breath and take in notes and flavors from their surroundings, this is why 95% of all humidors are made with spanish cedar, it leaves very nice notes in the cigars.


Why not take a small humidor put 250g of your favorite flavor or tang, SB or AF (im trying to think of the brands that have the strongest scents to them) and then throw in a box of cheap sticks, like 1 dollar sticks. Not gas station brand. Leave them sit a while like a month or so and try one. Doing this for a year or until the cigar taste like whatever shisha you put in. If this works we could have a cheap and quick way to enjoy the same flavors of shisha we love in a cigar. No coals, no water, no hoses, just need a good cutter and lighter.

This would be nice, there are plenty of times I want to enjoy hookah for a little while but cant take the time to setup and smoke. I never smoke without using up all the shisha in a bowl.

the fun is smoking a cigar? its not for everyone. Before I came here I was an avid cigar smoker. I found hookah, and had to make a choice which I wanted to give up. Cigars take way to long to age and believe it or not more work than hookah.

The cigar flavor would far overpower any flavor it picks up from the shisha.

This in theory is a really cool concept! Im a fellow cigar smoker and agree with you that they do take more work to smoke well than Hookah does. I have a humidor full of cigars right now but when I run low I think I may try this and see what results I can come up with!

Let me know, go with like flor de olvias or something cheap , maybe JR alternatives from JR cigars. Those are about a buck a stick.

Actually when you had replied in the post i had thought "whats so wrong with the flavor sharing huh?" But i doubt the flavor would carry enough to make it worth the time and effort. But hey, who knows. Eric knows more about baccy then I so he would be the one to question on this one.

I know what you mean EL, could take a long time for the sticks to pick anything up....it never hurts to try if you got the money and the time.
