  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I was just wondering if anyone knew the science behind infused cigars. Where in the process does this take place? Is actual coffee involved in some way or is it just a very clever blend?

I think it is infused with coffee flavors. Look up Drew's website it should have all the info you are asking. Also several of the Drew Estate folks are on here and can give you the facts too.

For some reason I have this vision in my head of people pouring half drank cups of coffee into an atomizer that then gets pumped into a room with all the tobacco hanging up. The damp coffee infused air is then used to humidify the room. I'm probably way off.

I guess the DE guys aren't going to jump in here. Oh well, I bought another one today anyway.

The process is something they keep under VERY tight lid. They won't tell anyone anything about it that don't need to know (and I am not surprised, as it is a patented process)...

My understanding is that they get a few hundred women together in a room and they rub the tobacco all over their bodies.
you know what they say, PIX OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. no seriously, please pix!


and yes, with all the people trying to BLATANTLY rip off DE (like gurkha/ cojimar), i would keep the proprietary lips sealed as well.
