infused cigars ?

I recently purchase some Tabak Especial Red Eye's and was wondering if I had to keep these seperate from my other cigars.

    Yes, sir, you do. It's best to segregate infused cigars from your others as the infused cigars will change the smell and taste of the non-infused cigars. Get a cheap 20 or 50 count and use that for your infused sticks.

    I seperate! I use the humidor for my non-infused cigars and a tupperware with humipack for infused. I've never mixed cause I didn't want to contaminate the non-infused. Its nice to have a flavored cigar every now and again but I don't want them all to be that way.

    i do not separate mine. i stick them all in the same humidor. i have not found that my non-infused taste has changed at all.

    I have a stash of Kuba Kuba's and I keep them in the cello and have them sperated from the rest of my sticks but I keep them in the same humi, just under a different divider. I've had no problems with my other sticks tasting like the Kuba's. Just dont let them touch each other. IMO.

    The two infused ones I had were the ones you sent me (Acids) and I just threw them in with the others as well.
    Light 'em up.

    I don't keep them separate. I've not yet noticed any change in my Cohiba's or Cain Nubs and the Cohiba's have been in there for about 2 months with quite a few Drew Estate infused sticks.

    I dunno. Back when I was just getting into it, I mixed some infused sticks I never smoked with some regular cigars, and I really noticed a difference in flavor.

    take out all of the infused sticks for a week.
    then smell your humidor.
    if you can still smell it then it has effected your cigars.

    you may not mind the change in your non-infused but there is some influence.

    I think I'll give that a try and see what happens. Although, I don't mind a little influence, especially if it enhances the flavor and may refine the palate a little more.

    I just use a ziploc bag w/ a water pillow in there for my tabaks.

    as with many things in the cigar world, its mind over matter.

    if you dont mind, it doesnt matter
