Long time smoker, first time poster!

Krieger

Hey, been smoking these delicious sticks for better part of 4 years now.

Started with a Macanudo, but that was just too light for my tastes so I went up to a La Gloria Cubana and holy smokes I loved the more complex flavors assosiated with medium to full bodied cigars.

Now, I have a 350 count humidor, 2 20 counts, and a coolidor in the works to hold my ever expanding collection!

Been stocking up alot lately with the lkes of Comancho Triple Maduro (Power house cigar!), Diesels, Cain F series, Ave Maria, and Ghurkas. I still love my Rocky Patels and La Gloria Cubanas, but I am getting more and more experimental with my pallet. Tons of other cigars tucked away that I cant remember the names of, but im smoking pretty much anything I find to be to my taste.

My latest smoke today was a cigar I had injected with a bit of Ron Barcelo Anejo Rum a bit over a year ago. I got it slightly moist inside with the rum from foot to head and then laid her to rest in a small humidor to rest for the last year on her own so as to not absorb any other tastes. Lit her up today and BAM, it was like smoking one of the cigar god's own stogies. Smooth, mellow, slight spices, but tons of sweet rum flavor throughout and a cool, even burn. Good thing I made two!

Anyways, Ill be popping on here from time to time as I work in a liquor and cigar store, and have time on my hands sometimes, but Paramedic school keeps me pretty busy otherwise.

I look forward to getting to know some of you fellow lovers of the leaf, and seeing some reviews to further expand my supply!

It is a good thing that you are going to paramedics school. First Aid is always needed in this forum.

Some of us have been trying to self-infuse with a tupperware container and it never seems to work right, but just a warning to you:

You're gonna get banned real quick off this forum unless you post how you got this to work

I worked at a hospital, in the Operating room for 2 years, so I had access to all kinds of needles... I think you get where this is going, but ill just go into detail anyways.

Get a really small needle, the larger the gauge number the better, a 22 will work just fine, but get a long one, preferably at least 2 inches. You can get this from any animal feed or supply store in the form of cow needles actually. Same thing as you would get stuck with in the hospital, but legal for you to buy. haha

I started at the foot, holding the stick straight up and down and slowly inserted the needle so as to do as little damage as possible. I got the needle in as far as possible, then slowly injected small amounts of rum as I backed it out at a steady, slow pace. Didnt use alot of rum, as your wanting the infusion of the taste, not to flood the cigar with it!

so, after doing that back half, i then used a punch to get the cap open on the head and repeated from that end. I then put the stick in a humi and let her sit for a few hours, checked on it and rolled it over to make sure there was no wet spot. There was none, so I allowed it to sit while I went and seasoned up another one and tried the same idea, but with a bit more rum this time.

After the first 2 days of rolling it every few hours, I then put them in their own humidor and let them sit for a month, checked them, rolled them, and repeated for another few months. about 6 months into it, i just started checking for humidity and temp issues and didnt even worry about rolling them as there were zero signs that i did anything to the cigar, other than the humi and cigar had the distinctly sweet smell of sugar cane rum. :-)

13 months after I injected it, i lit that first one up and enjoyed an hour of pure bliss. No burn issues, no runs, and the smoke was insanely smooth. Almost like a mouth-gasm.

Wow, I'm not into that sort of thing. But where I come from, that's High Speed. Welcome to forum and good luck.....

I had tried lots of other stuff, but that was the only one that ever worked. I have dipped them, sprayed them, dabbed some on with my fingers, put some in a jar with a stick and let it sit and nothing worked as well. either it was wayyyyyy too wet, too strong, or didnt do anything but waste a good stick and some liquor.

Welcome to the forums!

Paramedic school, eh? If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask. I've been down that road! I think there's a couple others on here as well that are medics.
