ABSTRACT:
A method for treating a formed tobacco product/smoking article is disclosed. The method includes a two phase process. The first phase involves exposing the formed tobacco product to aromatic extracts to introduce vapor of the extracts to an interior of the tobacco product. To expose the tobacco product to the extracts, a cedar filament is moistened with a first extract and then wrapped around the product. After a predetermined time period, a second cedar filament may be moistened with a second extract and wrapped around the product for an additional time period, and so on. The second phase involves immersing the phase one treated tobacco product in a damp paste containing ground spices, flavored coffee, aromatic extracts, and flavored alcohol. Preferably, the paste covered product is kept in a humidor for a six week period, with the paste freshened weekly. A cigar treated by the method is also disclosed. Following the procedure, the cigar may be sealed in a cedar-lined aluminum tube with a bit of damp paste tucked in one end of the tube. A kit, usable by cigar enthusiasts, is also disclosed which includes the elements described in the method such as the ingredients, cedar filaments, humidor, measuring devices, mixing utensil, dropper, and may further include a cigar suitable for treating, an instruction manual containing directions for treating the cigar, and packaging materials.
