PHILOSOPHY
Infusion is not about force.
It is about time, balance, and control.
The Method is built for those who understand that refinement cannot be rushed. It is a structured discipline, and the instrument is simply the means. Flavor is not added, it is revealed.
Every decision, from curriculum to craftsmanship, follows the same principle: restraint over excess.
RITUAL
A simple ritual. Controlled results.
Four steps. No excess. Only intention.
Step 2
Choose the profile
Spirit, aroma, intention.
Step 3
Infuse
5–7 days is ideal. 10 days maximum for deeper notes.
Step 4
Enjoy the ritual
Take your time.
The Academy trains the ritual as a repeatable method. Certification formalizes the practice for lounges, hosts, and practitioners.

FROM THE CIGAR COMMUNITY
A voice of tradition.
"As a committed traditionalist, I approach both cigar production and consumption with great conservatism.
Yet I found Cigar Infuse to be a genuinely intriguing tool. Not a product designed to add flavor, but one that creates conditions.
After my first tasting and discussion with Guy Pardillos, I understood the vision clearly. The infuser places the user in the role of an occasional cigar blender. Not to alter tradition, but to explore within it.
Like a barrel for a spirit or a chisel for a sculptor, the tool itself does nothing without judgment. What emerges depends entirely on the hand that uses it.
Beyond customization and aroma exploration, I also see value in its ability to revive cigars that have lost part of their character.
This is a tool worth having for taste research, personal expression, and disciplined play. I congratulate Guy Pardillos for offering something genuinely new to the cigar community."

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is Cigar Infuse meant for experimentation?
Yes. It is designed as a tool, allowing you to test aroma profiles and timing until you discover a personal signature. The Academy formalizes this into a repeatable method.
Does infusion compromise the cigar?
Cigar Infuse is designed for controlled infusion—clean, deliberate, and repeatable—so the cigar remains the focus.
Is Cigar Infuse suitable as a gift?
Yes. Cigar Infuse is designed to be gifted with confidence—elegant, meaningful, and intentional.
Is it crafted to order?
Each stand is shaped, finished, and assembled by hand. No mass production. No shortcuts.
What type of cigar is best for infusion?
Well-constructed, medium to full-bodied cigars respond best. They allow subtle aromas to integrate without overpowering the original profile.
What type of infusion can be done?
Spirits such as whisky, rum, cognac, and aged brandy work particularly well. Coffee, vanilla, citrus, and spices can also be used sparingly.
Does the alcohol touch the cigar?
No. The cigar is never in contact with liquid. Infusion occurs through controlled aromatic transfer only.
How long should I infuse a cigar?
5–7 days is ideal. Infusion can be extended up to 10 days for deeper notes. See the full infusion method.
Can infusion damage the cigar?
