The Infusio Cristal is the first passive aroma cigar infuser: there is no contact between the liquid and the cigar, meaning no alteration to the structure, draw, or burn. Passive infusion Pour a few drops of whisky, cognac, rum, coffee, or honey into the lower borosilicate glass chamber, insert your cigar into the upper tube, seal it with the cork stopper, and let the volatile aromas rise through natural diffusion for 3 to 5 days. The result: a cigar subtly infused with new notes—woody, fruity, toasted, or floral—that you would never have discovered otherwise. The tube accommodates cigars up to 17.8 × 3 cm (60 ring gauge), which covers almost all common formats: Robusto, Corona, Toro, and Churchill. Available in a Solo version (1 infuser) or a Duo set (2 infusers with protective foam)—the most original cigar gift on the market.

Borosilicate glass — laboratory glassware at the service of the cigar
Borosilicate glass is the same material used for test tubes, beakers, and laboratory glassware. Unlike ordinary glass, it resists thermal shock (rapid transitions from hot to cold without cracking) and the weak acids found in spirits—an essential point for an infuser in prolonged contact with alcohol.
Its perfect transparency allows you to visually monitor the infusion: you can see the liquid level in the lower chamber and observe the color of the cigar evolving over the days. Chemically inert, borosilicate glass does not retain any odor between uses—you can switch from whisky to coffee without residual aromatic transfer.

Infusio Cristal — the art of transforming a cigar without touching it
The idea behind the Infusio Cristal relies on a simple and elegant principle: aromas are volatile. Enclose a cigar in a sealed space with a few milliliters of whisky, and the alcohol's aromatic molecules—esters, aldehydes, phenols—naturally migrate toward the cigar's porous wrapper. No soaking, no spraying, no contact: just the physics of diffusion in a transparent glass tube. In 3 to 5 days, the cigar subtly absorbs the notes of the chosen liquid without its structure being compromised—the draw remains fluid, the burn even, and the first puffs reveal a new aromatic layer that overlays the natural notes of the tobacco. The experience is different every time: a peaty whisky provides smoky and iodine notes, a cognac adds fruit and wood, and an Arabica coffee leaves traces of cocoa and toasted hazelnut. The tasting ritual no longer begins at lighting—it begins five days earlier, the moment you pour the first drops into the glass chamber.
Five-step user guide
1
Choose your aroma. Pour 5 to 10 ml of whisky, cognac, rum, coffee, syrup, or honey into the lower glass chamber. A small amount of liquid is sufficient—the diffusion is passive and gradual.
2
Insert the cigar. Place your cigar in the upper tube. The cigar does not touch the liquid—only the volatile aromas rise through natural diffusion within the tube's enclosed space.
3
Close and place. Seal with the provided cork stopper and place the infuser on its transparent slanted stand. The angle optimizes the exchange surface between the aromas and the cigar wrapper.
4
Wait 3 to 5 days. Test after 3 days for a light infusion. Extend up to 7 days for more marked notes. Patience is rewarded—it is what makes the difference between a subtle experience and a revelation.
5
Enjoy. Light your cigar normally. The first puffs reveal the gently infused notes—without aggression or alteration to the draw. The pleasure unfolds gradually, from the foot to the band.

Maximum cigar dimensions: the tube accepts cigars up to 17.8 cm in length and 3 cm in diameter (60 ring gauge max). This covers almost all common formats: Robusto, Corona, Toro, and Churchill. Verify that your cigar fits into the tube before starting the infusion.
Tasting tip: start with a peated Scotch whisky and a full-bodied Cuban cigar—the smoky/smoky combination is striking. For a smoother result, aged rum on a medium-strength module yields remarkable vanilla and wood notes. Choose well-aged cigars (minimum 3 months in a humidor) for an optimal infusion—cigars that are too fresh absorb aromas less effectively.

Fragile glass: the Infusio Cristal is a borosilicate glass instrument—resistant to thermal variations, but sensitive to mechanical shock (drops, impacts). Handle with care and always place it on its provided slanted stand to prevent it from rolling. Avoid overly sugary liquids (thick syrups, molasses) which may leave sticky residues in the chamber—prefer spirits and fluid infusions.
The most original cigar gift on the market
The Infusio Cristal is not found in retail stores—it is a niche accessory designed for aficionados who think they have tried everything. The Duo version in a set with protective foam is delivered ready to give as a gift, with no additional packaging required. Offer it for a birthday, Father's Day, Christmas, or an extraordinary corporate gift. The recipient receives not just an object, but a sensory experience: that of infusing their first cigar with whisky, cognac, or rum and discovering notes they never imagined possible.

Frequently asked questions
Does the infusion alter the cigar's draw or burn?
No. Passive infusion does not wet the cigar—only volatile aromas diffuse via vapor within the tube's enclosed space. The structure, draw, and burn remain perfectly intact. Only the aromatic notes are enriched: the first puffs reveal an additional layer that overlays the natural notes of the tobacco without masking them.
What liquids can be used in the Infusio Cristal?
All spirits (whisky, cognac, rum, bourbon, vodka), fluid syrups (maple, orgeat), coffee, liquid honey, and floral essences (lavender, jasmine, rose). Avoid overly thick or very sugary liquids (molasses, concentrated syrups) that may leave sticky residues in the glass chamber. The Infusio can be rinsed with lukewarm water between each use—no residual aromatic transfer.
How long should a cigar be infused?
3 days for a light and subtle infusion. 5 days for a marked and balanced infusion. Up to 7 days for very pronounced notes. Test after 3 days by lighting the cigar—if the aroma suits you, stop the infusion. Otherwise, return the cigar to the tube and continue. The intensity also depends on the type of liquid and the size of the cigar: a small Corona absorbs faster than a thick Churchill.
Which cigars are compatible with the Infusio Cristal?
All cigars measuring a maximum of 17.8 cm in length and 3 cm in diameter (ring ≤ 60). Standard Robusto, Corona, Toro, and Churchill formats are all compatible. Prioritize well-aged cigars (minimum 3 months in a humidor)—cigars that are too fresh or still in the aging phase absorb aromas less effectively and the result will be less nuanced.
Can I reuse the Infusio Cristal with a different aroma?
Yes, as many times as you like. Borosilicate glass is chemically inert—it does not retain any odor and does not become stained over time. A simple rinse with lukewarm water between infusions is enough to eliminate any residue. You can switch from whisky to coffee, then to rum, without aromatic transfer. This is one of the major advantages of glass over wooden infusers.
What is the difference between the Solo and Duo versions?
The Solo version contains one infuser with its cork stopper and slanted stand—ideal for starting or completing a collection. The Duo version contains two infusers in a set with protective foam, ready to give as a gift. The advantage of the Duo: you can infuse two different aromas in parallel and compare the results on the same evening—or offer a complete set that immediately becomes an exceptional gift.
Is the Infusio Cristal a good gift for a cigar aficionado?
It is probably the most original cigar gift you could offer. Not found in retail stores, the Infusio Cristal offers a new sensory experience even to the most seasoned aficionados—that of infusing a cigar with whisky, cognac, or rum and discovering unexpected notes. The Duo set is presented like a jewel case and is a gift in itself. Pair it with a lighter and a cigar cutter to assemble a complete tasting set.
