I have been going through the forum for a little wile now looking for anything on soaking your own cigars and have come up with nothing. Also as i look on the internet i have found no good articles on the matter. if any anyone has any advice on finding info on this topic or know how to do i would love to give it a try.

They had the rum in a spray bottle and just misted the cigars with the rum. Like some guys have mentioned, try it on a few cheapos and see how it turns out.
sorry, couldn't resist!
Do not do this in your regular humidor!!
Overall, my advice: Let them sit as LONG as possible. A week or two won't do anything. Shoot for at least 2 months. Also, use a tupperware container as cigar boxes tend to leak humidity and you've got a good chance of them drying out. I used a small piece of a sponge that I cut off and soaked in the alcohol of choice. Keep a close eye on humidity and check on the cigars often to make sure they're not too spongy. I also found that a good hearty maduro wrapper tends to soak up more flavor than a connecticut wrapper. Good luck!
