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

Two versions available

Solo
Solo Version — 1 infuser
The Infusio Cristal alone, with cork stopper and angled base. To start the experience or complete a collection.

Borosilicate glass — laboratory glassware for your cigars

Borosilicate glass is the same material used in test tubes, beakers, and laboratory glassware. Unlike ordinary glass, it resists thermal shocks (rapid transition 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 cigar's color change over the days. Chemically inert, borosilicate glass retains no odors between uses—you can switch from whiskey to coffee without residual aromatic transfer.

Why choose the Infusio Cristal

Passive infusion — zero contact
The liquid remains in the lower chamber. Only volatile aromas rise by natural diffusion — the cigar remains dry and intact.
Combustion and draw preserved
The cigar's structure is not altered: the draw remains perfectly fluid, the burn even. Only the aromatic notes are enriched.
Compatible with all spirits
Whisky, cognac, rum, bourbon, coffee, honey, floral essences — an infinite number of combinations to explore according to your taste.
High-quality borosilicate glass
Resistant to thermal shock, transparent for observing infusion, chemically inert — no odor transfer between uses.
Results in 3 to 5 days
Start the infusion on Monday, enjoy on Friday evening. Extend up to 7 days for more pronounced notes.
Unique cigar gift
Not found in department stores — the gift that surprises even the most seasoned enthusiasts. Duo set ready to offer.
Infusio Cristal — the art of transforming a cigar without touching it
The idea behind the Infusio Cristal is based on a simple and elegant principle: aromas are volatile. Enclose a cigar in a confined space with a few milliliters of whisky, and the aromatic molecules of the alcohol—esters, aldehydes, phenols—will naturally migrate to the porous wrapper of the cigar. 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 tobacco's natural notes. The experience is different each time: a peated whisky gives smoky and iodine notes, a cognac brings fruit and wood, an Arabica coffee leaves traces of cocoa and roasted hazelnut. The tasting ritual no longer begins with lighting—it begins five days earlier, when you pour the first drops into the glass chamber.

Five-step instructions

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—diffusion is passive and gradual.
2
Insert the cigar. Place your cigar in the upper tube. The cigar does not touch the liquid—only volatile aromas rise by natural diffusion in the confined space of the tube.
3
Close and set. Stopper with the provided cork stopper and place the infuser on its transparent angled base. The inclination 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 pronounced 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 aggressiveness, without altering the draw. The pleasure unfolds gradually, from foot to band.

Recommended aromas and cigar pairings

Scotch whisky
Peaty and smoky notes — sublimes a full-bodied Partagas or Bolivar
Cognac / Armagnac
Fruity and woody notes — enhances a Montecristo or a medium-sized module
Aged rum
Vanilla and caramel notes — perfect with a Dominican or Nicaraguan cigar
Arabica coffee
Roasted and chocolate notes — classic pairing with maduro wrappers
Acacia honey
Floral and sweet notes — softens a powerful or tannic cigar
Dried lavender
Herbal and floral notes — unique experience on a light Connecticut wrapper

Maximum cigar size: the tube accommodates cigars up to 17.8 cm long and 3 cm in diameter (max 60 ring gauge). This covers almost all common formats: Robusto, Corona, Toro, and Churchill. Make sure your cigar fits into the tube before starting the infusion.

Tasting tip: start with a peated Scotch whisky with a full-bodied Cuban cigar — the smoky/smoky combination is striking. For a sweeter result, aged rum on a medium-strength module yields remarkable vanilla and woody notes. Choose well-aged cigars (at least 3 months in a humidor) for 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 shocks (drops, impacts). Handle it with care and always place it on its provided angled base to prevent it from rolling. Avoid overly sugary liquids (thick syrups, molasses) which can leave sticky residues in the chamber — prefer spirits and fluid infusions.

The Infusio Cristal is not found in department stores — it's a niche accessory designed for enthusiasts who think they've tried everything. The Duo version in a gift set with foam holder is delivered ready to offer, without additional packaging. Offer it for a birthday, Father's Day, Christmas, or an exceptional corporate gift. The recipient receives not an object, but a sensory experience: that of infusing their first cigar with whisky, cognac, or rum and discovering notes they never thought possible.

Frequently asked questions

Does infusion alter the cigar's draw or combustion?
No. Passive infusion does not wet the cigar — only volatile aromas diffuse via vapor into the enclosed space of the tube. The structure, draw, and combustion remain perfectly intact. Only the aromatic notes are enriched: the first puffs reveal an additional layer that overlays the tobacco's natural notes 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 can 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 distinct 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 extend the process. Intensity also depends on the type of liquid and the cigar's format: a small Corona absorbs faster than a thick Churchill.
What cigars are compatible with the Infusio Cristal?
All cigars measuring a maximum of 17.8 cm long and 3 cm in diameter (ring gauge ≤ 60). Standard Robusto, Corona, Toro, and Churchill formats are all compatible. Prioritize well-aged cigars (at least 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 the Infusio Cristal be reused with another aroma?
Yes, as many times as you wish. Borosilicate glass is chemically inert — it retains no odors and does not stain over repeated uses. A simple rinse with lukewarm water between two 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 angled base — ideal for starting out or adding to a collection. The Duo version contains two infusers in a gift set with foam holder, ready to be given. 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 instantly makes an exceptional gift.
Does the Infusio Cristal make a good gift for a cigar lover?
It's probably the most original cigar gift you can offer. Unavailable in supermarkets, the Infusio Cristal offers a new sensory experience even to the most seasoned enthusiasts — that of infusing a cigar with whisky, cognac, or rum and discovering unexpected notes. The Duo gift set version is presented like a jewel box and is sufficient on its own. Pair it with a lighter and a cigar cutter to create a complete tasting set.
