Cohiba 😂

Well-crafted idea, not sure I am buyer for it. I'd flavor it with gypsy tears.

I tried to infuse a Quinteros with Cognac. I put the cigar and about 1 shot of Cognac in a small tupperware, left it until the cognac fully evaporated. Fired up the cigar...nada. 🫤 Maybe the Cognac evaporated itself out of the tupperware? Cuz it sure didn't get into the cigar.

I used to joke about keeping Cohibas with others to have them 'rub off.'

The dry extract weight of distilled spirits isn't much, and depending on the exact cognac could be 'stuff' that doesn't translate flavor via combustion.

I do love well marketed snake oil.

Soy sauce, ie., twang in a bottle. It has it all - umami, mineral/saltiness, some bright acidity.

Definitely peppermint. Had some aged Padron ‘64 Exclusivos that developed a mint flavor and they were fantastic.

That’s the thing most don’t understand. There are many compounds that contribute to aroma and taste in spirits and other stuff…and how they behave with combustion is a different topic entirely. It’s not as simple as “leave cigar near whiskey, cigar taste like whiskey” . 😂

Cointreau. I have no idea what it is but y'all are always naming it as a flavor note!

This is more 'monkey see, monkey do.' The true response to 'sell me this pen' is 'how loudly does your snake hiss?'

Delicate sweet orange. Cointreau, in my opinion, doesn't flambée well, so I wouldn't reach for it to provide a quality flavor after combustion. Maybe a reserve cuvee Grand Marnier, but this is very gilding a lily.

I could be talked into apricot distillate, and @David8406 mint sounds smart.

A black and mild with a shot of Mickey’s.

I wouldn't. Unless I was giving it to someone I didn't like much, in which case I might as well have a wizz in the tube. Er, not that I'm saying it would fit. 😆
