The INFUSIO RITUAL is the cigar infuser in its purest form: a hand-blown glass tube placed horizontally on a crystalline acrylic base, sealed at one end by a natural cork stopper and extended at the other by a glass sphere containing the spirit of your choice. Hand-blown glass & acrylic A cigar, a whisky sphere, a transparent base — nothing more. The RITUAL reduces aromatic infusion to its absolute essence: the contact between the vapors of a fine spirit and the leaves of an exceptional cigar, in an airtight tube where time does the rest. No hygrometer, no LEDs, no electronics — just the glass, the cork, and patience. An object of contemplation that sits on a bar, a desk, or a coffee table like a minimalist sculpture.

Hand-blown glass: transparency and neutrality
The RITUAL tube is made of high-clarity hand-blown glass — artisanal glass whose crystalline transparency allows you to observe the cigar and the infusion liquid without any distortion. Unlike industrial glass, hand-blown glass is chemically neutral: it neither absorbs nor releases any aromas, ensuring that only the molecules of the spirit come into contact with the cigar.
The glass sphere at the end of the tube is the infusion reservoir. Its round shape is no coincidence: it maximizes the evaporation surface of the liquid while keeping it separated from the cigar by the narrow neck that connects the sphere to the tube. The vapors rise naturally into the horizontal tube and envelop the cigar with a deliberate slowness — the gentlest and most progressive infusion in the entire INFUSIO collection.
Why choose the RITUAL
🥃
Integrated infusion sphere
Pour a few drops of whisky, rum, or cognac into the sphere. The vapors envelop the cigar slowly and naturally.
🔬
Crystalline hand-blown glass
Perfect transparency, total chemical neutrality. The cigar and the amber liquid are visible from all angles.
🪵
Natural cork stopper
Airtight seal that preserves humidity and concentrates aromas within the tube. A noble and traditional material.
💎
Solid acrylic base
Thick crystalline acrylic base that holds the tube in a horizontal position with perfect stability and elegance.
✨
Absolute minimalism
No hygrometer, no LEDs, no electronics. Just glass, cork, and time. Infusion in its most refined form.
🎁
Sculptural object
Placed on a bar or desk, the RITUAL looks like a gallery piece. The cigar floats in the glass as an object of contemplation.
The elegance of less
The RITUAL is the object you notice precisely because it doesn't try to impress. A transparent glass tube rests horizontally on two crystalline acrylic uprights, which are attached to a thick rectangular base that anchors the assembly with poise. At one end, the cork stopper — textured, earthy, organic — contrasts with the purity of the glass. At the other, the hand-blown glass sphere captures the light and reveals the amber liquid it contains: a few centiliters of whisky, cognac, or rum that take on golden highlights depending on the angle of the lighting.
Between the two, the cigar — suspended in the transparent void of the tube, its band visible, the wrapper intact — becomes the visual focus of the composition. The whole evokes a scientific instrument from another century: a chemist’s test tube repurposed into a ritual of pleasure. The RITUAL does nothing more than what it promises — infusing a cigar with a spirit in a sealed environment — but it does so with a silent grace that transforms every bar or smoking room into a cabinet of curiosities. It is the infuser you choose when you know that simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.
Infusion in 4 steps
1
Fill the sphere — remove the cork stopper and tilt the tube to pour a few drops of your favorite spirit into the glass sphere. The narrow neck between the sphere and the tube prevents the liquid from flowing toward the cigar.
2
Insert your cigar — slide a cigar through the opening of the stopper. The horizontal tube accommodates most classic formats. Position the cigar so that it does not touch the neck of the sphere.
3
Seal with cork — push the natural cork stopper in firmly. The tube is now airtight. The spirit vapors diffuse slowly in the enclosed space and permeate the cigar wrapper.
4
Wait and enjoy — let it infuse for 24 to 72 hours. Remove the stopper, take out the cigar, cut it, and light it. The first puffs reveal the notes inherited from the spirit — vanilla, caramel, peat, dried fruits — depending on your choice.

Why horizontal? — The RITUAL's reclining position is not just aesthetic. When horizontal, the spirit vapors are distributed evenly along the entire length of the cigar — from head to foot — rather than rising upward as in a vertical tube. The result: a more homogeneous infusion, without areas of excessive concentration. It is also the natural storage position for a cigar, which preserves the distribution of moisture within the leaf.
Recommended dosage and spirits — The RITUAL sphere is compact: 5 to 10 drops are sufficient. Choose spirits with a strong aromatic profile — peated single malt, XO rum, VSOP cognac, caramel bourbon — as the horizontal infusion is gentle and progressive. For a pronounced result, extend to 72 hours. The cork stopper ensures an effective seal but not an absolute one over very long periods: do not exceed one week of continuous infusion.

Cigar and spirits not included — The INFUSIO RITUAL is delivered without cigars or spirits. Visuals are provided for reference only. Do not fill the sphere beyond its capacity — the liquid must not flow into the tube and contact the cigar. Hand-blown glass is an artisanal material: slight variations in thickness or shape are normal and bear witness to manual craftsmanship. Handle with care — hand-blown glass is durable but not unbreakable.
🎁 An entry into the world of infusion
The RITUAL is the ideal first step into the art of aromatic infusion. Its single-cigar format and sculptural design make it a gift that surprises and intrigues — even the most experienced enthusiasts. Give it for a birthday, an elegant business gift, or a cigar evening among connoisseurs. Add a bottle of single malt for a complete set.
Complete the ritual: discover the TWIN, the CALICE, and the SANCTUAIRE to explore the entire INFUSIO collection. Pair it with a torch lighter and a cigar cutter.
Frequently asked questions
Does the cigar touch the spirit in the sphere?
No. The glass sphere is connected to the tube by a narrow neck that prevents the liquid from flowing toward the cigar. Only the aromatic vapors pass through the neck and diffuse into the tube. The cigar remains dry — it is cold infusion by capillarity that does the work, not direct contact with the liquid.
Why doesn't the RITUAL have a hygrometer?
The RITUAL is designed as a short-term infuser (24-72 hours), not as a long-term storage tube. During this period, the cork stopper and the airtight tube maintain an environment stable enough that the cigar does not dry out. A hygrometer would be superfluous for this use. If you are looking for an infuser with integrated humidity control, the TWIN or CALICE are more suitable.
How long can a cigar be left in the RITUAL?
The optimal infusion time is between 24 and 72 hours. Beyond 72 hours, the aroma of the spirit may become too pronounced and mask the cigar's natural notes. The cork stopper ensures a good seal but not a perfect one over very long durations: do not exceed one week. For prolonged storage, transfer your cigar to a humidor or a tube with a hygrometer.
Which cigar formats are compatible?
The RITUAL tube accommodates classic formats: Corona, Robusto, Toro, Churchill, Lancero, Panatela, and most Petit Coronas. Very thick formats (60 ring gauge and beyond) may be too large. Check that your cigar fits through the tube opening before forcing — the hand-blown glass is artisanal, and diameters can vary slightly.
What is the difference between the RITUAL and the TWIN?
The RITUAL is a horizontal single-cigar infuser, without a hygrometer, with an ultra-minimalist design — the most refined object in the collection. The TWIN is a vertical two-tube infuser with two gold-rimmed hygrometers, ideal for comparing two spirits side by side. The RITUAL is for the purist who wants the essence; the TWIN is for the experimenter who wants to compare.
How to clean the RITUAL between two infusions?
Remove the cork stopper. Rinse the tube and the sphere with lukewarm water without detergent — the hand-blown glass does not retain aromas. For the sphere, use a fine brush or a bottle brush if necessary. Let it dry completely in the open air before reusing. The cork stopper can be rinsed briefly and then dried — replace it if it loses its elasticity.
Is the RITUAL a good gift for a cigar enthusiast?
It is an original and striking gift. Its sculptural design — the glass tube, the amber sphere, the crystalline base — makes it an object of curiosity that immediately catches the eye and starts a conversation. Very few enthusiasts know about aromatic infusion, which makes the gift all the more surprising. It is also the most accessible format in the INFUSIO collection — an ideal first step.
