Cigar infusement

Abstract

Systems and methods for applying compounds, including cannabis metabolites, to plant materials and plant products are provided. Various solvents may be used to dissolve relatively pure cannabis isolates as part of the process. An immersion, a spray, and an injection method may be used to apply cannabinoids, terpenes, and other products to the plant materials and plant products.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A method for infusing a plant product with one or more compounds, the method comprising:
 integrating a solvent with at least one cannabis metabolite to create an infusing solution; and   applying the infusing solution to the plant product.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein applying the infusing solution comprises:
 spraying the plant product with the infusing solution.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plant product is a pre-rolled cigar. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein applying the infusing solution comprises:
 injecting the pre-rolled cigar through a cut end of the cigar with the infusing solution.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the injecting operation comprises:
 using a syringe of less than 27 gauge.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the plant product is a tobacco leaf. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the tobacco leaf is fermented. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the cannabis metabolite is at least one selected from the group consisting of: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), 49-Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabichromene (CBG), Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabichromenic acid (CBCA). 
     
     
         9 . A method for infusing a tobacco leaf with a compound, the method comprising:
 providing solvent, wherein the solvent is at least one of acetone, benzyl alcohol, 1,3-Butylene Glycol, castor oil, citric acid, ethyl acetate, glycerol, glyceryl diacetate, glyceryl triacetate, hexane, isopropanol, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, methylene chloride, monoglycerides, diglycerides, 1,2-propanediol, triethyl citrate, ethanol, or propylene glycol mono-esters;   selecting at least one cannabis metabolite, where the at least one cannabis metabolite is one or more of tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, cannabichromene, cannabigerol, cannabinol, as α-bisabolol, linalool, α-humulene, β-caryophyllene, (+)-limonene, myrcene, α-pinene, α-β-pinene, or terpinolene;   combining the at least one cannabis metabolite with the solvent to form a cannabis-infusing solution;   applying the cannabis-infusing solution to a plant product or a plant material; and   drying the plant product or the plant material.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the cannabis-infusing solution is applied to a cigar having a cut end, a butt end, and a length. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein applying the cannabis-infusing solution comprises:
 injecting, through the cut end of the cigar, the cannabis-infusing solution.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the injecting operation occurs by inserting a syringe having a tip through the cut end so that the tip of the syringe is near a butt-end injection point, wherein the butt-end injection point is about ⅓ of the length of the cigar away from the butt end of the cigar.
