Kinda interesting way. But I agree with Paladin2000, mental torture is better, and also not so messy.
According to most, the worst way of torturing is sensorial deprivation.
You bandage your victim like a mummy, using waterproof linen.
Then you put him/her in warm water, to mantain temperature, leaving out only nose and mouth, to allow breathing.
Afterwards you blindfold him/her, so that he/she is allowed only to see a dim light, which must never change.
Tie the victim so that he can't move, fill the room with a soft but steady hum.
This way his/her senses become useless, since they report always the same temperature/feeling/light/whatever.
He/she will simply go mad. No way to resist, and the more intelligent one is, the worse this is, since intelligence goes with a lot of sensorial input.
The brain, without a significant flow of info, goes berserk: hallucinations, fear, minutes that seem hours. Terrible.
