Best thing to do is take a few different cigars that you are familiar with and just try it. It isn't a miracle flavor enhancer, some cigars it helps a little bit, a few it helps a lot, a number of them it might not be noticeable.

At least to me, it seemed to do the most good for the old CC sale cigars from the 99-01 production, and I recall it helping out a few NCs. Unfortunately, I can no longer recall which specific cigars, CC or NC.

Maybe but it might take longer than "a few moments". I think a spray bottle of distilled water is probably the lowest risk.
