Anyone wetting their cigars before smoking?

[AUguy]

I know it sounds crazy but my brother read about it somewhere and tried it last week. He swears by it now. From what I understand you run a small stream of tap water over everything but the foot just to get the wrapper slightly damp. He swears it eliminates uneven burns and brings out the flavor. This is supposed to work really well with cigars with several years of age when the wrapper gets flakey.

If anyone else told me this I would call BS but I trust my brother. As soon as my sinuses stop acting up I'm goin to give this a try.
