the "restoration" of a cigar?

[The Poet]

I'll not comment on the "morality" issue, but on the "recovery" one I did once hear a shock treatment trick I've tried a time or three. Namely, take the crispy cigars with you into the bathroom when you take a hot shower, which allows the high humidity to treat the dried-out sticks.

It also works for taking the wrinkles out of your thousand-dollar Ermenengildo Zegna suits.
