Wetting a cigar

[markem]

So, I tried the wetting technique with a Monte 4 that had a crinkly wrapper. I also used a punch as those have been growing on me this winter.

The result was quite good. Could taste the wrapper a little bit more.

I don't do 5 seconds and I immediately wrap my cigar in a non-scented tissue, but otherwise it was basically the same as Jason describes.

thats awesome Mark! I tried it with a new cigar and the results were as expected. nothing much happened flavor wise but a dryer cigar it really helps bring them back. Ive heard that cigars from the factory taste different from the cigars in the store and they think part of that is the loss of moisture so i'm glad it helped you out! God bless you brother!

I just wet another dry cigar and i'm really impressed with the results. not only does the cigar taste great but it's burning so evenly now. who knew? pretty neat stuff. God bless you all!
