It's not actually dipped. The leaf is infused via the ventilation system and the leaf absorbs the flavor.

For me, I'd have to say the mystery Cubans I'd buy in Korea. Who knows if they were real (this was 2001), but they were good. Later when I got back into cigars it was probably the HdM Excalibur 1066.
