Has anyone else heard of or done this? I was having a look on the forum sponsors Twitter feed today and someone posted a link to an article which discussed the merits of soaking your cigar in water before smoking. Supposedly there are benefits to be had from holding it under a running tap of cold water for 6-7 seconds. It goes on to say only the wrapper should make contact (and it will protect the rest of the cigar from getting wet), otherwise the cigar will be ruined (obviously). It's meant to improve the flavour apparently. Sounds totally bonkers! I don't think I'd try but wondered if anyone else had?

Bill Clinton liked to moisten his cigars apparently

Why ruin a good cigar bad enough when they are over humidified.
Bloke that said that must be a bit

There are plenty of guys on here who will testify that quickly running a Jose le Piedra under the tap makes it taste chocolatey'Cigars are a hobby, cigarettes an addiction'Comment

I was walking through Mayfair last year, this old boy was "choosing down" on his stoogie something written... Proper chewing the hell out of it. Looked like. RYJ Churchill....
When he took it out of his mouth to relight, it was beyond soggy....
He looked delighted!!!

I have a friend that swears that wetting the tip of the cigar in whisky or cognac is a beautiful thing. I've tried telling him otherwise, but I didn't have a lot of success...

Mo and I heard about this a while back. Both very sceptical.....
Mo sacrificed a JLP to the cause and shockingly confirmed it completely changed the cigar by bringing out pleasant flavours that weren't there before.
not sure I would do it with a pricy stick though.Licky Licky before Sticky Sticky. - Puff Scotty 22/03/14

Seen this article the other day, I think only worth trying with a cheaper stick, maybe improve flavour and make the cheap stick more enjoyable...
