Cigar under the faucet?!?!

[VeLoRoK]

I'm impressed that Chuck have it a go. Kudos! Aside from the burn, did you notice any change in flavor profile?

 

[VeLoRoK]

TBH this interested me as there have been a few cigars that I've had that tasted way, way better when they were humidified beyond my 65% setup, most noticeably the Crowned Heads Le Careme that I smoked at a B&M. I'm going to give this a shot to see if I can recreate the flavor profile at home (although that would require buying more which I don't really want to do).

Ok, I’ll use another phrase instead.

Better?

Nope try again

I hate this cigar ... I’ve tried 3 so far of the line and they were all garbage. The first half of this one was somewhat enjoyable tho. But when I got halfway down it went back to the same earthy disgusting blend.

I’m going to try it with two cigars that I think are more consistent and then see if it’s worth doing often

Dope! I'm going to give it a try tonight. Not sure on what, though. Maybe a GR88 since it's Warped Wednesday!

Tried it with this guy, a little increase of the sweetness and an improvement in the burn. I approve!

i thought this was a troll thread lol. I may give this a try...

Ok, I had to try this! Here goes

I’ll be trying this again. Great burn, flavors seemed to come out sooner. I’m curious if it was a fluke or if it’s the water

 

[Boudie]

Be careful, you're going to wash off all that plume!

Good point. I’ll wet a few, smoke one and put the rest back. Help grow some more “plume”

 

[Opie]

Here we go again!

 

[EL Corojo]

So I tried it

The wrapper feels really nice and soft, it is completely dry now. The flavors seem to be more distinct, like they "pop" more. The burn and ash are beautiful.

I'm smoking a Las Calaveras 17 (which I have not liked at all in the past) and I'm really enjoying it after the faucet treatment. And I specifically love how the ash looks after the faucet trick. Makes every cigar burn like an Olivia Melanio.

I just did it again with a Petrus Oscuro Robusto, it has the burn started a bit uneven but is quickly fixing itself. It has made the flavors really stand out for this one as well. The ash is really nice! It usually flakes with this one, but it is perfect!

Usually I lightly roll the cigar in a paper towel first to absorb any excess moisture. Lighting up a cigar that’s wet to the touch is just weird. But it works well, specifically on vintage sticks or those with more brittle wrappers.

I don’t do it often though. Even though I’ve had decent results, it’s just weird.
