Cigar under the faucet?!?!

[kit_luce]

Tried the thing, so far I'm happy with the results

Did wonders for the flavors on this one!

It looks like everyone is confirming this works well so I had to try this out. Tried it on a cheap Chillin Moose tonight, the burn was perfect all the way to the nub.

Gave the faucet method a shot and am pleasantly surprised. Seem to smooth out the rough edges. Not a bad trick

Used it on a La Imperiosa tonight, really tasting great!

 

[EL Corojo]

So I used it on a Casa Fernandez New Cuba; my theory is that mixed filler cigars become too busy after wetting. The unwet New Cuba is a much tastier smoke because the flavors are less busy and “in your face.”

 

[EL Corojo]

The unwet version is delicious

So it really upped the complexity and sourdough/baking spices on this Super Partagas!

Really made this Lirio Rojo shine!!!!

It's weird seeing someone with that accent wearing a Red Sox shirt.

I am not participating is drowning cigars... mickey linked this, I just had to see the madness for myself. If you wanted a scientific approach, you'd need to smoke two of the same cigar side by side at the same time to get a proper comparison to.

Seemed like a pretty legit comparison to me. You've got plenty of people in this thread saying there's something to it, but if you choose to think of it as "drowning cigars" then that's your right. I mean, there are still people who believe the Earth is flat. You can believe whatever you want these days.

you'd also have to compare different types of water... distilled, tap from different locations, spring water.... etc etc, someone start a science fair project

Issues....
1. They note at the beginning they let the cigar dry for a week, so its out of the humidor and a "solution" for dried out cigars, not cigars that are properly maintained.
2. They only smoked the first third from a properly maintained, dried out, dried out & wetted stick
3. no side by side smoking comparison

ok, show us how it's done !!
I agree I would have liked to see a properly maintained cigar wetted and reviewed in this video.

obviously the only correct answer is Perrier sparkling water.
