it sounds a bit risky to be, i'd end up with a limpo stick no doubt!!

whats the score with people dipping in drinks as well? i don't understand how it would still light? in 'The havana' documentary it was said churchill used to dip his into brandy or cognac...wouldn't it just go up in flames!!?..like a Christmas pudding

He only dipped the head of the stick not the whole thing.

Yeah I dabble with the practise, it can knock the elbows off a young cigar.
Add some flexibility to an old fragile wrapper.
Not something I do with my regular rotation smokes but for stuff either side of that, case by case I do.

I tried it a few weeks back on a couple of cigars - I sprayed them with distilled water, wipe down and left them to rest for 24 hours in zip lock bags, before torching them. It does make a difference, in that the cigars produced more smoke, and the flavour profile is slightly more intense, but the practise constantly seemed to bring out a slight bitterness to the aftertaste - which was consistent. Would I do it again? probably not

Is it not like smoking in the rain?

What?s the point.... your cigars smoke fine just the way they are don?t they...

Done it. Waste of a cigar. Never again. Rip. Never forget. [emoji23]

Theres a guy on youtube who only seems to smoke 50 year old unicorns like a 1970s dip6 and he wets every time. It makes me feel light headed just watching him!

I tried it with a Bolivar Corona Gigantes a few weeks back. It was a bit drier than it should have been and I thought I'd give the tap trick a go. It smoked fine... I cant say whether it was better as I don't know how it would have smoked without it going under the tap but there were no downsides.

And..... ? Or are you still trying to light it?

Evening lads!

I?ve been aware of this practice for sometime now and decided to give it a go for the first time tonight. Of course, I?m talkin? about the oft ridiculed practice of rinsing a puro under the tap for a few seconds before smoking.

Crazy, right!?


Anyone else ever try this?
