Also, to get maximum flavorage, I will soak it for exactly 1 hour. Let's do this ..."

For the full experience you need to smoke it underwater. Just remember to bring a blowtorch.

No no, be sure to soak the foot for at least 5 minutes that will prolong the experience of lighting the sucker

I've never heard of this practice before today. Interesting, but risky! For me at least!

[TJCoro]

Heads Up!

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

...and? Well, after running a 3 year old H. Uppman Connie No. 1 - which I consider a slightly better-than-average puro - under tap water for a few seconds, followed by a light drying off, I must admit it smoked better than usual.

Now, as we all know, there are many attributes, both physical and spiritual, that influence our overall puro enjoyment and yes, the ?placebo effect? may have played a part, but I can say without reservation - it didn?t hurt. Just remember to rinse BEFORE cutting and keep the head pointed norte!
