But I have to ask...

Where in the world did you hear to do something silly like that in the first place?

Why would you even expect that dipping a bunch of very tightly bound wrinkled up dead leaves in water would cause them to magically shift positions for a miraculous draw?

At best it won't change anything because nothing has been done to resolve the source of the problem, which is either too much or poorly placed tobacco. Wetting and drying will do nothing to alleviate this.

A few posts back in this same thread (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpo...postcount=1728).

Soak cigar in cold water for a few seconds. Put immediately in fridge for about a week. The point is to prevent mold & ammonia; fridge takes out the water pretty well. Once completely dry, put in humidor and wait a few weeks until humid and normalized.

Figure, if the cigars are known to be tight, what is the risk? Would love to hear if anybody has tried this.
