OK, I just rolled a cigar around in a thin layer of brandi for about 2 minutes. First of all, should I do it for a longer period (the inner area of the cigar feels moist). Also, once I’m done soaking, do I just let it sit out, or will it mildew? Sorry about the stupid questions, but I’ve never tried this before…

Let it sit to dry out a little bit, then make sure it stays humid until you’re ready to smoke it. It shouldn’t mildew. BTW, it flavors better by putting a glass of brandy in a humidor with the cigar for a few days, allowing it to pick up the flavor that way, instead of soaking it.

Is this like soaking a cigar in Monica? Or did you mean brandy? Hehehe
