Something to do at home.

[El Presidente]

With that next Cuban cigar that is plugged, remove the binder and set it aside.

Put it in your hand and progressively add a few drops of water.....squeeze...do it again...squeeze. ball it in your fist,  it should be moist...not wet. 

Now unwrap it and stretch it out.

What do you see?

What one sees? - A guy with a destroyed cigar and two creased wet binder (half-) leaves who wonders - what the .... ?!!!

[El Presidente]

I will shoot a vid when I am back. 

If you do this properly, that gnarly dry binder becomes supremely pliable. You can stretch it like you can stretch a high quality wrapper. 

Why?
