First post: how to properly hydrate leafs?

[Tommmmm]

Hello everyone!
It’s my first post here! And I just start to roll my cigars, got few questions. Hope you guys could help me with it

How do you properly hydrate your leafs?
How do you guys store your leafs?
What to do after I roll one to make it smokable?

Thank you all!

I'm not a cigar but a cigarette smoker and not as experienced as many here, but i personally store my leaves very dry in a large zip-lock bag and when i need to shred them i put them in a 20 gallon tub and mist them with one of those hand pump garden sprayer/misters

I live in the UK where it rains practically every day, to bring my leaves into case I only have to spread them out on the workbench in my garage for a couple of days.

Age it for as long as your patience can hold out.
