As the title says. I do but a guy I got to talking with a little bit said he never does it. He wraps the cigar and let it sit outside so the wrapper dries out a bit to make the seems look better. What are your thoughts?
After wrapping, do you put the cigar back in the mold press?

It's not normally done. For one thing it can disfigure the connection of the wrapper to the bunch, causing some loosening at the edges. For another, the increased smoothness you get from re-molding might be better achieved with proper wrapper prep and application to the bunch at time of wrapping.
One thing I think it can be fun for is to give your sticks a bit of a box-press. Squeeze it in there, don't put on the top, then rotate it 180 deg and push it back in there and you'll end up with a stick sort of flattened on two sides.

Never. but I do wrap before box pressing so yes, in that sense.
You need to practice proper wrapper prep and, wrapper application.

Does proper wrapper prep mean bringing the leaf to the high case gradually?

Yes. Not doing so gives the wrapper more of a chance of drying during application. Keep your board moist helps.
No. Dampen your wrapper leaf gradually, but don't take it to court... not even to high court.
For one thing, no lawyer worth his salt is going to take that case.
OTOH:
Game changer in my honest opinion! Those who have collections… even those who don’t! A $20 Cooler at most major retailers + 2-3 drying racks. Amazing results. I would say it would benefit if you roll on a daily or semi daily basis.The bag and spitz method I would say is perfect if rolling up a few sticks here and there. Just my $.02
