Imo the drying time is way less if u just drink the brandy and smoke the cigar.

1. I know nothing about soaking cigars in brandy.
2. Brandy is 35 to 65% ethanol, with the remainder water.
3. If you allow them to dry on their own, most of the ethanol will evaporate before the water evaporates, leaving you with soggy cigars that invite mold growth.
4. I would suggest placing them on a clean cookie sheet, and placing that into an oven set to "warm", rotating the cigars periodically, until they feel quite dry.
5. Once they have returned to room temperature, check their moisture again (are they squishy?) and return them to the oven for more time if needed.
6. Do let us know how they turn out.

I have one humidor I exclusively use rum instead of water as the humidifying agent.

I would try soaking the individual leaves first, then drying them down to roll the cigar.
