When I open a new deck of cards. I spread through the cards to inspect the pips and faces. Next, I dribble and fan the cards. Followed by flourishes that retain the order of the deck.

Exactly what I do, but instead of flourishes I do about 16 perfect faros.

Throw away the top two cards (the advertisements), and store the bottom two cards (the jokers).

I then do a thumb fan, some false shuffles and flourishes, and then soak them in water for about 20 minutes. I find that it helps to keep the cards from overdrying. ;)

Lawl Water... Nice!
 
I honestly love the smell of new cards. I usually bust out a Carnahan Fan first thing, because they look the best with new cards, then I usually dribble them face up. I find most decks don't want to "agree" with face down dribbles until I shuffle them a bit.

I attempt some random flourish and then drop half the cards and try to fix the corners that got bent and smudged :{
