Would Bucanero age better with cello on?

JUST KIDDING!!!
I did finally get to try the Bucanero brand. Had one yesterday and one today. They were both El Capitan Maduro, one was a Torpedo.
They were way better than what I expected. I truly enjoyed them and thank the folks who gifted them to me.
The taste was perfect for an afternoon smoke, they burned almost perfect (surprised) and one remained lit even after a seven minute long rest (one puff & back in business).
So, I can see which side of the fence I will be on; ARRRRrrrrrrrrggggggg!
Look forward to trying the other lines of Bucanero.

Fatshotbud - Run - Don't Walk Away - Now! Or else you will suffer the same fate of the rest of us...

I agree with your assesment - a Great Cigar!

Side Note: Cello Off! I say Party Naked!

Aaarrrggghhh!! I'm also a new fan of Bucanero's. So far the "Peg Leg" is my favorite.

I keep the cello on. In my opinion and experience, it really doesnt matter. I have noticed less flaking or minor damage when handling cigars in cello.

Also some of the best smokes I've had came out of cello wraps that were very yellow.

I was strictly cello off for a long, long time, but after leaving it on a few cigars that I didn't take the time to remove it, I found that it just doesn't matter much ... a very little difference in short term humidifying, virtually none in the long term ... since the cello WILL offer some protection to the wrapper as Mag noted, I tend to leave it on now ...

I find, however, it's still best to take the cello off before lighting the cigar ...

Conspiracy, Conspiracy, Conspiracy - Will the real SteveS please stand up.

I know that I have been gone for a while but I never thought that I would hear SteveS say that! Wow!

Change is really the only constant!

Rempoving the cello before lighting the cigar is a real must do, except it might add some excitement to a Lone Wolf! I am sure it would improve the taste of such a POS.

Fatshotbud --- there are only three el Capitan's in the line. Two are Maduro --- the el Capitan Reserva Peg leg (short Belicoso- 5 x 54) and the el Capitan Maduro Reserva Maduro (which is the 6 x 50) ...

... those must be the two you had, and they are in the top three of all their lines!

Magnafide --- FYI ... the Full Sail, Peg Leg and el Capitan Maduro all come in boxes 'without' cellophane ...

Thanks Slimboli,
So the shorter one I was calling a torpedo is the Peg Leg - the measurements matchup. Now my e-book will read correctly.

And yes, the "Cello" in the subject line was to draw fire - LOL.

I would smoke a lot more of these, if (YANKED) weren't charter member of Green Peace ramming ships in International waters...

I didnt mean "cello on" with Bucs specifically, but with cigars in general that do have cello. Slim gave me my Bucs... ;>)
