America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

No word from WT or Corky but good to see his Bruddah is still here. I will try and reach out to Corky.

WT told me to tell ya he doesn't give a shyt how ya store them anymore. LOL

push your sticks to the open end of the cello and clip off the closed end and store them. Open at both end where it matters while protecting the wrapper oils! works great for aging.

The cellophane wrappers on cigars are permeable, allowing oxygen to pass from the inside of your humidor to your cigars. Air and humidity will pass through the wrapper membrane, albeit slowly, since the cello is preventing direct contact with the cedar lining. In any case, your individual cigars will continue to age, but the process will take a little longer than cigars kept in the nude.

It is worth it in my opinion to keep it on. The cigar will still age and get the humidity needed. Plus greatly added protection VS Nude yes it will age a little faster but exposed to greater chances possibile of damage.

SteveS hit it right on the head.

If you leave the cello on and cut off the closed end you can store different wrapper types together. If you take the cello off completely you should never store different cigars together. Push the f***ing cigar to the open end and clip off the closed end you filthy animals!

"When you store large quantities of identical cigars, you can take the cello off and allow the cigars to “marry”. Marrying occurs when a group of identical cigars mix and blend over time picking up each other’s essential oils, flavors and aromas"

"BENEFITS OF TAKING IT OFF
The biggest benefit from removing the cellophane is aging and resting. The fresh air can get to the cigar faster and release the chemicals quicker and allow the cigar to “marry” or allow the flavors of all the tobaccos used in that single cigar to meld together. This will also cut the resting time needed in your humidor to be ready to smoke ROTT (right off the truck). When talking about long-term aging, you will see the benefits a lot quicker with the cellophane removed because again, there is much more exchange of air when it doesn’t have to go through a layer of cellophane, allowing the aging process and further fermentation to happen faster. But remember, it still takes a few years to have a properly “aged” cigar."


"People often brag of their aged cello wrappers, showing the cigar has been sitting for quite some time. What they don’t realize is, this isn’t necessarily a good thing. For an aged cigar, this basically tells us you’ve been suffocating your stogie for years! As we mentioned, cigars are continuously fermenting; as they ferment, they emit ammonia (walk into a manufacturer’s aging/fermenting room and this will become more than apparent—you may be spinning after a few minutes…) and as you can imagine, ammonia isn’t a desired quality in a healthy cigar. Back to the cello—that aged and brown/yellow cellophane wrapper has absorbed quite a bit of ammonia from the cigar (as well as nicotine, oils, and a few other compounds), causing the brownish color. As your aging cigar expells ammonia from its fermenting tobacco, it becomes trapped in the cello and basically reabsorbs into the cigar—this is not optimal…"

SEE HOW easy THIS WAS?! quot;

No, I think Row of Digits just takes off the cap, then uses his X4 Smiley Cutter by Xikar that he got in one of them overbid deals. Then he just cuts the other end off the glass because that cutter is all that and a bag of chips.
