I'm with Palama - yes to both wrapper AND cello (which I'm assuming you meant when you asked about wrappers since I doubt you want to disassemble your cigars) in the humidor. As for cello - I keep it on mainly to keep the differnt cigar flavors from "bleeding" into each other. Also - keeping the cellophane on helps to protect your cigars to a degree from possible damage while being stored.

Another thing to consider is 'yellow cello'. When your cigars sit and age long enough the oils and sugars in the tobacco will rise to the top and actually STAIN the cellophane (which CAN take several months). When you see this you know that your cigar is at its prime. Next time you go to a cigar bar - ask if they have a yellow cello of whatever you're looking to smoke. Depending on the cigar you're looking for and the level of turnover at the bar they may not have one. But if they do - its certainly worth asking for.

Also - keeping the cello on creates a mini-climate arround each cigar indivudally. So if you're going to be travelling and taking some sticks with you - the cello will help keep the humidity in and slow them from drying out before the end of your trip.

Finally - in my opinion my cigars just seem to taste better after aging with the cellophane still on. Probably goes back to the whole mini-climate thing and keeping the flavors in. Though I could just be imagining that.

I will admit that I DO have a coolidor with @ 500 cigars in it so all of these things can be an issue for me as I rotate and age my cigars. Now - if I had a 50 count desktop humidor and only kept one brand/model in it that I knew would be smoked reasonably quickly - then I MAY consider removing the cello.

Hit that sh*t raw... no wrapper...

If you knock it up... well, hopefully you didn't leave your name and number.

With what specifically that I said do you take exception? And what would YOUR brilliant advice be? Or are you just here to troll?

Perhaps he should consider Pepto rather than trolling.

I just noticed the guy's name was savedsoul...

I guess that's bad advice for...

Keep the wrapper on... definitely keep it on.

My apologies, you should probably leave your name and number too.

Again, bad advice for a recently saved one... I mean, you just got in! (congrats by the way) and here I am, trying sit on your shoulder... and entice you to enjoy the finer things in life...

If I was a better man, I would give myself 20 lashes for that... but I'm not, so...

Wrapper on.

Isn't that the point of the whole test from G-d? You have an angel on one shoulder telling you to keep the wrapper on and leave your phone number .... then there's YOU sitting on the other shoulder. Since G-d gave him free will - he can choose to keep his soul clean or not. But there is always redemption available (and I'm not just talking about the bourbon! lol).
