If I store my cigars in my humidor with the wrapper on, how does the moisture get through the non-permeable palstic?

type in "cello on or off" or cello in the search box.

Take your cheapest cigar with cellophane on (a dog rocket would be good) out of your humi. Put a drop of water on it and watch what happens.

Then you can tell us! 🙂

Cello is a porous material that's made of wood. Moisture can pass through it.

it doesn't matter if you leave it on or take it off.

but if you start trading your cigars like everyone else, you should leave it on, it helps to protect the cigars when traveling.

The technichal answer is the cello is a (differentially permiable membrane). I've been waiting since 7th grade to say that: and that was a loooong time ago.THANK YOU!

lsfire ... this SHOULD clear up any and all confusion ...

The cello is not, as others have said, impermeable ... it's a porous material ... although it DOES serve to deter moisture from leaving, it's principal function is to protect the wrapper from being damaged ... that said, it can also damage the wrappers of non-celloed cigars in your humi, so it's generally better to store celloed cigars and unclelloed cigar seperately to the extent possible ...

I used to be a BIG believer in cello off, but have come to the realization that in terms of maintenance, cello-on or cello-off makes no real difference ... so, I now leave it on because it's less work and as mentioned, it DOES protect the wrappers of the cigars it's on ...

yes, you did ... which, as I said, is NOT impermiable ... my comments were not intended to be a response to yours, but to clarify the question in greater detail ... you and I are saying the same thing but in a different way
