Should I unwrap the cigars before putting them in my Humidor thanks lgbpete

Here we go again,LOL. X

I would at least take the bows and the ribbons off. If you leave the wrapping paper on, you can give aged cigars for Christmas next year, LOL.

Welcome,

Barry

Leave it on.

take it off

just to give you another opinion

Try this:

Take the cello off every other cigar in the box. Take careful notes as you smoke them and give us all a report when finished.

DED

That's simply brilliant deadeydick. Simply brilliant. 🙂

Welcome aboard

go back amout two pages, there is an nice article on cell off or cello on,

ah, the cello question revisited yet again and so soon !!

Yo Yo Ma or Pablo Casals ?? ... the debate rages on

Steve - I still haven't found my Duncan Imperial Yo-Yo.

Newbie - the advice on using the search function here is good advice indeed -- while you are searching for cello on vs cello off - take a moment to look up "building a collerdor" -- I bet that will become a project in your near future.

Some cigars are more modest than others. The especially modest ones are wrapped in tissue and should only be smoked in the dark.

Yo lgbpete: Now I have a dilemma, should I answer your question with my clothes on or should I answer your question with my clothes off...hmmmm I'll have to get back to you later... Hmmmmm clothes on or clothes off hmmmmmm. JonR

Clothes on, please.

:-)

I don't even break open all the bundles before they go into the coolerdor. (I will eventually, I'm a newbie and but right now I have more bundles than empty cigar boxes to put them into.) The cello may slow aging a bit, but it's actually fairly porous and will let both air and moisture (water vapor) pass through.

If you like your cigars totally nude, that's fine; just don't handle them any more than absolutely necessary. I generally just leave them the way I get them; I don't take cello off wrapped cigars, I don't put it on cigars that don't already have it. Check with me in a couple of years and maybe I can tell you if I notice any difference in the way the cigars age.

Thanks all, I can see that I am going to have fun asking dumb questions, but thats the only way to learn. JonR, I am typing this with my clothes off and it didnt take me long to see I must now try smoking with no clothes, thanks for your time lgbpete

Yo lgbpete: The only dumb question is the one you don't ask. OBTW while smoking nude be very careful with your ashes especially while smoking in the sitting position, LOL JonR

ummm Yo-Yo Ma? did I win?
