Ladies and Gentelemen,

The past two years, Cbidders have been my main contributors for the Polar Plunge benefitting Special Olympics. Last year we broke a fundraising record and we're hoping to do the same this year. In less than two weeks I'll be jumping into a pool with a dozen or so fellow Brentwood Police Officers in the parking lot of LP Field (where tne TN Titans "play"). The rules for this giveaway are simple...

For every $25 you donate your name is entered into a drawing to win some decent smokes. $25 gets 1 entry, $50 gets 2 entries, $100 gets 4, and so on. The winner will be drawn from a hat and the cigars, along with a few bonus gifts, will be mailed ASAP. Be sure to include your handle so I know who to contact at the conclusion of the contest.

Many of these cigars have spent 8-10 years in my humi. The reason...a wife, two kids, and a job and a half. Giving away these cigars and raising money for Special Olympics is better than Christmas for me. I appreciate your generosity and support. Here is the link to donate...

Many thanks and good luck,
Jim

Cellophane breaths, it allows the cigar to age while also protecting it. Damn noob!

When aging cigars in a humidor, remove any cellophane, tubes, packaging, etc. from the cigar experts at Cbid and others

as edin said, the cellophane wrapper breathes

the Cello does slow down the aging process but does not hinder it. I have some wonderfully plumed Olivas that have aged for 5+ years in their cello

a quick check will tell you the cellophane is for keeping air out, let me rap your head with cellophane and we can all watch you try to breath.

You know, I was going to rip you apart for being a dumbazz, and not recognizing that you are arguing with people who have been aging cigars for a long time(instead of you who has "read about it"). But I realized, this thread is not the place for this discussion. As for "experts" at cbid, not many around I would listen to more my self than the general. He's a pretty smart guy. . .


Sorry for the rant. Back to the topic. Great looking sticks for a great cause. Lets set a new record this year CBID!!!

ya I know miss spelled the word maybe...as for cellophane it is on the cigar to keep airborne particles away from the cigar while in transit and traps gases inside that deteriorate tobaccos, like many other things tobaccos need air bring out the full flavor that the roller fantasized about when rolling the stick. thats why you remove the cellophane to begin the aging of the tobaccos and bring forth the full sentiments of flavor. as for what you say general, never met a general that new anything about anything but saving their own skin.

Show me 1 legitimate source to the crap you're spewing. You've already been shown several.

No maybe about it, you are not nearly as intelligent as you think you are. Glad you have such respect for the men who have served our country.

I've got plenty of cigars that I have aged in cellophane that taste wonderful and are full of flavor.


Now, quit being rude, go back to your hole, and allow this thread to return to the original topic, which is a great cause.

So this is a quote from the first link I clicked on :

" The lining should be cedar – cedar wood is a highly aromatic wood, full of its own oils. With the passage of time, the interaction of the tobacco oils internal and with the cedar of the wood leads to a mellowing and blending of flavors. "


Go ahead and store your cigars in cedar. You should follow this advise exactly. As they know exactly what they are talking about [frypan] [frypan]

Love the 70/70 advise as well#-o But it doesn't say anything about cello. . .



Oh and thank you for your service. Anyone who has protected my freedom deserves gratitude.
