I was wondering if I should store my cigars with that plastic stuff on or off them?

LTNS John Boy....Merry Christmas Brutha 🌫

LoL. Merry Christmas to everybody here. It’s been to long old friend.

Well, every ceegar connoisseur knows that them there white owl pine-apples don't smoke all too good with the plastic on.

Lots of other good uses for it though.

We been missing you at the circle K too. Since you stopped coming in, we can't sell enough honey buns to make the quota. Had to drop them.

Ever hear from WT? That sly boy ran off with seestor and we an't never seen him nor the wildebeest since.

Yes! Really adds flavor!

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

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.

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

I thought you just wrap them up in a moist paper towel

How did you get a picture of my twin brother for your avatar?

fn hombre...dude disappears for a few years and then comes back and [chef]


welcome back, Bro.

Waaaay too much work ... don't even bother to take the cello off ... store 'em with it on, then light 'em with the cello on ... far simpler and makes for a colorful flame

Ya you are right. then take an ICE PICK and jam it deep into your right eye socket 5 times. Make that only 3 times to save time. TIME is NEVER a matter when it comes to storing your stogies properly for aging. Cigars without cello on or open marry and age much better. It's a FACT of life! My Great Uncle Ned, who I never met, told me so!!!!

🇨🇮

You just wanted an excuse to marry your uncle....

it's not a fact ...

what IS a fact is that with the cello on, there is a bit of protection against nicking the wrapper ... which means, that if you're going to be transporting those aged cigars before smoking them, it's not a bad idea to leave the cello on ... but the cello simply isn't a factor in the aging or humidification process and THAT'S the fact

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. 👍

ya it is factor. They age better with the cello open or off. As soon as you LEARN how to read you can go on line and check it out like I did. And if you do what i said and just cut off the closed end the cello is STILL ON! And who is talking about transporting cigars???? You're like a LIBERAL. You add totally off the wall shat to try and make your point because you know you are wrong. 😳 😳 😳

"albeit slowly" ya if you want to let them sit for YEARS!!! Like twice a long. VERY SLOWLY!! You open both ends up and they marry nicely in 5 or 6 months as opposed to years.

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?! 😗

a joke sure got stupid fast
