Just received a shipment from C-bid, I opened the package to transfer the Five packs to my various humidors. I noticed two things that struck me as odd, and one was down right disturbing.

First was a fiver of My Father cigars wrapped in in cello but packaged in plastic shrink type wrap. The cigars can’t breathe properly like this and the chance of mold increases. These are now quarantined buy themselves, fitting I guess with the virus going around.

Second is the La Reloba Select Oscuro were a smoke from another online retailer that was just relabeled. It was clearly obvious as you can see the old label through the C-Bid label.

Anyone else have any issues like this or similar issues?

Plastic shrink wrap on fivers and samplers is very common. This is usually factory packaging, and I've never had a problem with any cigars packed this way. The company that owns Cbid has acquired several other retailers (recently the big one in Florida), so the relabeling should be no surprise.

Cigar storage isn’t rocket science. I simply cut slits in between the cigars to allow them to breathe. And then they go down for a l-o-n-g nap. If you can’t wait months or years then take them out of the shrink wrap. Some will suggest taking the cello off too so you could do that to help accelerate their “aging.”

I thought having them sealed in shrink wrap helped the aging process.

If the cigars come shrink wrapped, I typically leave them alone (...after slitting...) ‘cause it’s easier to handle them. But, since I don’t expect to smoke any of them for at least a year or two, they’re buried deep and oftentimes forgotten.
