when storing cigars in your humi should you take of the plastic wrapper?

Cello (not plastic) wrappers. It's a personal preference. Yellow cello is a good thing.

Naked.... helps them age much much better.


If you plan on smoking them in a few months.... really won't make much difference. But about 98% on my stash is naked.... the way I like my women...

BTW.... it always looks like plastic to me too...

Interesting question, I'd never heard this one before.

Hmmmm...I've never found a cigar with a plastic wrapper. Corojo, maduro, Connecticut, rosado, but never plastic. Intriguing, but would probably taste kind of funny I think...there may be health risks also. I'd probably take it off and just smoke it with the binder on instead!

Cello is a porous material made of wood that allows air and moisture to pass through. Cello does not hinder the aging of your cigars. Neither does the cello wrapping around your box or bundle of cigars. It is entirely up to you whether you want to store your cigars 'en cello' or not.

I disagree and have always disagreed with SteveR on this issue.

NINE!!!

Cello on!

Violin off.

Now this is the kind of insightful and thought provoking question that is often very lacking on this Forum. Well Done !

Steve-\"Neither does the cello wrapping around your box or bundle of cigars\"

This is the part I\'m skeptical of. Does this not affect aging OR RH?

fishinguitarman - This is how they are stored at the factory, after they are boxed. This is how they are stored here at our warehouse. The factory wouldn't store them in this fashion, nor would we, if it hindered the aging process or humidity levels.

I could tell that Mazo's were wrapped in cello, but I never was sure about the boxes. I always thought that was shrink-wrap.

CI samplers (ie: Felipe Gregorio Super Premium Mega Sampler) are also cello'd? (that's some heavy-azz cello...)

Thanks Steve........

and the debate rages on.........

Tastes great!





Less filling!

Frankly, I'm surprised this question has never come up before,







not in 3 days anyway 😉

One point of interest to add to the discussion, Cuban hand made cigars are NEVER wrapped in cello, their all nude. Why is this?

I tend to put mine in cello if shipping them because I hate to see 'em get damaged, and more often then not, in my experience singles left unwrapped seem to end up with damage of some sort or another when shipped (and it always seems to happen to the expensive ones dog gonnit!).

^ ain't that the truth! The cheapest or least desired cigar you send always seems to incur the least ammount of dammage durring shipping.
