Best Cigar Storage

I Just Purchased A Humidor And Am Not Sure The Best Way To Store My Cigars. Should I Leave The Plastic On Each Cigar Or Store Them Bare? Thanks For The Help, Im Learning As I Smoke

THANK YOU KIND SIR, THAT WAS WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW :smiley20:

Yep, SKEETER, that's a common question on every cigar board out there. I like keeping it ON because it protects the cigar from damage. It does not affect the cigar in the humidor because the cello is NOT airtight and the cigar will match the RH of the humi eventually. It doesn't take as long as you'd think even with the cello on :smiley20:

cello off.......cello on.......... :smiley36:

Off....... On........ It's all good.........

I like to open my humidor and see all my cigars naked.

LOL... I think most of us know of your affinity for nudity of all sorts... :smiley37:

Personally... I tend to take the cello's off unless I've got several of the same cigar, then I do half off and keep the other half on in case I trade/bomb some out.

in your box

I keep mine wrapped. Prefer to unwrap them when I move them from bulk cooler ( search: coolidor) to my desktop humidor. I'll keep them wrapped in Desktop when cbid or PIF delivers. Once they are in the Humidor they have short life expectancy. And if they make it to the travel humidor well they are practically on fire. :smiley15:

I always keep them wrapped when they inside the coolidor. Once they are transported to the humidor, I take the wrapper off. I keep the wrapper though. I have one of my empty boxes of cigars filled with wrappers. If I want to transport them anywhere, they get put back into a wrapper. Just to protect them a little more.

I keep mine in the cello. I've heard if there's a pox in my humidor (mold, beetles, etc.), the cello will offer a little extra protection (just like a cigar condom). Since aethetics isn't that big a deal to me, I'll take a little extra security...

On.

I'm certain that leaving them on has (on more than one occasion) prevented me from damaging the cigars.
