    Okay, good. The "wrapper" is the name given to the outer tobacco leaf of the cigar in American English, so it was confusing. (Other names are "capo" (Spanish) or "cape" (English)). The cellophane wrapper is just called "cello."

    That the cigars were kept in cello is perfect. Do NOT crack open the cello. The cello will naturally moderate how quickly the cigars can re-humidify - in fact, if the cello ends were reasonably air-tight, then the cello will slow down the re-humidification process so that it will take months.

    The cello also keeps the oils in the tobacco from going anywhere, and preserves the cigars (slows down the aging process), when compared to cigars stored without cello.

    Bear in mind that that is just me being safe, or attempting to. a more experienced BOTL will likely come along and and give you a completely different time frame. In this case, I would take his/her advice over mine.
