To leave wrapper on or off?

[Crickett]

As long as the cigars are properly humidified when you get them, leave the cello on. It protects the cigars from damage.

The downside is that it slows humidifying and drying time for out of balance cigars. It also slows the aging process.

Slowing humidifying can be a good thing for dry cigars. I received some cigars that were a bit dry. I unwrapped a couple to inspect them, and put them all in the humi. Some of the one's I took the cello off got small splits in the wrapper from humidifying to quickly.

Thanks for clearing this up. I'm reading this and thinking he wanted to take off the tobacco wrapper instead of the celophane.
