Cello will never change the taste of the cigar unless there is something ON the cello that would ruin your cigar.

It does sound like the kind of misinformation that Scotty is famous for spreading though.

Leaving the wrapper on can also protect againts two different cigars next to eachother affecting the other's taste. If they are all the same cigars then sometimes it looks nice having them unwrapped, or if they aren't touching eachother but for safety I leave the wrapping on.

The "marrying" of cigars is a myth, Joshua

The exceptation being flavored infused ( Acids/Drew Estates/ Lars ) types which should not even be in the humi with your "regular" cigars.

I beg to differ, and so do many others. Cigars do marry flavors under the right/wrong conditions depending how you see it.

Can you be more specific ?

What makes you think otherwise? Who are the "many others" ?

What conditions do you hint about?

To change my mind ( and many others ) I need to see evidence of "marrying".

People who own the cigar shop I go to (who know shitloads about cigars) and most of the customers (some who have been smoking cigars longer than I have been alive) I have come to know after sitting in the lounge say cigars can marry flavors. I'm not going to argue the point, as others have different opinions.

Oh for cryin' out loud, what is this guy Scotty Jr.? Joshua DO NOT pass yourself off as some kind of "expert" when you have no idea what you are talking about.

As Hugh Jorgan said this "marrying" myth of which you speak is just that a MYTH. Hugh is also correct in that flavored cigars should no be kept anywhere near your real cigars.

Seeing as tobacco is a leaf and it has natural oils in it like any other plant, I don't see how you could totally discount it. It is more subtle of an affect, I give you that. Telling a tobacco tainted with another tobacco is different from say the herbals of an ACID with an unflavored cigar.

Interesting debate, I've heard both sides of the argument before, and have only just begun the process of aging cigars so don't know what the long term effect would be, i have a few OpusX's that i am going to let sit for a year or so before i smoke them that came in cellophane(sp?) and I just left it on....maybe laziness....but more so if they were shipped like that it must be ok (if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality).....sounds like they'll be completely content inside their wrapper....i do have one question though, i got a couple of forbiddenX cigars (from some other comments on this board, i can't wait to smoke them) but they came in tubes. I wanted to keep them in something to protect them, so i left them in the tubes but pulled the cap off the end....should that bey enough? seems like it should be for the same reasons that it's ok to leave cello on....just wondering what anybody else though....thanks for the info

Yes.
