To leave wrapper on or off?

[Hugh Jorgan]

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.

In that case, the earth is flat!

Q: I own a large humidor that holds almost 200 cigars. Unlike some humidors, mine lacks dividers. I routinely mix different brands together. Will this result in an unfavorable marrying of the flavors, or simply enhance the cigars as they age?

A: If you keep cigars with different types of tobaccos and pronounced flavor differences, and they are stored together so that they touch each other, they will acquire each others' flavors. In most cases, this is not desirable. At the very least, you end up with cigars that all taste the same.

Oh and look at the question right under it:

Q: I have a 1,500-cigar humidor cabinet. I have about 17 boxes of cigars in the bottom of the cabinet. Do I take the ci-gars out of the cellophane and put them back in their boxes to age?

Greg Cosnotti

A: Yes, it would be a good idea to remove the cellophane. Cellophane does two things: it seals in the natural humidity of the cigar so it will keep during shipping, and it protects the cigar from any jostling during that journey. To enhance the cigar's aging process, and speed it up a bit, you should take the cellophane off. You can keep the cigars in their boxes, although if the humidor is keeping humidity levels properly, I'd crack the boxes open just a bit to allow some air inside.

That is about cigars in boxes though, so its slightly different but related to the original post.

I always take the wrappers off my cigars and replace them w/ the wrappers off Grape Swishers.

Mmmmmmmm.

This is ONE person's opinion, just like the guy in cigar no baka's shop who's opinion I would take with a grain of salt.. Oh never mind it must be true, after all you saw it on the internet

Min Ron Nee will tell you to NEVER open a cigar box a "crack" when trying to age cigars. I'd take his advice over some yahoo's posting on the internet anyday of the week.

But of course I'm sure experienced guys like joshua and cigar no braina know perfectly well who Min Ron Nee is and they choose to discount his opinion
