Storing Cigars

[Hannibal]

This might have been mentioned before but the "search" resulted in nothing.

So when storing cigars do you leave the cellophane on or off? In the tube or out of the tube? I would assume that there is some difference doing it either way but is anything founded?

So let me hear your thoughts/experiences on this issue. Leave it wrapped or let it go all natural???

Here's a cellophane discussion:

Thanks, didn't come up in any search. Sorry

However they come, that's how I leave them.

Here's a tip, use Google to search this and any website. I find it easier to peruse Google's results. You just put "site:" before the website followed by a space and what you're looking for. For example:

site:cigarsmokers.com cellophane on or off

I think there was a discussion on storing with or sans tube a few months ago.

That's what I do too.

I asked the owner of my favorite B&M and he told me the cellophane is a special kind that allows humidity to pass in/out so removing it wasn't necessary.

I have a couple that are in cellophane and one in a tube that have been sitting in my humi for over a year now and they seem to be doing just fine.

Cellophane is derived from cellulose, a plant product (not plastic from oil), and it is naturally breathable.
