So I've finally owned up to my two-stick-a-week habit (plus 1 or 2 puros on poker night) and bought a decent barrel humidor.

Now that I'm buying boxes, I find that my cigars show up cello-wrapped inside the box. My question is whether I should strip 'em or leave 'em in their plastic wrappers when loading my humidor. I live a a very variable climate area, and my sticks risks both drying and oversaturation 'on the shelf'; thus I bought a mid-line (call it an Acura) humidor.

Are my puros better maintained at 70% naked or still in their cello over the long term?

Thanks!
