I've never had a problem. The argument of leaving cellophane on or taking it off is really just a matter of preference. There are no FACTS that show either way is the "correct" way.

I left ALL the wrappers on a box of Tatuaje Tainos ($275 a box/25). Since they were on the second shelf I didn't pay much attention to them for several months. When I did take one out I noticed that many of them were splotchy (cigar lingo for f***** up!). I was afraid to smoke the tainted sticks as I thought possibly mold? The 4 that weren't tainted were out of the world. The best smoke I have ever had!! I talked to my cigar store owner and he said that it was bad form to leave the wrapper on. I never have since and have had no problems. It may have been a 1 time occurance but wanted to make the comment as I would hate to have that happen to anyone else. Good smoking my friend

That is his and yours preference.

BTW, who are you? How about an intro post?

I think you are a tool and don't have a clue WTF you are talking about. I don't think you will fit in here. Give www.cigartards.com a try. You should fit right in.

I have never heard of that happening. What about the sticks that sit in the B&M for a long time before selling? They leave those in the cello with no problems.

**Silencei2** · 01-22-2009, 11:21 PM

The only thing I saw with someone leaving a cigar in the humi with a wrapper is gratuitous amounts of bloom. I just got back from my B&M and he showed me some La Flor lanceros that looked like they blew up in the wrapper. I'm probably going to pick some up some time and I'll take a pic for good record.

Right, so here's my Humidors - they're a little empty at the moment, but I'm still working on getting them filled up (so's I can empty them again...):

The contents of my top little box...

Top drawer of the black one:

Middle Drawer:

And the bottom drawer:

Forgive the 'dust' that got on some of those bands... I blame my dear Uncle Sam for that occuring...

Only if you forget to remove it before lighting!

Cellophane cigar wrappers are micro-porous, and do not impede humidity at any noticeable level. Leaving them wrapped keeps the delicate wrappers intact, and keeps the hygienically-challenged from sliming up your expensive cigars.

My thoughts are.. If they ship in cello, leave them in cello, if not, leave them that way too.

I disagree. I have been smoking longer than some here have been alive. Improper humidity control regardless of cello on or off causes problems. Big newbie mistake is fretting about 70% RH. Mine are stored at less than 63% all the time. I have tons of old rare stuff with the cello on.You want a cool biology expirement then keep that RH at 70
