But, the search button is there for a reason. Feel free to use it.
You are correct that a Cellophane is permeable. The Cellophane would merely slow down the transfer as I attempted to explain (don't believe me try putting a piece of food that smells in a box and in another box wrap the same food in a ziplock and see which box will smell worst sooner, its the same idea) what degree cigars will transfer smell/taste is debatable but it is possible (as if you have a bad smelling humi or something with a strong scent in it the cigars will pick it up)

And yes Chefchris is probably correct about makeing a "better" cigar drop in flavor if they are paired though it is questionable to what degree they transfer falvors.
