When I bought my humi it came with 100 cigars. Being new to cigars and all excited with my new humi and all the reading I had been doing on storage, etc.....I took the cello off all 100 sticks...........worst decision that I ever made. I now have a too large assortment of "yard-gars" with chipped/cracked wrappers simply from handling them and moving them around to make my selection for the day. I have, however, noticed no "marrying" between them.....maybe their all celibate cigars or something??

The only time I take the cello off is right before sparking it up.
