    This is one of those questions that's asked over and over. The answer is - it's up to you. The humidity can get through the cello so it's not going to hurt the cigar to leave it on. Personal preference.

    Just a friendly hint, try using the search function in the upper right corner before asking a question you suspect has already been asked many times. Just sayin'........,

    I keep my wrappers on, smoking a cigar with only a binder is a pain in the ass.

    Keep the cellos on to protect the wrapper and stick in general. If you have sticks that seem to need time before sacrifice, take the cellos off a few days/weeks before smoking (kind of a quick aging process used by some of us). IMHO........

    If you mean cellophane (wrapper is actually the outermost piece of tobacco on a cigar), then it is entirely personal preference. I keep mine on, because I'm a handsy motherfcker and like to dig through my humidors when I'm drunk. Cellophane keeps me from damaging my cigars when I get handsy.

    It don't matter. Personal choice, I leave mine on because I rummage thru them alot and don't want to risk damaging.

    I think the question is: do you leave the cigars your cellophane wrappers? Ditch the sticks and smoke the plastic!

    If you have a steady hand and want to see how the wrapper influences the outcome of your smoke you can remove it. I recommend this video from Alec Bradley www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF1T6819a1s

    I leave mine on, and if they come with none, I always try to put on when I ship/trade bomb. JJ just received some from me and the pillow inflated like crazy and oozed out, if no cello the cigars could have been damaged, luckly the cigars were unharmed:-)
