  • Cellophane on or off prior to storing?

     09-22-2009, 1:03 PM

    Is it just preference, or is there a clear cut better method whether to leave the cellophane on take it off before you let it rest in your humi?


    oh how sweet it is to wake up to this beauty every day of my life!!!!

    I say go with the shot glass with distilled water instead of wiping it down...oh wait, wrong question. Cello on.

    Good question. I have been wondering the same thing myself. Right now I leave the cello on unless the cigar feels a little dry then I will take it out. Any opinions from the experts?

    Cello Breathes... If it comes in cello, leave it on, if it comes without cello and you root around in your humi as much as I do, then PUT a cello on it!

    Cello is made from wood, so it'll let all the moisture you need pass through

    If you're NOT constantly in your humidor (who isn't????) and it didn't come with a cello, don't worry about it. I have a couple of Gurkha Vintage Shaggys sitting naked in my humidor right now, but they're at the bottom and back so I really don't worry about it.. Other than that, Lasabar made it pretty clear.

    I have some naked Gurkha Ancient Warriors (Damn thats a visual I could have done without haha) I just put them to the side and be easier rooting around them ...

    I use to remove it from all of my sticks but now I leave it on as it offers protection when looking through your humidor to find the perfect smoke. My buddy recently started righting the date on the smoke so he knows how old they are for aging purposes.

    I leave the cello on my sticks so I can write the date as well. Otherwise I'd never remember how long they have been aging.

    I would suggest leaving the Cello on. If you are going to be aging the smoke for quite a while then I would snip the tail of the cello at the foot to give it just a little more breathing space.
