- crowb8 - 12-29-2008 Should one leave the cellophane on the cigar while in the humidor? I'd like to hear what you do, and why. - Skipper the cigar aFISHinodo - 12-29-2008 nothing to discuss, no option, leave it on. The manufacturers spend a ton of $ to put it on, ever wonder why? the reasons are (& the reasons you want it on)
- Vitamin G - 12-29-2008 I leave mine on, if for no other reasons than 1) I'm lazy 2) It protects during transport 3) It helps retain humidity - SmokyOneKenobi - 12-29-2008 Skipper the cigar aFISHinodo Wrote:nothing to discuss, no option, leave it on. I leave it on because.... Skipper says so [thumbsup] - Magnum PI - 12-29-2008 What if you buy a box and it comes wrapped in cello and you don't plan on opening it for a while. Leave the cello on the box? - Tonto - 12-29-2008 SmokyOneKenobi Wrote:Ditto!

Leave the cello on the box?just a guess, but I would think that the cellophane is permable to the humidity. - Tonto - 12-29-2008 SmokyOneKenobi Wrote:That was my understanding tooMagnum PI Wrote:What if you buy a box and it comes wrapped in cello and you don't plan on opening it for a while.

Ive also read because oxygen can reach the cigars quicker and a better cycle of fresh can reach the cigars when your humi is open, they will age faster. Again, desirable if your humi is set up properly. Those are the only reasons ive ever heard of to take the cello off. Skipper brings up some good points as well. I dont know the proper method, but either way, just enjoy your smokes. - chris1980 - 12-29-2008 umm skippers words are the only ones i would follow he know best. Plus why would he lie to us [thumbsup] |
