    Celophane

    I have begun leaving mine on for simple protection, as I play with my stick quite often... The one down fall of leaving the cello on is that i no longer get that blast of tobbaco aroma everytime i open my humi, and i miss that!

    What's Your Favorite Thing About Cigar Smoking?

    I agree with many of the above that it varies dependant upone the situation, sometimes it is sharing memories with my father, helping a friend through a tough time, but if i had to narrow it down to one this, its that it forces me to slow down and reflect on life....
