Do the Gorillas around here keep the cello wrapping on their cigars on or take them off when they go in the humi? I've seen different people on here say different things. Just wondering what's the best way to do things. :tu
 
I store them how I receive them. If they have cello on then I keep it on. IMO it helps protect them when I am rummaging around for something to smoke.
 
I don't really care. I will usually leave it on if it comes that way, but I don't really care one way or the other.
 
Do an advanced search with the word "cello" in "thread titles only"...there are literally scores of threads on this already, and you may hear from some Gorillas who might not chime in again. ;) :)
 
I know most say cello is permeable and all that but I prefer all my cigs in the humi naked. No cellophane, no plastic cases, just the cigar with the band. And speaking of damaged wrappers - it's not like I'm shaking my humi around and I'm very delicate with the stogies when needing to move them.

I used to be indifferent about cello, but after smoking a few 15+ year old machine made Cubans in cello, I am offically a FAN of cellophane. I think it locks in a lot of flavor and aroma. It also protects the cigar not only from damage but from environment changes as well. Viva cellophane! :ss

:tpd: couldn't have said it better; I'm a fan of nudity as well.
 
I am a fan of naked and tend to strip those smokes down to their skivvies(sp), but I may have to rethink getting naked with my smokes!

I usually take the cello off as they tend to age better and breath, which in the end usually makes for a better cigar. Almost all my cigars are nude.:2
 
Do you guys like to buy hard or soft cigars? J/K, couldn't resist.:r:bn
I have no preference lately. More times than not they go into the humi the way they came. I've become so lazy lately and just to save on space I tend to keep things in the baggy they came in with just the sealed part of the bag open. I'll pull them out to inspect them but will usually just put them back in the bag just to conserve space. I used to pull all the cello off my smokes but found that they would get damaged from time to time so now I just leave it. If they come naked they stay naked, if they come celloed they stay celloed. It really makes no difference. It's just a matter of preference an how bad the OCD is kicking that day!:D
 
For short term storage, meaning going to be smoked and not intentionally aged, I would leave the cello on. For boxes that you are intentionally storing longterm, I would take the cello off and then wrap the box tight, IMO.

We've all seen the yellow or even brown cellos from aged cigars, as well as the plume stuck to the cello sometimes. It seems to me these oils would have been better off staying with the cigar than being wicked up by the plastic.

So minimum air exchange and no wicking material for aging, leave cello on for protection of the short term smoking stock.
 
I leave them on. That way they are easier to handle and I don't have to worry about damaging the wrapper or foot of the cigar. Especially for cammies! Plus, I don't mind putting it in my shirt pocket if I'm headed out for the night.
