Many of you have gotten bombs from me, or gifts and have asked me to post this info many times, but Ive been lazy, so here it finally is. It may be a little bit of overkill, but its what I do.
If I get a box of cigars or singles and they have cello on them, they get left that way, other than me printing a label with the cigar info on it and the date I got it, if its a gift, I also put the persons name on it. I use a Brothers P-Touch label maker and its the perfect size for this job.
...............
Uncelloed sticks get wrapped in a thin sheet of tissue paper and the same label put on it. The kind of tissue paper you get for putting with gifts and such around christmas. A bit anal maybe, but when Im rumminging around I wont damage the sticks or get oils or whatever else from my hands on them. Plus I can tell at a glance the age and what exactly the stick is.
...............
Last but not least, if the box of cigars are uncelloed, I put a band on one or more of the sticks inside the box and leave them there. I use the little bands you can get from group buys or from cigarmony or heartfelt. This also helps identify the age of the cigars in the box and if Im sending them out to someone, they will know what they are getting from me. If its a gift from someone I put their name on it, so later when I smoke it Ill know who gave me the wonderful cigar, or dog rocket if thats the case :bn
...............
There are many different ways to accomplish all this and yes it can be time consuming sometimes and I dont always do it right away, but eventually it gets done. Besides smoking them its my hobby and Im gonna enjoy it
I got the idea of the tissue paper from El Rey Del Mundo NCs and the Brothers P-Touch label maker from a thread here on CS. Do what you like with yours, its all a matter of preference anyways. Hope this helps someone. Im gonna go smoke my HDM Le Hoyo des dieux now and relax.
