I see people keep their cellophane on their sticks when they put them in their humi. Advantages to this?

Personal preference. Whatever you choose is fine.
Cellophane is nice if you need to touch them everyday or for travel protection.

Keeping the cello on can prevent your cigars from rubbing together as you move them around. But whether to keep it on or not is mainly a personal choice. Some cigars do not come with cello so I usually leave them as they are packaged from the manufacturer.

Also, there is a wealth of information in the stickies at the top of each forum section.

Aside from the other answers I have read in a few places that cigars age at a slower rate or something of the sort. Don't quote me on this though and no Nickerson comments please.

That "information" is out there, but it's really more of a theory from some people based on their personal perceptions and alleged experiences than it is a proven fact there Nicker...errr, Mario.

It's also one of those things that gets repeated over and over on websites because people often just copy info from other places that have it without really changing or even thinking about anything (much like the oft repeated flavor marrying myth)
