Cellophane on or off?

Not that long really, a lot of machine mades were in cello until they stopped making machine mades in 2002 IIRC. I think they are making machine mades again as of late '09, but I'm not familiar with the packaging.

As Tom stated, the old Partagas culebras were in foil and short filler. The current ones are long filler and packed in coffins. The old ones were kind of neat - it was a dress box of 8 foil wrapped culebras plus one single cigar loose.

Cello is short for cellophane, it's a wood pulp cellulose product, there is no plastic whatsoever in it.
