Quite the opposite. It will age slower but less air exchange is widely considered the best way to age cigars and the cello is another barrier preventing air flow, imo.

Many people even wrap boxes in saran wrap then close them in a ziplock for long term aging.

I was merely quoting what I have heard from others. I agree with you though on the air flow. It might age slower but would probably be a superior cigar in the end.

If you agree, why did you state this? I'm

I agree with you about the air flow and slower aging.

God, I'm sorry I even posted it! I thought that perhaps someone else might have found it interesting, but I guess I was wrong! If I could delete the damn post, I would.
Thousand pardons.

Don't be sorry. And don't get your undies in a bunch.
People DO find it interesting. That is why they're responding. There are a lot of intelligent and serious cigar smokers here. You can expect people to engage you and challenge your perspectives in a positive way. Don't expect folks to nod is passive agreement.

Yes! I remember getting strange looks from my wife a few years ago when I started doing this with boxes. "Ummm honey, why are you wasting our saran wrap on your cigars?" Lol.
