Several times I've dumped unwrapped sticks that had contamination that grew into an unidentifiable substance. If all my cigars had been unwrapped, there's no doubt these 'contaminated' sticks would've spread their funk to the rest of them.

...and the 100 to 200 pairs of hands that handled the tobacco in your cigar and the finished product prior to cello being applied were all run under a UV sterilizer and swabbed with germicide before touching it...

Werd! I heard Nick Perdomo once say it can be upward of 400 pairs of hands.

Also, if you are concerned, please do not touch money or door knobs.

For the vast, vast majority, leaving the cello on or taking it off will have absolutely no consequences and is a complete non sequitur. If the sticks are quite wet or if they are to be stored for 15+ years, then the on/off argument starts to have some bearing.

But y'all have fun now, ya hear.
