Separating cigars in your humidor?

Excellent! I never liked keeping them in the cello, and I was hoping that it wouldn't really matter. Of course, there is more temptation to smoke them once they are naked! ;o)

If you have a bunch of singles, I would keep the cello on. Singles tend to get shuffled around more, and the cello will protect the wrapper.

I agree. Yes they look prettier naked but a few shufflings to get to the smokes on the bottom of the humidor could be all it takes to accidentally damage the wrapper of another prized smoke. Plus should you pull them out and accidentally drop one of them, sticks tend to take hits better when still in the cello as opposed to being naked. I learned this lesson many moons ago the hard way. Now if a stick comes without cello and if it's something I consider to be prized I will usually stick it in a single baggie just to help keep it in good shape.

I agree with respect to flavors "marrying". Separating them for the sake of organization is not a bad idea. Harder to do when your collection grows.

Absolutely. Cello on or off is entirely personal preference. But it seems to me that the protection it provides is well worth leaving it on.
