It's not laquer your smelling. The box was made from MDF and sleeved with a Spanish cedar liner. The smell your getting is from the MDF and should have no ill effect on your sticks. I smelled a box at a shop where they removed the sticks from the foil and the MDF actually ended up soaking up the tobacco smell and the box no longer smelled like the MDF. If your storing for long term I would keep the sticks in the foil.
To be honest when I first got my box I removed the sticks too until I found out where that unique smell was coming from.

Yes, I have noticed this as well. I thought I was the only one

Started another thread on the box smell but to tie it into this, could it be that the boxes have something to do with when they were rolled? Who knows but if the current batch of the blacks is really different than what was first released I am officially done with this brand. OR this OR that with no way to tell what you have unless you buy and smoke them. My plan was to keep them sealed but I am going to crack the bundle open and compare for myself. I am seeing a WTB thread "Tatuaje Black Stinky/Non-Stinky Box"

I believe that the OR Petite Lanceros have the closed foot and the new ones do not. There was a thread on here that someone stated that is how you can tell apart the OR from the others. Hope this helps.

Yes, that is true. There were some that were rolled at the same time as the closed foot that were to be released as the regular production. What is being discussed is why there seems to be a difference between some of the regular production sticks.
