How/Who put the cigars in cellophane?

I have wondered about doing this myself. I think the cello is softer when the cigar is placed in there at first. I mean it is plant based right? Maybe when the cigar company gets them they are still soft like plastic and over time the cello dries out making it stiff. Maybe the humidity amount that is found in a humi (between 60-70%) is not high enough to keep the cello soft and easy to remove and play on cigars?
Have you ever had a cigar that had cello and was aged? The humidity levels are great for the cigars but the cello will slowly dry out and become crunchy?

This is all guessing though because I don't have any knowledge of old cigars and their cello. Maybe someone with that knowledge could speak up on the matter.
