To Cello or Not to Cello; That is the ?????

captTrips · 07-07-2012, 04:46 AM

I normally store my cigars in the humi without said cellophane. My friend doesn't remove the cellophane and says I am a fool for taking it off. What is the professional opinion and why is it better?

The professional opinion is that there is no professional opinion. Personal preference, pure and simple.

This has been discussed in depth many times here.Do a search and you will find plenty of opinions.

I hate to tell you this, but your friend is right.

As are all the people who told you that whatever you decide is fine.

HOWEVER, what they mean in the end is you pay, you play, your way. If you don't notice that you are losing
certain flavors and textures that you enjoy when your cigars sit there in the dark without any clothes, then maybe
for you it doesn't matter which way it goes. But if you notice in 2 years that your prized something-or-others just
don't taste the way you remembered, then you can chalk that up to a common scientific principle called oxidation.
It's killing YOU, it's killing me, it kills everything, including taste in cigars. How fast you smoke them is your only
defense against it. On the other hand, if there are cigars you own that are just TOO strong for your tastes
I suggest leaving them un-celloed for a good while.

I'd prefer my cigars to be rubbing against one another naked than something manufactured with wood/cotton being put through a series of chemical baths which are then added to plasticizing chemicals.

All I did was copy and paste from NCRadioman's post in another cello thread so I am almost as lazy

I got a couple of boxes from 08 that have half unwrapped and half wrapped. Havent smoked one for a while, maybe I will do a side by side.

I used to toss the cello all the time. Anymore, as far as my aging humi goes, I could go either way depending on my mood the day I put them in. In my short term coolidor (thanks Dice!) how they come is ALWAYS how they stay.
