I know this maybe seem like a rookie question but I be hopin all ya'll be bearin with me. When I put stogies in the humidor, should I be leavin the cellophane sleeve on em or should I be takin the sleeve off?

Some experts say to leave the cellophane sleeve on because it protects the cigar from bumps and bruises. Others say that removing the cellophane sleeve allows the tobacco to age more readily and co-mingle with the other aromas of the cigars and wood from your humidor.

If you keep most of the same type of cigars in your humidor, removing the cellophane sleeve will allow the tobaccos to marry since they are of similar origin.

When traveling or using a cigar case, it is best to leave the cellophane sleeve on for better protection. Most cigar cases keep the cigars very close which increases the chances for damage to the delicate wrapper leaf.

Many thanks for the advice Cigarlover. Makes sense ta me.

Y'know, I usually leave the cellophane on, but I can see where it would be a good idea to take it off for your home humidor, unless you have flavored cigars or something like that.

i always take it off dont know why just think it might give them a plastic smell and taste if i leave them on too long
