Cellophane yes or no?

[PeeJay]

This would solve the problem in much the same way cutting off your legs would stop you needing to cut your toe nails.

Isn't cellophane made from recycled toe nails anyway?

As this was asked as a sensible question, I'll just through in my 5cts worth. Firstly putting cigars in Cello was one of the first uses of the product & used because it's porous to water molecules so doesn't have to be removed for getting correct humidity in your huimi. I agree they probably don't do much when slipped on an NC or modern Cuban by the vendor but try a 30-50yrs Cuban in cello & there is a noticable difference IMHO & not just mine as they fetch better money at auction so others must believe it as well. So my advice would be do as oyu please with modern stix but keep the ello on a vintage stick until your about to smoke it. What have you got to loose?

A worthy point expressed there Simon. Hopefully some of the NCs I've got might taste better in 30 or 50 years then!

[Simon Bolivar]

Maybe CJ, but as a Medic I wouldn't advise you to hold your breath!

As long as you remove it before smoking then I wouldn't worry either way. I tend to leave it as many do.

Another fine piece of medical advice there, thanks Ed

I remember last time this discussion went around, does that make me veteran status?

I reckoned take them off for looks but then someone convinced me it both kept the oils in (that's the important stuff)
And made it easier to grab a stick to take on the go with you. Made sense to me when put like that. Now I, like many members on here, stopped buying NC after just a few months and as its something your likely to also do probably not worth worrying about.


Now tubos........................

Yep I've got two boxes of n/c s and about another thirty singles all sitting in the scubabox , but as wiggy said haven't and most probably won't buy another

[leperaffinity]

Personally I keep it on matey.
Just seems more secure that way

I have always removed from the cellophane for the same reason I leave them in the tubes... (I know different discussion)

I cant see how, natural material cigar against natural material wood doesn't = good things... Plastic hasn't been around as long as cigars or wooden humidors... but saying that (and I've now pissed myself off) I store my boxes in tupperware!

DOH!
