Cellophane

[K444HEP]

Just curious... why do NCs always seem to be wrapped in cellophane, whereas CCs do not? Is there any specific/scientific reason for this?

I'm pretty sure there is an old thread with this discussion.

Did a quick search and all i could find was this.

Cellophane sleeving of cigars commenced in Cuba in the mid-1930s and until c1992, most Cuban cigars (even Cohibas) were available in cellophane sleeves.

Since c1992 the use of cellophane sleeving was restricted to machine-made cigars, which were discontinued by Habanos c2002/2003. Cellophane is now used only for ICT machine-made Puritos.

Maybe they had problems sourcing cellophane after the soviet union collapsed.

I suspect its more to do with the market. Their biggest market is the USA where there are cigar shops everywhere and you might pop in and pick up a single for later. The cello will afford some short term protection in your pocket. Cuban cigar smokers are less likely to buy in that way because of the lack of shops and more obsessive about transport and storage.

That makes sense, especially when you consider the amount of cigar shops in the US compared to other places.

They call me Mello Cello

Makes sense to me, too.

But more importantly, what the heck to do with it? On of Off? Hmmm....
