Cedar wrapped cigar question

[OnePyroTec]

Ok
Wayne, realise you're just back from a break, feeling a bit frisky, but quit teasing and tell us how" All I do with the sleeves is remove for smoking." those sleeves smoke. Would expect they'd be a Mild airy sort compared to the cigars they were wrapped around.

Back in the 90's "boom" days there were more than plenty self proclaimed cigar snobs. Um YES, some fools have been seen smoking cigars without taking off the cedar sleeve/tube.

The way I figure, if a cigar is going to get mold, it will get mold regardless if it is in a cedar tube.

I've seen that once before at a bar around 20 years ago. Some all knowing fool wuffing on a cigar with the sleeve on telling his buddies how good it is and he gets told that the sleeve comes off. His face was redder than a baboons azz....

I've left them on with no problems, but I have heard the same thing. The first sign of a problem and they're gone.
But thanks Tracy for now making me go check......

Have heard that also, but left the Cedar sleeves on without a problem.

This: " The first sign of a problem and they're gone." Sounds like something said by Rosie Roundheels.

Got me smiling.
Thanks Tony.

With your extensive collection that could take awhile so I guess I should apologize for sharing my paranoia. I'll also throw out there that you could just collect all of them and send em to me and I'll check them for you. I promise I'll return them after I "inspect" them.

Well you know they're all cheapies, except for those you just sent me, so not many actually have cedar on them.
But yeah, if you want cigars with cedar on them to "inspect" I can make that happen

Off. I have had Añejo mold up pretty quickly at 62/65 in the wineador. So I always remove them.

[TreySC]

You're supposed to take them off?

[Emperor Zurg]

You're supposed to take them off?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I guess don't knock it till you try it... but what about that little ribbon around the foot of an Anejo? You supposed to smoke thru that too?

I haven't had many cigars with a cedar sleeve, but I do remove my cigars from the cellophane. I'm not sure if that makes any difference, because cellophane and cedar are both supposed to breathe.

Edit: I did see a neat trick once where someone lit their cigar using the cedar sleeve. They slid it down about 1.5" and lit it. Took a few puffs and it lit the cigar pretty well. Eventually he blew out the sleeve and slipped the remaining bit off into the ashtray.
