n00b question! Cedar sleeves!

[gordo1473]

I really thought you smoked them

[herman]

Well technically you can, unless it's a Guten Cala.

I cut them to the diameter of inside humidor windows to block out light.

Cut them into 1"x 1" date and box code labels.

Sandwich them in between large stacks of cigars.

Make cedar floors over the bottom of paper dress boxes.

[fastnbulbous]

I also usually save them and throw them into humidors that have the room.
Buffer (maybe) and smell, what the hell.

If it is a tubo do you also take the cedar sleeve out?

I don't. But I try to give the cigar a few days or weeks out of the tube in the humidor before smoking.

You can light a cigar with the cedar sleeve still on by sliding it out part way first:



OR once removed, fold it over on itself several times and use it as a cedar spill. You might only need half of it.

Okay am I the only one who thinks that is very cool?

This is what I always thought they were for but I don't think I would risk it. I only have a minimal amount of cigars and I would hate myself for ruining one trying to do some fancy lighting.

I did get some good tips from others in this thread though.
