It depends on the barometric pressure and what direction your humidor faces :D
It took every fiber in my being not to deduct from your tiny ring gage!Quote:

I too thought we had our first "cello on or off" thread. lol
Good one.
I guess I won't start my, "is this a real cuban" or "is this mold" thread now. :)
Don't do that it took a lot to get that point!!Quote:

I personally like to light the cigar before I take the cello off, but that's just meQuote:

Bump for you! I love this topic,kmsl. You did the right thing to go ahead and mention it. :)
For the new guys who may genuinely not know. There is no right or wrong way. I keep my non cubans in cello to prevent me from tearing the wrapper when handling them. I've been told it also slows aging a bit, if that's your goal.
Oh yeah, those plastic notes really add to the cigar's flavor profile.Quote:

I leave cello on all my cigars except for my Guten Calas.
If I receive the cigar with cello, I leave it on.
If it comes without cello, I do not attempt to put cello on it.
KISS
Nice chello
Errr.,.ahhhh...ummm....prolly ought to keep my fingers (mouth) shut as I'm pretty "strung out"......Quote:

Lol, I thought we would get a mold or plume thread first. I am so out of touch. It's mold.
As far as cello? I leave'm the way God made'm.
Now that's funny.....I don't care who you areQuote:

Some people just don't know what to do with that cello!

I buy cellophane in bulk so can wrap my Cubans. If you have a popular B&M, do like I do, scrounge the waste bins for discarded cello and use to wrap the ones you get without it. Tatuajes benefit tremendously from double-cello and all my Opus X wear four layers!
Too much cello is never enough!
Did someone say cello?
CELLO ON!

Except for the glass top Cohibas I bought on the beach in Mexico. Those I wrap in unlubed Trojans prior to throwing into my humi. For "extra" protection.
lmao. what is surprising is that no one has done some brand bashing yet. or did I miss something. we should get that over with too.
You should start a Gurkha & Rocky Patel thread and get them both done at once.Quote:

Wait a minute. It looks like I like RP. Never mind.
This is something that people need to keep in perspective. We all know a few brands that get little to no love. But if we just go around bashing companies its harder to get sponsors on board with us. I don't see anything wrong with dissuading someone from a brand and giving good reason as to why but straight out bashing is just bad taste IMO.Quote:

I gotta agree with the RP and Gurkha stuff. They do have some lines that are good, as long as you're not paying full MSRP. I just don't like the fact that they flood CI with a million lines that no one can keep straight. But that's their own business.
I agree with this, we certainly don't want to dissuade companies from getting on board with us.Quote:

A man who enjoys Gurkha cigars is just as much as a BOTL as one who smokes nothing but Padrons or Davidoffs.
We're all different folks. One man's dog rocket is another man's special occasion smoke. What is good and what is not is completely subjective (assuming construction is acceptable). If we all liked the same things there wouldn't be nearly as much cool stuff to choose from.
I've heard the statement on Puff many times, "Smoke what you like and like what you smoke". Who gives a damn if someone else doesn't like it.
I've not thought of this and will give er a go. Thanks for the post. I've always kept my cello on until the last minute and strip er down to unveil its nakedness. I've kept my cc's in the box for the most part with a few laying out.Quote:
