Change in Cello

This isn't another color changing thread I promise!

But is it just me or have a lot of manufacturers started using cello that feels a lot thinner and chinsier recently? If I am in fact not losing my mind, does anyone know the purpose? Eco friendly? Cheaper? Better air transfer?

Re: Change in Cello

I;ve noticed this too. I dont care as long as it offers a little extra protection. I don't like my cigars fraternizing with each other.

I've noticed that. They often times seem to be looser as well.

I guess they do seem a little looser. Never thought about it

Probably has more to do with what size cello they bought than anything else...

Welcome to CA, please stop by the New Inmates section and post an introduction.

Re: Change in Cello

Seemed to have noticed difference in cello from older/newer same brands but as long as it has something to protect it and it works it's all the same to me.

Trying to cut some costs with cheaper materials?

Let's move on to a question I've been dying to know: cello on or cello off?

Re: Change in Cello

:hm...You know, my underwear has been getting a bit on the loose side too Andrew. I'm not sure if its due to losing weight around the middle, the elastic band stretching, the material wearing in certain areas, if Fruit of the Loom bean counters are switching to a more thin/ECO material, or all of the above. Maybe I should just put a crowbar in my wallet and buy a new pair...

Re: Change in Cello

I've noticed it in some, but usually very few and for sure the lesser expensive cigars.

^^This.
If you ever have bought the CI el cheapos or the Thompson house brands, you know that a lot of them have come in some super thin cello for many years.

Neither, just noticed some of the bargain brands at the shop have skimpier cello.

No...I don't care for CCs, so I don't get them often. But I know the majority of the folks here do, so I was just asking. But now that you mentioned it, I can't think of a single CC I've had with cello. Please excuse my ignorance. :sh

Some Cubans do have cello. Just for clarification. Also some shops in the UK put cello on the Cubans sold as singles.

The current production cigars don't have cello on them. Discontinued ones do though. http://cubancigarwebsite.com/brand.a...#Petit_Coronas

Re: Change in Cello

But what Trevor's site doesn't tell you is that there is still quite a bit of the cello'd stock available.

Correct. But the OP was talking about cello changing recently.

Yeah, I knew that. I was just trying to help out jwillm and then we got on this discussion. Sorry for the thread jack OP.

It's not a bad thing Dan, hopefully some of those who are newer to CCs who might run across this thread will gain something from the conversation. :tu

Re: Change in Cello

I think the main difference I've noticed is whether or not they're using true cellophane made from cellulose which is a natural material or whether they use cheap plastic wrappers.

I have never seen a plastic wrapper on any cigar in the shops I frequent. Please elaborate.

FWIW, although there are still some Cuban cigars available in cello, these are primarily pre-2002 machine mades. There are no machine made cigars currently being made in Cuba, even LFDC are hand made and without cello.

Re: Change in Cello

Last H.Upmann Puritos I smoked had cello on them. Who knows, they may have been vintage, but I doubt it.

I admit, I am splitting hairs here :rolleyes:

Otherwise, I concur. Hand made Cuban cigars of recent production do not have cello that I know of (can't remember if the LDFC Selectos do, but the LFDC PCs do not)

So, I purchased a San Lotano Habano robusto and Padron 3000 Nat (don't ask me why I purchased the Padron. Guess I was just hoping it would've been better that the last time I tried one) a couple a days ago that were both cello'd. Cello on both appeared to be thick from these two different companies. Maybe the same vendor services both regarding the sales of the cello?...:2
