Cello or no cello?
In looking at pics of "asylum" humidors (under accessories), I noticed that alot store their sticks in celo in their humidors....I always remove the celo, with the thought that the smokes will age better, marry flavors thus enhancing the overall smoke, etc. etc.....What's your preference?

Re: Celo or no celo?
Except for Sharks which have the nasty habit of growing copius amounts of mold if left in the celo.

Isn't this a sticky yet!?
Seriously though, I keep them the way they come. I age alot of my boxes and the cello keeps the different cigars from marrying and preserves the oils longer. Last edited by FriskyDingo; 10-16-2008 at 04:45 PM. |

I always leave mine the way the came as well. I don't really know why I do this. I once asked this question on CS and didn't get a reason that stuck with me.

For long-term storage it's a good idea because it slows the air exchange that much more which, in turn, causes them age better.

I went though this when i started. Overall I found it is much better to leave it on. Keeps the cigar intact when playing tetris and still allows the smokes to age. Plus its a good way to tel when the cello goes yellow

I keep them the way they come. I used to take it off because I thought they looked better in the humi 'naked'.

Re: Cello or no cello?
i keep them in cello. it protects them and still allows the to age. it's also a good way to see how they are aging over time.
