Cellophane on or off?

I don't know that a cellophane wrapper can really preserve a cigar's bouquet. I've also noticed some of the oils from cigars that were aging for a long time were absorbed by the cellophane wrapper. That's not good.

I do agree with OLS in that cigars do "mellow" with age. i just happen to think that will happen with or without the cellophane.


Cheers,

Oils or gases like ammonia that gets trapped in the cello? (yellow cello) That's a good thing.

I'll prob leave them as they come but if I have full cigars then I'll unwrap and let them sit awhile to let them mellow. Thanks for all the replies.

Keep in mind, if you want them to "mellow", that will take years. And if you are aging for years, leave them on. As stated before, less air exchange is desired for better aging leave them all on if they come with it.

Besides everyone likes to see yellow cello!
