Cello question...

[K Baz]

If am not mistaken the 05 or 06 lot of anejos had alot of reported cases of mold under the cedar sleeve.

As such and as a percaution people do strip off the cedar and the cello to reduce the chances of mold and also to make it easier to catch the mold vs having it hidden under the cedar sleeve.

I believe the general belief was that these cigars for some reason were more suseptable to mold I don't fully understand that but I would focus on good storage conditions and if your lucky enough to find some aged anejo strip off the cedar just in case.

Many cigars are stored with the cedar sleeve on with no issues it seems to be an isolated event(s)
