Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
FYI, cellophane is not plastic; it is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose. Cellulose from wood, cotton, hemp or other sources is dissolved and then extruded into cellulose.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
There is also the fact it protects your cigars over many years, I'm sorry but there are some aged cigars in cello that are pure **** and the fact that they are in perfect condition after 30 or 40 or even 50 yrs is yet another reason to leave them in the cello. There are some Davis in another thread in cello that are

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Here's a question, AF Anejos are my fav NC and have been smoking a LOT of them lately I've had 5 recently out of a box from '11 and 2 of them were tar monsters!! The other 3 have smoked beautifully. What is the deal with that? Is it weather? RH outside? Bum sticks(doubt it they smoked fine just ridiculous amounts of tar oozing out) wasnt a one cut and solved the problem, after my third cut i had to chuck it! Any one with knowledge on this matter would be greatly appreciated thanks!!

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Well could be from different things, do you use a punch or a V or straight cut. I looked this up once and it's hard to actually find info (at least I didn't), I did find this that someone printed from a manufacturer who contacted a factory.
“This grotesque syrup is somewhat of an enigma. We assume that it is sap left inside the stem of the leaf which doesn’t evaporate during fermentation. It is extremely rare, but by far one of the most pungent and foul substances of the world. It has been my experience that cutting below the ooze usually ends the matter.” |

Do what you want. They're your cigars. BTW, who the frack is this Dick Hacker guy and where is the research to support his assertions? While we're at it, what are his qualifications? Ohh, he has book with "ultimate" in the title, sounds impressive. I think I'm going to write a book called "The Uber Cigar Book". Last edited by T.G; 08-07-2013 at 10:48 PM. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Judging a man by his name and title of his book is foolish considering his been all over the world to about every manufacture and rolling facility before writing his book and years of experience, and you? consider reading it first before having a knee jerk judgment

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Being that cello is porous, I disagree with Mr. Hacker's assertion. And I disagree even more through my own experience with celloed cigars, I have smoked cigars that were decades old and kept in cello, and they aged wonderfully....the aging process was not halted.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I didn't make any judgement of Mr. Hacker's experience or knowledge, I just say I disagree with the quote you posted. Guy might have forgotten more than I know about cigars for all I know, but I thnk he's wrong about cello halting the aging of cigars, based on my knowledge and experience.
