White precipitate on cigar wrappers

It's just atomized water settling on cello/other surfaces. Good tobacconists recognize this and are attentive to their inventory and keep their product that is in cello wiped down every day. I am a stickler for it at the five stores I'm responsible for. Un-cello'd cigars pose a challenge because they are more fragile, but we separate those into a humidified case of their own, or pay extra attention to them in the main humidor. There's really nothing that should prevent you from smoking a cigar with the haze on it, but it's visually unappealing. It often wipes of with ease. Perhaps your local B&M could use some help?

This isn't TC but Tob Ex on 72. I've never heard anyone complain about their cigars as far as smoking them goes. They had some Anejo 55's from '10 that I was looking at and some Hemingway Classics from about '08. I only go in TC once a year (BIL's B'Day) and don't enjoy that very much. My man cave is 1/2 done so I should be set for a place to play cards in a month since KW has banned about any enjoyment you could have in his place.

Im not sure what is sadder, what you said, or the fact that I understood all the abbreviations!

Sadly for the cigar public of the Quad Cities, so did I. Started to make a response, but KW unworthy!!
