Cello: Yea or Nea?

[aleam_38]

All depends on how I feel that certain day if I leave it on or not. But I am with Nick on taking the price tag off.

 

[tobby4]

however they come is how they are stored.. I really have no preference

Good way to check age.....crispy cello......older cigar.

I'm just mad about Saffron and she's just mad about me. That's right slick, they call it mellow yellow cello.

I leave the cello on for a few days after I put 'em in my humidor, but it comes off after that. I really don't know why. Maybe it just gives me another chance to putz with my cigars, which is fun.

 

[gpugliese]

I feel that if they came with a cello, there's a reason. I keep them on.

 

[Terrasco]

I used to remove the cello immediately but now I leave it on to protect the wrapper. Also, I live in a very dry climate and sometimes the wrappers dry out very quickly if I don't smoke them immediately after removing from the humidor. The cello seems to keep them stable until I smoke them.

i voted: depends on the cigar. not that i leave my good sticks in cello and take the bad ones out or vice versa. if a stick comes with cello i leave it on. if it doesnt, oh well. actually as ive collected more and more sticks, i have found that the cello protects the stick quite well....

I have a very large humidor with about 400 loose sticks in it; and I do quite a lot of rummaging around. Without cello the wrappers would all be severely damaged. Those that don't come in cello I usually put in cello or wrap in tissue. <Not toilet paper!>

Now below is what I *WAS* going to post as a reply:

Hell! I need mah seegars to be nekkid! I need 'em to be nekkid as in the "full frontal nudity" type of way! Son, I need mah seegars so completely nekkid that I remove the wrappers and let 'em sit there in their binders only! <G>

 

[jmatkins]

Great, just the two of us with issues. I thought everyone left the cello on :dunno: Most of mine do not come with cello anyhow.

Yea I checked always, so if they come with it I leave them be but most of mine as of late come with out them.

 

[Mickeyray5]

I usually have a couple of each unwrapped ready to be smoked. The rest stay wrapped.

 

[TexaSmoke]

None of my cigar have cello on, I think its better for the sticks I'm ageing, plus it looks better in the humidor.

 

[rpb67]

If they come with the cello on. I leave the cello on. This is the way the factory would store them, so I will keep them the same way.

 

[CWS]

Please God. Make this end. :hammersma

 

[ccsmoker]

Most of the cigars I smoke do not come in cello,the rest I take of before putting the in the humi.To me it is almost like taking off your shoes at a friends house.

 

[Trilobyte]

I treat cello like a banana peel.

 

[tobby4]

Please God. Make this end. :hammersma

Ha, it is the age old question...

Chicken or the egg??

 

[architeuthis]

Please God. Make this end. :hammersma

Yes my son... I'll send out the "Squids Of Doom" Death Squad (Or would that be a Squid Squad?) to deal with all these people who will simple NOT stop asking this hideously overchewed dead horse of a question.

Am I the only one who takes the time to cello all my uncello'd sticks? :scratchhe

I'll do that with singles. Boxes of nekkid cigars get a tissue wrapping. I put a computer printer label around the foot of every cigar with the following information:

Cigar: El Rey del Mundo
Size: Choix Supreme 5.0x48
Wrapper: Cuban
Vendor: C.O.H.
Stored: 2004/01/06

This may seem like a lot of work, but it makes for the easy finding of information. Here's a picture...
