Do NOT remove the cello until you are ready to smoke.

End of message.

What if it doesn't come with cello? Dun dun dun!

 

[UpInSmoke]

Guess I should throw out every stick I own then

 

[MoJo]

can I remove part of it? maybe take it out half way, perhaps just the tip?

I'm one of the guys who does not remove the cello and I leave the cello on for one reason - I've had wrapper damage when the sticks hit each other or if they rub up against the side of a cedar box or... well there's lots of ways to accidentally damage the wrapper. But, with the cello on, that accidental damage is pretty much eliminated.

But, I do cut off the excess cello at the foot to expose the cigar.

I'm curious as to your thoughts behind such a blanket statement.
