Sure this has been asked a million times but just lookin for a few opinions. I myself am not a fan of having cellophane in my box but just wondering if I am right or wrong?

I'd like to repeat a something I heard here once regarding this question:

"Real cigars don't come in cellophane"

But I am just not that badass...really, I like all my cigars to be sans cello in the humidor, but I leave the cello'd cigars as is because I end up regretting decelloing them when I just want to toss a cigar in my jacket pocket...

personal preference

WRONNNNNNG!!!!! Wars have been fought over this!!!

Just kidding. Cello is a good way to protect smokes and they age very well inside the cello. If you don't like it, remove it, but it causes no harm whatsoever. Quite the contrary, IMO.

This is an April Fools' joke, right?

Seriously though, it's all personal preference. My preference is to leave the cellophane on, because.....

a. I keep the vast majority of my cigars in their original boxes. So if the cigars come in cellophane in the box, that's how they stay.

b. I might send the cigar to someone someday. Cigars wrappers are better protected in cellophane when going through the mail.

c. Most importantly, I'm just too damed lazy to take all the cellophane off at one time.

I thought it was an April Fool's joke myself!

My personal preference is to leave them as they came. Cellos breath, so it doesn't affect the humidity of the cigars any to leave the cellos on. I like the protection they provide. Some cigars that are especially important to me, or that are notorious for fragile wrappers I'll put into single-cigar baggies and leave open just for the protection.

I also thought it was an April Fool's joke. That was me being polite.
