Question
I am new to the whole cigar world, I received my first humidor as a gift. I followed the steps to season it, but dont know if I should leave the cigars ijn the cellophane wrappers or remove them before I place them in humidor. Thank you very much for your time
Jay,
I like to keep my cigars in their cellophane tubes. Your humidor will keep them fresh, and the cellophane helps protect the cigars when you are taking them out or adding to the humidor. It is also best to have the cellophane on the cigars if you decide to take a few with you to the golf course, a friends house... for the same reason - the tubes will help protect them.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Bill

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
