Question
I've just gotten into cigars and have bought a humidor. Should I take the individual plastic sleeves off each cigar before putting them in the humidor?
Doug,
It is not necessary to remove the cellophane tubes from your cigars to keep them fresh in your humidor. Actually, I prefer not to remove them because you increase the risk of damaging the cigars as they are handled and/or transported. Keep the tubes on them until you are ready to smoke the cigars and they'll be fine.

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>
