Only because US law requires that cigars be individually wrapped if they are to be sold. Its a phenomenon seen only here.


False. No such law exists.


As for the cellophane, that is a matter of preference. Many of the cigars I buy don't have cellophane like Tatuajes orSan Cristobals, however the ones that do, typically my La Aurora 107s, I keep it on so the flavors don't mingles as much, and it is also a line of defense against tobacco bugs and beetles.

Which begs the question, why would any company go through the additional time and expense to produce the product with a cello wrapper then? Would it not save them time and money to simply skip the step if its not required? Doesn't make much sense does it? It's because you are wrong...

Cigars are cello wrapped because multiple States have revenue codes that require cigars to be individually wrapped. In response, virtually all of the cigar manufacturers elect to cello wrap their cigars that are exported to the US. It's simply easier than deciding to wrap cigars for TN, WI, FL and multiple other States while leaving wrappers off of cigars where it's not required.
