The whole plastic wrapper thing is preference really. Cellophane breathes, so you don’t have to worry about the cigar not getting the humidity of your humidor. There is a rumor that leaving the plastic in slows the process for different cigar wrapper flavors bleeding into your cigars below. But I don’t know how much of that is true.

Personally, I leave them how I buy them. I only have a 50 or 75 count humidor so I’m not shoving boxes in there.

My thoughts on this have always been to leave them as I bought them as well because that’s how they’ve been aging, but lately I’ve been taking them out of the cellophane for no other reason than aesthetics. I haven’t had an issue with blending flavor profiles as far as I can tell, but I don’t put flavored smokes in my humidors if I buy one.

JimMorrison, we’re doing broccolini, broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers, better boy tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, romaine lettuce, spinach, pole beans, watermelon, and strawberries. My wife likes to can for the winter.

Battling wasps and carpenter bees already here in NC, so I burned a Vegas Gold recommended here by RedPop I believe while I did it

Very smooth and consistent caramel with nutty flavors that finished with some spice. More mild than I typically like, but I enjoyed it! Would recommend also. Especially as a good smoke that’s a break from your normal rotation.
