Cello for me just because of damage...I actually disagree with some of this article but it's all opinion. Aging cigars has always been a debate as well as cello on or off. But IMO three months does little for a cigar besides shipping shock.
If it comes with it I leave it. Really not a preference thing.

Similarly, I've found that in the last couple years, I usually take the cello off the coming weeks likely smokes, and leave the rest alone. I used to always take off all the cello on arrival.
Funny how things change.

For my non-cello'd cigars I've found sticky "Labels" ordered from Kenco that I put around the foot of the cigars to not only label the cigar when I bought it, but to also protect the foot when I rummage through the humi's
Hey I'm a rookie so I'm just trying stuff to see what works for me... My b&m guy tells me to build up a collection and age them in cello then remove cello a few days before partaking in the indulgence of chosen cigars. This works for me unless I smoke too fast.
So far I feel there isn't a wrong way...I've got a lot to learn. If there is a wrong way I will discover it because I find a way to screw everything up... at least once.
