    Cello on for me. Less damage. 

    Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

    Yeah, me too. Except for the CC's that don't have cellos to begin with...   B)

    Cello on for me also. I save a few used cellos for the uncelloed sticks i get.

    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.

    Am I the only one that goes commando here?  I feel so alone, and naked.

    If it comes with it I leave it. Really not a preference thing.

    I always remove the cello, expect for a few sticks that I feel that I might ship.

    Good article, I'm a cello on person.  I rotate my cigars from time to time and the cello protects them from my meaty paws.

    1st reaction:  "NOOO! Not the cello debate!  Again!

    Read article

    Good article

    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.

    I like the protection of a cello.

    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.  B)

    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.

    It's all good. Cello, no cello. Long as the smoke is good, I no care.
