I'm new to cigars and new to smoking.
The other day I walked into a smoke shop for the first time just to have a look around. I walked into the humidor, walked up to the shelves of cigars and noticed that all the cigars were wrapped in plastic wrap, like the plastic wrap that Twinkies come in. Is this right? This doesn't sound right to me..What do you think? Thanks for the

Yup! Cellophane. It breathes more than plastic and is common. Helps protect the cigar wrapper (leaf).
Unlike Twinkies, they still need humidity control, even in cello.LLA - Lancero Lovers of America2 -
How am I supposed to buy them this way? If I can't smell them, or get a good feel?0

You can smell the foot, just carefully open it, smell, put back in cello. Most B&Ms are fine with that especially if your buying. Now I wouldn’t fully take the cigar out and hold it...but that’s up to you.Cigar-20109325 said:How am I supposed to buy them this way?

Did you say how can I get a good feel?

I didn't know I could take it out of the cello. Hopefully the shop I'm buying them from approves of this. I might be taking a couple of handfuls out of the cellos.0

Ya I’d talk to the owner before doing that LOLIf you quote me do the @TX98Z28 in your text or I won't be notified of your quote, Thanks.4 -
There's no good reason to take them out of the cello... Smell and feel is an old custom from before they kept them humidified and rolled them well... It will not give you any valid information on today's sticks."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis6

Also remember there are plenty of turds that smell and feel decent. In humidors and metaphorically speaking not in real life though.Cigars were made to be smoked, whiskey was made to be drank and women were made to be loved. The only thing I try to age is myself.2

DZR is that you? You trying to bring back the TROLL OF THE WEEK TREAD? There is no **** way that this was serious, and if it was may god have mercy on your soul."We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give". Winston Churchill.

You can’t take them out. By you can slide them out enough to smell the foot. Just don’t actually touch them with your nose. And if you handle a naked cigar with your bare fingers then buy it unless you’ve just washed your hands first.Cigar-20109325 said:I didn't know I could take it out of the cello.

Google
Plenty of cigar etiquette to be found. I believe in not removing it from the cello unless you have already paid for it.
also, don’t put the cigar in your mouth then ask to use someone’s cutter.
