Cigars in tuppidors-keep plastic wrap or not?

Been a smoker for few years but lately my wooden desk humidor is having hard time closing and sealing. As such I've picked up a couple of tuppidors.
My question is do I remove the plastic wrap or leave it? These tuppidors will be for storage and only opened to restock the wooden humidior.

Plastic wrap? Are you referring to the cellophane that the cigar comes protected in? Shockingly it’s not plastic, it’s cellulose. It’s a natural substance made from plants. Back to your question. I would imagine it’s a 50/50 split in opinion to leave them in or go naked so I would say that is up to you. Experiment a little.... go some in and out and see where your tastes lead you. Some say they are better protected in the cellulose and some say they age better out. I keep mine in for the most part (unless they come naked) and have little to no issues with mine. A quick google search will yield a good read on the benefits of both. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the wealth of knowledge present within these halls.

Leave it on. The cello protects the smokes while you handle them, and I can't think of a good reason to take it off.

Thanks for the response. I've never let cigars just sit before. Usually only bought what I would smoke in a month. This is my first time storing them for longer than a month.
What up DZR.
