Humidor question

Pthomp · December 2020

Being a novice at Cigar storage, this may sound basic to all of you. I would like to know if you take the plastic wrapper off the cigars before placing them in the humidor? I would think you would, but I don’t know. Thank you for any information.

I leave them on.

Personal preference, but many leave them on, it protects the wrapper, holds humidity a bit more for taking cigars on the go, and I've found more instances of mold on unwrapped cigars.

We've answered this question so many times, a search will find lots of answers.

I’ll be that guy.....

Just so you don’t drop that comment in public and be ridiculed and shamed at your local Brick and Mortar. It’s not plastic. It’s a plant based cellulose. Cellophane is the proper terminology. It’s also not a wrapper. Most of us enjoy a cigar with a wrapper on as that’s the leaf on the outside of the cigar. Not trying to be a dink just a little help.

Edit : Cedar wrapped cigars in cellophane are a pain in my arse. I’ve removed all the cedar wraps or sleeves to prevent mold. I will credit @IndustMech for that tip.

What they said.
@Pthomp sick around, introduce yourself and read though the forum. I am a bit of a noob myself, and have found this forum to be the best that I have found. Very informative, fun and welcoming.

I'm to lazy to take them off.....But they make great fire starters.

Some brands use plastic instead of cello, they don't burst into flame and smell bad when burnt.

You're supposed to take the cellophane off before you light it?

But, not the cedar wrap, right?
