I there any reason I should break down my "5 packs" in my coolidor or even in the humidor. They are so easy to move around and stack but if it will help to break them down I will. Any good reasons to bust 'em up?

    Most people used to think the wrap around packs , bundles and boxes were the same thing as cello. I know I did, but then Andy told us that it was infact plastic wrap. So it doesn't breathe like cello. So I bust open everything now.

    Well, I usually open them but only to inspect them for damage or anything. Good to know that it is not cello.

    What grey said...I always inspect the condition when I get something online!! I've had some horror stories with shipping so I now check everything

    Thanks for the knowledge. I thought it was cello too. I'll be busting them up asap.

    I have the option of stacking my 5 packs in my Wineador but if you don't have that luxury I wouldn't worry too much as long they aren't damaged in some way. As long as they are in some kind of humidor I don't see the reason to break 'em down unless you are smoking them.

    Ditto this...unless you look at what you ordered you might be surprised months later and have some damaged goods at that time...that is highly ungood.
