When purchasing our cigars at a tobacconist, whether buying them individually or in a full box, they are often wrapped in a plastic covering. This plastic "sleeve" is actually made of micro-perforated cellulose. Indeed, the cellophane covering your cigars is permeable, meaning that your cigars will continue to benefit from external air and humidity.
It is up to you to decide whether to remove or keep the cellophane on your cigars. However, there is some information you should know before making your choice. Indeed, the cellophane wrappers that wrap your cigars have many characteristics and are effective. Their main purpose is to protect the outer part of your cigars.
First of all, this individual protection allows you to preserve the aromas and characteristics of your cigars when you store different types in the same cigar humidor. Indeed, the aromas of the cigars will not escape, and thus there will be no mixing of flavors or smells. It is very important to keep the cellophane for this reason, especially if you have cigars with very strong scents and aromas.
Moreover, if you travel often or even rarely, it is useful to keep the cellophane on your cigars.Indeed, the protective packaging will protect them throughout the entire journey, and you will not find yourself with cigars in a sorry state once you reach your destination.
By leaving your cigar wrapped in its original cellophane, you will allow it to age more slowly than if you had removed it from the packaging. Since cellophane is permeable, the cigar still remains in contact with air and ambient humidity; however, this exposure is still minimized as much as possible, which explains why aging takes less time.
So, with all the points we have clarified, all that remains for you is to decide whether you want to remove the cellophane wrapping from your cigars or keep it. We advise you to keep it and only remove it before consumption.
