Aging new boxes question?

[SmokeProper]

That was sorta uncalled for. Unless you know him really well and can make that call. Can you Ryan? The cello debate here is huge and includes people with no boxes in their collection on up to people with more Opus X than Arturo himself.

Well said.

There are no stupid questions here only stupid answers and we just saw two

I'd take the box cello off and check the cigars.

you guys need to lighten up. I was just poking at him. Thread could say "do i leave cello on box?" or it could say "i just bought 5 boxes of the face, do i leave cello on box." :skew:

lol relax, go smoke a cigar

No problem Just please be courteous to our follow brothers. :stickbeat

Except for Greg and Lit. Feel free to abuse them.

I like to think that I know "what I'm doing" as I have quite a large collection, and to be honest, I think this is a great question.

When the issue is, "Do I leave the cellophane on the individual cigars," I have always been in the group that says it really doesn't matter.

However, the OP is asking a avery different question, as it is pertaining the the wrapping on the box. After looking at one of my boxes of "The Face" it appears to me that the wrapping has more of a plastic feel. This may disrupt the airflow through the box more than cellophane does to the cigars. I have to admit that I just threw the box in my wineador as is, but now I have taken the wrapping off.

IMHO, this was indeed a great question.

indeed a good question, which was indeed addressed several other times, which would indeed be found with the search function



















































lol once again just messin' around :skew:

Definitely leave it ON.

Why? Because cigars will get proper humidity...No worries there.

AND, if you sell or trade it later, it ads value that the box is sealed.

Sealed and shrink wrapped are two different things. Those smokes gotta breathe in the humitity. IMO.

So are the face 10 count boxes sealed or shrink wrapped does anyone know?

I have opened both sealed and shrink wrapped cigars that have rested in my humi for 5+ years...They were all fine.

Sealed boxes are meant to breathe, that's why they are sealed this way. Think about the many regular production boxes that sit in warehouses for months....They are sealed/shrink wrapped, stored on shelves, and delivered to customers in fine shape.

Mine was shrink wrapped and closed with one single nail. There was no label to cut that was sealing the box. Just the nail.

I've always said this, too...just think about all the boxes that sit in warehouses for long periods of time without issues. Also, a basic rule of thumb...if humidity can get out, humidity can get in.

I have an unopened box or two in my humi, and honestly it doesn't matter.
