Box Storage

[seadub]

So I had to break down and start a Coolerdor. The first box I got in is a Padron 1926 Maddie #35 and it's got a plastic wrap around it! So the question is whether it's better to remove the wrap for storage or leave the wrap on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I'm not 100% sure but I would imagine you want the cigars to breath... with the plastic wrap they probably can't.

Oh no...you can't put a whole box of #35's in a new coolerdor. You'd better send them immediately to me so I can smoke, er, store them properly....

My vote would be plastic off so the little beauties can breathe properly.

Cello on / off has been debated a million times, so if that question comes up, search is your buddy there...

Best Regards - B.B.S.

I would take the plastic off.

Most DEFINITELY cello off the box. The more you can have active RH entering into their home, the better off your smokes will be. Of course, the actualy % of RH is up to you and your druthers, but you best let em breathe!!

plastic off / cello on works for me...

 

[hojadepuro]

if its cele then it doesnt matter, but just to be sure you can take it off. I mean, dont you at least want to check them out before storing them away? I know I would have to.

Active RH? Where can I get some of this active RH? How does it differ from inactive RH? :laugh:

I would say that it does not matter.

Hardy har har... very funny!!! Yeah, stupid of me, I should have expressed myself better. Active (versus passive) humidification. In other words Cigar Oasis versus the usual suspects. I'm sure its all a matter of taste, but kicking up the distribution and circulation of the humidity is what I was after.

D'OH! :whistling:

I always take the plastic wrap off the box...Personal preference.

I figure if the cigar makers ship and store with the cello on, I leave it on. Whats's good for them is good for me.

Plastic off; have to check out the kids every once and a while...

 

[sack]

agree with looking at the cigars when first bought, but in min ron nee's book he suggests not touching the plastic , for long term storage.

I agree with this statement because when we have extra boxes at the tinderbox, I write the sku number on the plastic and put it up for storage...

Now since they are going into YOUR cooler, I would check just to make sure the smokes are ok. All companies make mistakes and so anything could happen when shipping. :thumbs:
