restoring dry cigars from online purchase

In addition to what Jonesy just mentioned above, if you gently roll it between your fingers next to your ear and hear a dry sound....then you may indeed have a dry cigar.

I just tried this on a few cigars I had in their boxes and some I had in my humi and I could ACTUALLY HEAR IT! When I read this I didn't think it would be that noticeable but the sound is definitely there on a dry cigar! Awesome trick.

Just for reassurance- It is okay to put cigars wrapped in cello inside my humidor, correct? Are there any benefits to removing or keeping the cello?
 
Look that last one up, it's the most often asked question on a cigar forum.

Cello is fine.
 
Yes, sir. I decided to leave all my cigars I got from a sampler in the cello because I'm afraid the flavors will mix and they'll all end up tasting like the same cigar. ??? Although, I could be wrong and there is no such thing as flavor mixing and I'm making my cigars less aesthetically pleasing for no reason.

EDIT: Using the fabulous search function I found some people that say, "cellophane does not affect taste." But, my concern is whether the flavors of cigars would mix if the cellophane wasn't on and the cigars were in my small humidor touching each other. Anybody experienced their cigars all tasting the same after leaving them all naked in a crowded humi?

You're worrying about stuff you don't need to worry about. If the cigar came with cello on, leave it on. If it came nekid. leave it nekid. The marring of cigar flavors is a problem only if they're in intimate contact with one another for twenty years or so.:rolleyes: All bets are off with flavored cigars which should be segregated. Better yet, not even owned.

I am thinking of smoking cigars. But I don't know where to start. I researched some online stores to buy some filter cigars but totally confuse which brand to use.

I have had some similar issues as the OP, but not because of the online store/retailer experience, but because Canada Post takes their sweet time time delivering cigars to me from traders on forums and here we are in the summer. They are packed beautifully, in layers and layers of plastic and bubble wrap, but the heat practically cooks the cigars?

I have two box humidors and a bar fridge turned coolador and I think the shock of the transition might damage the sticks.

So my solution is to take them out of the box and put them in tupperware with those bovedas or other controlling moisture packs.

At my last herf with friendsofhabanos guys I learned a lot about freezing hand rolled on site cigars to prevent buggy crud too.

Make sense?
