Also, just for the record, I have had Maduro cigars sitting on top of natural cigars on top of rosado cigars on top of Dominican cigars, on top of Nic cigars etc..etc.. for years and I have never had any ill effects.

This comes down to personal prefference. Take two identical cigars, age one in cello and age one naked...smoke both after 8 months and decide for yourself.

Thanks Brian for this input. I have always thought in these terms but don't have the stripes to say this to others. I have a coupe of humis with different sticks in them and have no adverse effects of them 'marrying up' but that's just me. The wife claims I have no taste as it is but then I always tell her in reply,,,you married me. I like the cello only because it does give a certain amount of protection to the wrapper as I am always rummaging around and moving them.

This thread is gettign quit interesting witht hte last few posts.

I like to age alot of my smokes with out cello. I keep cello on some that I know i will be smoking soon that I may have to throw in a case or herfador to take out with me.

I agree with bigfoot to see, take one out of cello and leave on in for some time and see if there is a huge difference.

I do the same thing as Brian and also do not see a difference, " at all"---So as many have said it's a matter of preference--I like my girls naked by the way!

I do like the more intense smell of aging the sticks without the cellos on. Didn't think I would notice a difference since the cello is so thin, but the humidor has a very awesomely strong smell of cigars when I open it to grab one.

I like to age my cigars naked the smell of all the different types are enjoyable, I do keep some in cello but in a different humidor depending on cost or brand ! but either way works !
