Indian Tabac Ltd. Reserve

[Neighbor]

Since I've joined this fine forum , I've bought and tried more different sticks than I ever have before . For my money the Indian Tabac Ltd. Reserve is still my favorite . My qusetion is , should I remove the wooden wrapper while in the humi ? Feel free to expound on this topic on the whys and why nots .

leave it on. It adds flavor and protects the wrapper. I've heard of people using it to light their cigar (I have never tried it).

I use cedar sticks to light my cigar all the time.

I believe it is meant to be left on until you smoke the cigar. That being said, depending on how long you're storing the cigars it may not make much of a difference.

P.S. I love Indian Tabac's as well, never had the Ltd. Reserve though. My favorite is the Super Fuerte.

Any cigars that come with cedar I leave on the cigar in the humi. I also have a bunch of cedar from boxes and five packs, which I spray with a bit of d.w. to season it. Let it dry, and interspace them with my cigars, in the humi.
I dont know if they do anything, but they sure look nice to me, and I also take a small strip and light my cigars with them. Something primal about it. ooogga oooga.

If you leave the cedar on, be sure to check under it from time to time. I had a tobacco beetle outbreak that started with this very cigar, and the beetle larvae were eating the tobacco under the wrapper. It was a fluke that I found it as soon as I did.

Yep,,leave it on and inspect any cigar you receive. I don't think you have any worries about mold with this line of cigars. I have quite a few of them and age them as they are a better smoke with about a year on them.
