Well, you don't have to be Bob to answer, but his 911 post made me think...
We all debated this to death, several times over, a couple years ago, what I'm wondering is, have you changed your opinion?
I used to almost always remove the cello, unless I was sure I'd be resting that cigar for a long time. It just seemed that the cigars were a touch crisper, to me, when they'd been in the humidor a few weeks without the cellophane on.
Now, I almost never remove the cellophane until I'm ready to smoke, or sometimes an hour or two before.
Anyone else changed their habits, since last we beat the stuffings out of this subject??

I rotate my cigars frequently for even distribution of humidity and the cello helps protect the stick from damage.
But does it make any diff on the aging process?
Couldn't tell you yes or no.
I would say if it does it would be very marginal at best.
