I recently purchase a small humidor. Once I have the humidor seasoned and ready for the cigars do I remove the cellophane wrappers before placing in the box?
Your choice. Some people prefer to take them off, others like myself leaves them on. If you are like me and tend to dig through your humidor to find the stick you want they will be safer in their wrappers. Others will undoubtedly disagree with me but that's okay too...
Good advice you have already read I'm sure....get used to the idea of getting a bigger humidor next time...it's just the way it is. Cello is good and does help protect your cigars...I keep them on mine if they come that way and what I do is cut off both ends of the cello so that only the ends are exposed which allows the humidified air to at least get to it. Cello is permeable so that does give us a reasonable expectation that there won't be any worries for mold.
I've always kept the cello on for reasons already stated. In fact, if I obtain them without cello, I place them in cello I've saved from previous cigars. That's how much I try to protect my cigars from handling damage.
I've always removed cello in the past but I tend to buy by the bundle or box and like them to "meld/breath" in the Spanish cedar of the humi together. I'm getting over this but with reluctance.
