Cedar wrapped cigar question

[tjhemp]

I'm wondering what everyone does with their cedar wrapped cigars. Do you take the cedar off before storing them or do you leave them wrapped. I've heard somewhere that the cedar wrapping can help encourage mold, although I'm not sure I believe that. I have however over the years had a number of them given to me and randomly when checking them have found a few with mold growing on the cigar under the cedar. Maybe it's just coincidence but it made me start to wonder. I don't usually have many cedar wrapped cigars but was looking at purchasing a number of them and now debating whether or not to pull the cedar prior to storage.
