Silly Cigar question - but my search efforts didn't find the thread that discusses this.
When you buy a box of cigars, and those 'gars are in individual clear plastic wrap......
- Transfer them to the humidor, and keep them in the plastic wrapper?
- Transfer them to the humidor, after taking them out of the plastic wrapper?
What's the right thing to do?

The cello protects the wrapper leaf, I leave them on it’s helpful when rotating stock to protect them. However the forbidden fruits from the unnamed island never has cello so there’s that
Don’t wait for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.

Either in the cello or nekid Your choice...As AlanS said the cello offers protection should the cigar get moved about.

I agree with all above. Personally I leave mine the way they arrive.

I always leave the cello on. I've got tupperdores and things get jostled around quite a bit. Maybe if I had a fancy desktop humidor for my finer smokes, I might think about it.

Not silly but whatever you prefer. I leave mine on asit protects the cigar more. When I find a cigar without it they tend to get damaged a bit so I have to smoke it

Cellophane is porous, so if you're going to keep them a while, your cigars should "breathe" OK. I usually open/cut one end of the cellophane just to be sure.
Insert witty comment here ...

I keep everything in the cellophane. I don't think there is a right or wrong way with this topic. Like many things involving cigars, it seems to boil down to preference.

I leave the cello on for a couple reasons...
1) I'm lazy. Even if it was better to take them all off, I still wouldn't bother
2) I've taken to dating my cigars to see how long they've been sitting. Don't want to write on the wrapper with sharpie marker.
3) The cello does offer protection - and probably a bit of a buffer for rH swingsNever attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
