[QUOTE="glpease, post: 897, member: 18"] To my view, there's another good reason to let the cigars breathe when you get them. A lot of companies are STILL pushing the leaf too early, not allowing it to complete the sweat, and then shipping them without enough settling time. They'll still outgas ammonia as a result, and if they're celo wrapped, they'll hang on to some of that. I can't tell you how many cigars I've bought that reeked, however subtly of ammonia when I pulled them out of the celo. So, unwrapped, into the humidor they go for a minimum of a week, usually two, before I'll try them. It gives the individual cigar a slightly more fair chance. I prefer to buy cigars that are not wrapped in celo, but many retailers are forced into stocking the celo wrapped ones to protect their delicate inventory from unthinking customers who "Squeeze the Charmin'."
