Cigrmaster and I were discussing a point recently with respect to whether cellophane should be removed from tobacco before it's stored. The two tobaccos that come to mind are Solani 660 Silver Flake and Wessex Gold Brick. To date, I have just taken the Solani flakes that come wrapped in cellophane and moved them into a ball jar, leaving the cellophane on. The same for the wessex gold brick bars. My preference would be to leave the cellophane on because (a) it's easier and I'm a lazy bastard, and (b) if I ever go to sell it in the future, it is wrapped in its original packaging. I guess the question is whether, after long term aging, the cellophane will impart a taste to the tobacco or whether it's completely neutral.
