Q: I'm considering placing an order for a
box of
Punch Rothschild cigars in the natural
wrapper and noticed two different options. One option is the "Rothschild (Cello)," and the other is just the "Rothschild." Can you explain what "cello" stands for, or means? At this point, I'm assuming cello means the cigars are individually cellophane wrapped?

A: You are correct sir! When you see "(Cello)" in the listing, that means the cigars come wrapped in cellophane wrappers like most premium
cigars. The other selection, also referred to as "
Cabinet Selection," is one in which the cigars are presented
without cello so they can be placed right into your
humidor. Since many cigar smokers remove the cello from their cigars before placing them in their humidor, the no cello option saves them some time. On the other
hand, cellos offer your cigars extra protection, especially if you travel with them and don't have a cigar
case.
