Singles, 3s or 5s are generally packaged in cardboard or paper boxes, and the individual cigars come wrapped in a cellophane sleeve. In Cuban cigars, however, only machine-made cigars come in cellophane.
Cabinet selection cigars generally come packaged without cellophane, and (especially when purchased in 50s) often come in the wooden box tied together in a bundle with a silk ribbon with the maker's name and the cigar model stated on the silk ribbon. Sometimes they come without cigar bands (occasionally referred to as "naked").
