Tubed cigars

[Alex]

My motto is:
If it comes in cello/tube, it stays in cello/tube. I personally crack the aluminum tubes open so the cigars can better acclimate to my preferred RH.

My opinions on tubes:
Pros = portability and protection
Cons = bulky for storage, can conceal mold

Search the board, I'm sure you'll find more useful info.

Are there any pros for storage? Portability and protection are necessary for transportation. What kind of protection you get if they lie in a humidor?
And, by the way, tubed cigars often priced higher than regular, for what we pay extra money?
