Tube storage

I leave them in the tube but take the cap off

If I lay them East to West in the humi I take the cap off, but, North to South I leave it on.

But if you happen to turn your humi, do you then put the caps back on?

What if the humidor is displayed at an angle and the tubes lay NW to SE, unscrew the cap half-way?

On a serious note, are tubes, functionally, for anything aside from protecting the cigar in your pocket or whatever when you go out?

Nope. Personally, I just think they're a marketing ploy.

I am guessing cigar tubes are a marking tool like BW said and a way to protect the cigar when transporting it. But let me ask this is it common to buy a box of cigars in tubes? I trying to think if I ever had a box like that but maybe once anyhow I think it's just a nice way to sell a single and to keep other people from putting thier paws on it in the store. All that being said I leave my cigars in the tube and maybe a few times a year I open the tubes that can be opened and sing them a song just so they don't feel segregated or unwanted.

Yeah, they sell boxes of cigars in tubes. La Aurora Preferidos comes to mind. A long time ago, in a galaxay far away, I know a guy that bought a box of Macanudo Robusto Portfinos and they were all in tubes

Tubes also have that thin liner of cedar

I use them when travelling, or taking one to work. 3/4 to prevent my cigars from getting broken and 1/4 because i think this protects them from the elements a bit...
