Need some Advice

When a cigar is in a glass tube does that help keep it at the right smoking consistency, or are the cedar tubes better? I am adding to this: I am asking this because sometimes I have come across people trying to get rid of glass tubes their cigars came in and I am thinking why aren't they using it for a different cigar? Would it help Al if his cigars were in tubes in the humidor?

It keeps it level longer than if it were by itself, but it will eventually equalize with its surrounding rh... but whats all that got to do with the temp problem?

I was wondering if putting cigars in a glass tube would be beneficial, not that I thought it would end his problem. I have always had a curiosity about class tubed cigars and the reason behind people not recycling those tubes. I felt it could be answered within this thread without creating a new thread and I suppose I did get my answer. Thank you so much for your response and caring enough to add your concerns about it's proper placement.

now if you could find some efficient way to seal the tubes, cinda, you could probably use them as a substitute to a plastic bag...

and i wasn't making that comment to question placement, just to say i didn't think it would solve Al's problem as you had suggested it might.

I had no idea homedepot sold wine cellars/coolers, Rev. I'm going to see if I can pick one up suitable for cigars, assuming wine coolers are also capable of keeping humidity constant. But any "self cooling" products should be good at isolating external elements.

hmm... i was just thinking you could get one big enough to put your desktop humi inside... but yeah, check out those specs, see what the warmest temp they'll keep is and if they'll hold an rh without drying it... either way i'd ask the Home depot guys a million questions before buying one... but let me know if it works out that way, might be something to look into.
