To Tube or not to Tube?

Tube on, tube off, cello on, cello off, in the cedar coffin, out of the cedar coffin.

I leave them how they come to me. Unless there is a mold issue (ie: last year's Anejos), I don't mess with them. They are shipped that way for a reason.

'll leave them in the tubes and keep an eye on them.

Thanks All !

Welcome. What part of Canada are you from?

I personally feel they do not age or taste as good when they are in the tubes...just from my experiences...

I've found that if you leave them in the tubes and just take the cap off of them you can allow them to age well and also be protected from outside elements/flavor mixing. This is just personal experience and ultimately what you do is your preference but like some others said, cigars are packed the way they are for a reason so don't try and mess with them too much.
