Like a newbie, I ask dumb questions. This is the first time I've bought five packs so I didn't know how they'd be packaged. I was thinking they'd be like convenience store cigars, packaged in a cardboard pack with cello around it, and I was concerned about the cardboard in my humidor. From what you've said, sounds like they come in a plastic baggie. If that's the case, seems like you could leave one end open and they'd be o.k. I'd like to know how other folks handle it.
