this was discussed before and I have thought about it since then. Some people suggested taking the cigars out of the tube or they will dry out, but that doesn't make sense to me, if the tubes are in a humidor, how would they dry out, for it the moisture from the cigars can escape the tube, moisture of the humidor would back in would it not? But I would also think it makes sense that by leaving in a tube the cigars could not age well. I have a bundle of the Carlos Torano Gran Reserve or whatever it is called, yes a tubed bundle!, and I still have these in their tubes.
