tubos

[kuma]

Just received 1/2 box of RyJ Shortchurch Hills tubos from Rob.  My question is; Should I remove the cigars from the tubes

and place them in my humi or keep them in the tubes while in the humi.  Not sure what to do here.

Any suggestions I'm all ears.

[Smallclub]

A good thing that the question was never asked before…

Imho placing them in your humidor in their sealed tubes will do just fine. I've kept my Cohiba Robustos and Pirámides in their tubes and they smoke great after a 2 year hold in my humidor at 68/68.

yes...take your spouse out to dinner and let them know they are special.  and do it before they realize you've spent more on tubos then you did their Valentine's Day gift    :-)

small what ever,  I just knew you would add your under valued 2 cents ops I mean under valued 2 euros

to the mix.

A search for "tubos storage" (a logical starting point IMO) turns up first page results with the unlikely thread titles of:

"Storing Tubos"

"Aging tubos cigars"

"How do you store your Tubos"

"Tube Storage"

And that goes back only to 2013. This forum has been up since 2005. The math can be done there.

No it would be cent. Euro is like dollars full value of one and up is Euro 1.5 etc is one euro and 50 cents.

Quite a outstanding fail at trying to be insulting and funny at same time.

Amazing. ROFL!!

Leave them in the tubo.  Can leave them sealed as well.  When I had a desktop humidor, sometimes I would prop the foot up with the cap if I had the room to do so, but is just for looks.  

Remember to light the cigar using the cedar in the tubo (unless you plan to save the tubo).

Why? This is in no way beneficial to the cigar and it's a sure way to burn your fingers… The combustion of these very thin sheets is uncontrollable…

You never used a cedar strip to light a cigar?  Very traditional method; some consideration is needed in which angle to hold the cedar.

[Baldy]

Check the condition of each cigar then store it whatever way you like.

Traditional method of who and where? To my knowledge and as far as I can remember it's mentioned in none of the classic books about cigars;

I understand why people would do it with a strip from the cedar interlayer of a box (although last time I've seen someone doing this I was a kid), but with the ultra thin sheet of a tubo, no way.

[rhcolbert]

Hijacked topic a bit, but I've been in a couple snooty shops that have cedar sticks (long matches really) that are around to light the cigars with. 

Im not going to the hassle of lighting the cedar to then light the cigar. One step toooooooo many

[NSXCIGAR]

Somehow, there seems to be some misunderstanding about this...

Using the strips from the cedar separators found in the boxes to light cigars is fine. Whether it's "traditional" I have no evidence of. But I like doing it from time to time. HOWEVER, using the cedar wrapping for individual cigars or that found inside tubos to light cigars is not advised. It's much thinner and as SC points out, will go up like flash paper and really isn't feasible. The cedar box separator sheets are probably 5 x thicker and burn much more slowly like a match, and are also longer to allow for proper lighting.

[Shikar]

Remove cigar from tube before lighting. When will that sticker pop up??

I save the cedar and the original box till the last cigar .....
Then I make a bonfire of all the paper/cedar/EL sheets/stickers/box.....and use it to light the last cigar as a celebration
This works better with SLB but best with large cabs of 50....
Again, please remember to remove cigar from tube before lighting. This is paramount. Rest is opinion.

Regards.

Cheap shots can be fun when they are delivered with the requisite humour and done among people who are mates. 

Outside of this they just reflect poorly on those involved. There is no room for them on FOH.

...and no...there is no need for anyone  to PM or e-mail me with their side. Tidy it up, move on, don't repeat.

Ok sounds like a good plan......
