Popular Post westg Posted September 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 Keep them there! Mix it up, I store all my Tubos in the tubes as far back as 1974 . You won't be disappointed. There are many varying opinions but give yourself the opportunity to find out for yourself. Now they look Churchills . R&J Churchill age particularly well. Give them five if you can and they will become seriously good . I did give Rob one and he put it through the wash . All the best . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fugu Posted September 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 A subject that pops up every now and then. Here’s how I handle it: In new production / fresh boxes, open each tube and remove the cigar. Carefully wipe off any mould dusting. Store them open in the humi (or loosely in empty boxes with the lid left open a crack) so as to balance tobacco moisture for three to four weeks minimum. Slip back into their tube (while not scratching the wrapper!) and leave them untouched until “slaughtering”. That said, some I leave alone, in particular if received with some age already. Check two or three and when I find them fine, their’e good to go into storage. And should I find some dusting down the road (10 or 20 yrs from now, may I face the blessing) it’s a non-issue. That being said, these fine Churchills I’d carefully prepare prior to long-term storage. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The jury is in: cigars age more slowly in tubos and they preserve the flavours. For very long term storage they seem hard to beat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BrightonCorgi Posted September 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 I keep all cigars in any presentation as they were sold. The seal on a tubo is not totally air tight so no reason to unscrew. If you had a desktop humidor and wanted a layout to show off a bit you could unscrew the tubos and place cap under the foot, but why bother. I am big fan of tubos. When Habanos inventory started dying out, Monte Petite tubos were one of the boxes I bought before it was too late. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBirdman Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 100% in favor of storing them in the tubes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Have always stored in tubes. The ones that stand out to me are Romeo Churchills, Sig II and Sig V. For some reason they have all performed better than their other presentations. Always would buy a 10 ct box of the Romeo Churchill Tubos every year when they were readily available. Kept me in constant supply of well aged examples. Wont buy in dress box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tstew75 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Have never given em any special treatment, those tubes are aren't that airtight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Sorry to object as for air tightness: Tubos - and especially those with the newer “plug-on” caps (like in the Churchills pictured) - make for an almost perfect gas-tight seal. That’s the main reason why they tend to develop blotches of mould more readily as in standard packaging. This holding in particular for summertime box dates, when humidity on the island is high and can be locked in in moister tobacco on packaging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I love the wafting cedar aroma when a tubo cigar is taken out of the tube. Extra bonus lighting the cigar with the cedar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
