Default Re: Storing tubos in the humidor

I just want to hear everyone's opinions on this because this was a costly purchase and I don't want to efff em up. Thanks
Not true - only a few are air tight. If a B&M stores them in humidity, so should you, but there are a few exceptions to that rule.

MOST tubos, yes. But there are a few that won't - but you'll know those when you see them.

Unless they are 'imbued' with something, this is a great suggestion. I typically open the ends as well, but leave them in the tube to protect them.

I've had a few Acid's over the years, and they are not all bad. It's a rare occasion for me to even look that way, but I'm not a cigar-snob either.

I don't drink tutti-frutti coffee either. If I wanted a Vanilla flavored drink, I'd have a shake...... (Yes, I lean towards the coffe-snob side... )
