If you're talking about current production CC tubos, I question how airtight they are. I've had a couple that practically required hydraulic machinery to open, but I have others that will come apart by gravity if you hold them by the cap.

Tubos were developed for ease of transport...any aging effects are just icing on the cake. Personally, I put all my tubos in the humi...I figure if they're not particularly airtight, the humi will keep them good.
