Aluminum Tubos are very poorly sealed. Of course the cigars within will last longer than those that are not if left in the open. From experiences in the past and from other discussions, I would not allow them to be out of a humidor for more than two weeks, maybe three weeks tops.
Glass Tubos, for the most part provide a much better seal, and will keep the cigar in good condition, outside of a humidor for a month or even two, but I wouldn't push it much longer than that! Be sure to check out the seal on the style of glass tubo in question, because a few styles are very poorly sealed. It should be obvious upon inspection which styles have the better seals.
