Storing tubos in the humidor

[shadow king]

These tubes are metal and don't have caps on the ends. They pull apart in the middle. They seem pretty air tight to me.

They also take up a lot of room, I can see myself upgrading my humidor real quick. This dam slippery slope sure does pick up steam in a hurry LOL....


Thanks everyone for your input/suggestions.

La Aurora Preferidos Tubos? (only center-split tubes I can think of)
They are not airtight, and will balance with the air in your Humi.

I'll second that. Better for the long-term storage too (IMHO)

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.
