You mean Tubos? I throw them out or use them to conceal certain things during road trips.

Sometimes I used them as impromptu carrying cases for single cigars, for protection.

Otherwise I'll bring em to my Chem Lab just in case I need some more test tubes...

I just use them to store other singles if I am taking them to the golf course, or on a trip, that way I know they wont get busted up. And I didn't have to pay for a herf-a-dor.

I thought this too, until I started going to herfs with 15+ sticks. Carrying that many tubos is a PITA.

I like to play jokes on other BABOTL's and give them Creamosa's in Davidoff tubos. J/K, they mostly just sit in a box collecting dust. I can't quite bring myself to throw them all away.

From the looks of it, no. I would guess that some tweaker probably thought they could improve the performance of a turbocharger by welding extentions to every other vane.

Default Re: Turbos???

I usually keep my Tubos so that I can store single cigars when I go fishing or other places that might involve some damage to cigar that is not protected. Other then that, I like to look at and cherish them.

If it's a tubo that has a non-tubo version, I may refill it or I toss them. Some churchill tubos I may save and put a smaller cigar in for travel.
