Ok here is another question from the new guy. Should I take my cigars out of there tube since i am putting them in my humidor? Or should i just put the whole thing in my humidor?
Kuzi, do you know why some of the more "higher" end cigars don't come with tubes or celo? Like Fuente Anejo, opus x, padron 26/64..?
The Anejo and Opus both come with cello. In fact the cello for both has gold lettering on it. As for why other premiums have no cello, I would guess it's just the manufacturer thinks it looks better that way.
I'd agree with looks, and also because I'd imagine they probably intend for a higher end cigar to be box aged, in which case the protection offered by cellophane would not be needed. Of course, this is all assumption on my part, I really have no idea what their reasoning is behind anything.

Thanks Scrambler, for some reason my anejo didn't come with one..

The more I think about it, I'd agree with your assumption.. Makes sense to me at least. All I know I feel that cigars that have some protection rather than being naked would do better in a humi with all other kinds of cigars, though I may just be wrong on that.

They absolutely would do better with protection, that's why I like to keep the cellophane on any loose sticks I have. In the box, however, I don't care one way or the other, since I keep the cigars in the box and only handle them when I'm about to smoke one.

That may be the intent, but the truth is that most of those cigars have such limited availability, they rarely get sold as boxes. Dealers won't sell one customer that many.

I wonder if dealers won't or if ccom and other online shops won't due to the limited availability + the massive customer base as compared to your typical B&M. I'm pretty sure that if I walked into a shop around here and wanted to buy a box of OpusX they'd be falling all over themselves to get my money and send me on my way. In reality, they don't care if everyone gets a slice of the pie, just that they get their money.

Maybe. My B&M has a 2-of-any-size, 4-total-max policy on OpusX's.

All the hard to find (Opus, Anejo, Hemingway Maduro, certain Ashtons, etc) are the same around here - 2 per person per day. There is some wiggle room for regular customers, but they're not gonna sell you a box. They'd rather keep them on the shelf because it brings in business. They're all gonna get sold one way or the other, but there is likely to be more sales of other stuff if they ration these.
Interesting point, you guys are probably right...I suppose that having the cigars on the shelf with a limit would see people more inclined to buy other cigars as well.

consider yourselves lucky that you have a cigar shop near by that has the good ones, the one's around me really don't have the hard to find sticks..

I feel your pain. I wouldn't even consider the shops around my hometown to be official "B&M", they usually only carry about 5 different boxes of cigars in an either overly or under humidified display. If I buy sticks from a B&M, it means I'm at least 80 miles from home. Thank god for ccom
