I like to open them and smell them real quick as if I'm breathing in Dominican or Nicaraguan air from the factory!
+1 I do this too and my wife laughs telling me I am crazy.
You fvckers are so weird. P.S. I do the same thing.
really, you guys are strange.
i never open them. if i could prove that the tube has never been opened, i would be even happier. i dont want the air that is in there from the factory getting out. to me, tubes are made to be aged.
Most cigars, I take the tops off, but leave them in the tube. Some cigars though, like the Tatuaje tubos, I took out, because they had a tendency to just EXPLODE in the tubos (dunno why, but the wrappers would always pop and crack, even at like 64-66%rh.)

...slow aged.
Agreed with that whole thing. The one concession I will make is with the Tatuaje Red and Black tubos...I find the smoke a million times better if allowed to sit outside the tube for a few days prior to smoking, and even with that one concession, I still don't even open the tube until I plan to smoke the cigar.

i have a few tat reds and blacks are you saying i should take them out of the tubes because all of them burst?

I haven't had a single one burst on me, and I've purchased quite a few of both blends. Do whatever makes you comfortable, but be careful with the Reds, the wrappers can be delicate and may crack easily.
I've never had a Black or Red.... nor SEEN one in real life... Maybe I'm a Cigar Pauper... Maybe I'm Cheap.... Who Knows
I'm telling ya Lassy, if you would just forgo the burro show once a week you could stop smoking Swishers and graduate to real cigars.
You do YOUR life and I'll do MINE! I don't tell you to not sit outside the Retirement Home's Alzheiimer's ward with a box of chocolates and a Single Red Rose, YOU don't tell me to not go to BURRO SHOWS!
It's already been mentioned about how the tat red/blacks were a disaster however I find that a lot of the tubes I get (which I've lessened them) need to be opened to inspect the cigar unless they are clear. Why? Well besides the red/black tats I've had god of fires, ashton vsg's and some partagas black labels give me a surprise when I open them up. Now whenever I get a tube I look at it to make sure no damage is done to the wrapper or mold is on it.
