I have some tubed cigars. They are in plastic transparent tubes. Look sealed. Should I take them out of the tubes before putting it in my humi, or keep them in the tubes in humi? Thanks.

    it doesnt matter.
    just keep them in the humidor.

    Could not humidity inside the tube be a lot lower than in humi in theory?

    +1. The only thing I would add here is Ive heard the aging process is slowed by leaving them in the tubes, so if thats your goal you may want to consider removing them from the tubes.

    Of course, as kuzi said, if you dont plan on them sticking around a long while before you spark em it shouldnt matter either way.

    it COULD. but in reality, it probably isnt. if you know that it has never been opened then its better. the other half of that is " wont opening it let out the atmosphere that the factory wanted to be in there?"

    dot worry about the rh being too low in a tube. just throw it in the humidor. treat it as if it was a cigar without a tube but it is in a tube.
