Should I store cigars inside the glass or aluminum tube?

If you own a humidor, it is best to remove the tubes before placing your cigars in the humidor. The tubes are ideal for protecting cigars when you travel, be it in your pocket, briefcase or luggage. Cigars, however, will age better if stored in the humidor without the tubes because they need air to circulate. Consider buying a humidor if you plan to keep the cigars for a long time.
