Back in the 90's a lot of rumors floated around about tubos just being a way to hide flaws, off colors, patch jobs...etc. I don't know if any of these were true or not (although I could see it being easier to sell off color smokes in the same box this way) but I really havn't run across any more issues with sticks in tubos than those without. I always kind of liked them in my younger days if I was out and about town and happend to grab a few sticks on the fly to throw in my pocket. This of course was before I became a regular cigar smoker and carried a cigar case for my everyday choices.
