Are you also running from the Jewish Mafia?

Chill out folks.
If you read the thread, two admins have posted an attempt to smooth things over. No need to stir things up.

I did a search and my question is what turned up. I still wonder if the cigars in the tube will age the same as they would if I remove them. The cigars in question are R+J Havana Churchills.

Thank you, Mooch. Your references have lead me to the conclusion that it's all a matter of preference. I think I'm going to remove the caps and leave them in the tubes.

Thanks to all, and Happy Smoking!

Lol I'd rather go by M.J. or if need be "Hammer".

Glad I could help.

Welcome Michael, and please stay around a while.

This is a really great place once you get done pledging!

Personally, I like to leave the cap on and store tubos. Not sure why, it just hapens that way.

I purposely avoid tubos because they mold up on me. If I get Anejos and they're in cedar, I take it off for the same reason.
It's odd because I keep all my stuff down around 60%, as a rule. So by all means, stuff should not mold up. The fur doesn't harm anything, but I just don't dig it.
I think you made the right decision, and welcome to the asylum!!!

P.S.
Don't mind Mark, he was in a mood, and for good reason. He had a really rough day, and he's not generally a dick. I think Peter gave him a time-out.

You couldn't be more wrong.

MJ - Thank you and will do.

Floyd - You might enjoy this - I saw Pink Floyd with Syd.

As for those R+J tubos - Since I will only smoke one a year, I think I'm going to leave them in the box with the top off the tubes.

I had a feeling you were old from your intro! (just kidding, I promise!!)

I saw them on the Animals tour, but Syd was institutionalized by then. (he woulda probably fit in great here)

I'd love to hear about some of the acts you roadied for.

Back to the subject, I find that the Cohiba Siglo II's I have in the tubo are normally smoking much better than the ones from the box.

The time that I saw them was 1967 at the Shrine Exposition Hall in Los Angeles - Blue Cheer, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Jeff Beck Group and Pink Floyd. For about $2.25.

I roadied for Atlanta Rhythm Section, The Georgia Satellites, The SOS Band, and The Dazz Band.

And, yes I am old. I turned 60 last November...

What a lineup.

I was still in diapers in 67.

I didn't know Fleetwood Mac was touring in 67
