5 finger bags

So I assume the bags breathe a bit ??
If you guys are leaving them as is, do the sticks age adequately, or this for short term storage and shipping only?

Different quality / manufacture bags will behave differently. In theory, these bags should be airtight, but in practice, they sometimes aren't. Some might leak (breathe) a bit while others won't / will only leak minimally.

I personally don't usually mess around with the cheaper, thinner 5-finger bags, because, well, they suck. I've left cigars sealed in the thicker bags for years and I'll pull the particular cigar(s) out a few weeks before I plan on smoking them and they smoke great.
