tubos and mold.

My thoughts exactly Tony. My guess is the rh is higher in the tubo given the cedar wrap. Maybe the cedar wrap holds the rh close to the wrapper which creates a wetter wrapper. Either way, Habanos SA does not recommend storing their cigars in tubos. The tubo is meant as a means to transport a cigar, not store it. I had this debate with a well known manufacturer tht will remain nameless. Their rep swore that with proper storage mold will never happen in a tubo. He sent me 8. All 8 had mold, directly from their state of the art humidified storage whatever they have he spoke of. Let's just say he didn't return my email with the pics of the cigars covered in mold.... Tubos can suck it.

I've just been removing the caps on the 3x3s that I have. Took several out of the tubes at first, but don't like to have them in the humi naked. I tend to rummage through looking for a specific stick and they are never on the top when I want them. (Same reason many leave the cellos on.) If I ever find mold on one that has been left in the tube with the cap off, I will definitely remove all of them from the tubes

Tubo's are great, and often gorgeous to look at...however, I won't store in them. I keep them, for times when maybe I want to take just 1 cigar with me somewhere, so I don't have to carry my 5ct herfador. I do however, dislike having naked sticks in my humi. #1stWorldProblems

Weird, I don't see how a Cuban tubo would be different then any other. Obviously it could be storage from where ever they came from really. Personally I think the cedar wrap has the biggest influence on the mold.

Oh I always check any cigars I buy with sleeves or tubos. I normally shy away form buying them because it pretty much is their (supplier) storage. However, I have had a few tubos in the past get it in my wineador and I keep that sucker at 60-62. Made no sense really. I do not buy many NC with them, but I can remember and Avo and a Fuente having that issue back in the day before I started pulling cigars out of tubos, cedar sleeves, paper wraps, etc...
