Test it yourself

Tubed cigars stay fresher and don't shrink this is the test buy 2 cigars say 2 D4s tubed take one out of the tube and leave them in the same humidor
give it say 6 months and see which of the 2 has shrunk.
Every cigar in my humidor thats not tubed has shrunk very slightly compared to the ones in the tubes
the bands on the tubed cigars don't slide up and down where's the untubed ones do the humidity is always between 68% and 69%
temperature varies between 18 and 19 test it yourself and see if you agree with what i've said.
I know keeping cigars in tubes takes up more space but if they look fresher and haven't shrunk i'm not that bothered.
