If you enjoy a slight woody / cedar note to your cigars leave them in the tube. From a storage point of view it doesn't make much difference except perhaps that sealed tube cigars will age slower (and some say better) than same cigars without a tube.

Personally, I leave them in the tubes caps on. If you think about it, they were packaged and boxed this way, have sat in storage this way,

sat for x amount of time with the merchant this way - why take them out or remove the caps?

I do understand why some might remove them, or remove the caps, and I do think it takes somewhat longer for tubed cigars to acclimatize to

personal storage conditions, but again, I just leave them be.
