Best way to age tubos?

[JDoughty]

After opening and checking for unfortunate conditions like mold or damage, how do you prefer to age your tubos? Select one or let us know if you do something different. If you've tried any of these methods, how did they work for you? If you've tried more than one of these methods, how do they compare both in terms of speed of results and quality of results? 

A - Replace the cap and let it age in the closed tube in your humidor.

B - Remove the cap and leave it off, but leave the cigar inside the tube.

C - Remove the cigar completely from the tube and let it age naked in your humidor with full air flow around it.

D - Remove the cigar from the tube and put it in cello, a box or a bag in your humidor to limit air flow.

E - Put the tubo in a weird bodily orifice and hope for the best.

A - slow airflow restricted aging is my jam. If I pull out a 20+ year old Tubos 95% it’s going yo be great.

Combo of B then A for me. Take off the cap, inspect, let the cigar inside the tubo acclimatize for ~30 days then put the cap back on and leave it until you’re ready to torch.

I use method A for small packs because they are easier to fit in the humidor.  I use method D for large amounts, but the cigars go into a wood slide box, then in the humidor.

I’ve done/do A, B, and C…and I’ll throw in an extra, let’s call it Aa

Depends on the stick, how old it is, how long I plan to age it, and how experimental I’m feeling. Sometimes with the same box of tubos I’ll mix it up and do all 4. 
 

*Aa = after inspecting, I’ll put the cap on slightly -not enough to tighten it, so think like it’s just cracked open

Very sensible answers. No one seems to have picked option E. 😁
