Tatuaje Black Tubos ... What I have found...

I've smoke about 18-24 of these. Several when they first came out but most in the last 2-3 months.

Personally I have found that taking them out of the tubes helps this cigar.
I ran a little experiment and left half of my boxes in sealed tubes and half completely out of tubes.
The ones out of tubes burn and smoke significantly better.
The ones in the tubes tend to go out several times, burn the filler much faster then the binder/wrapper. And not have as much flavor.

Another thing I notice is the tubed ones feel a little heavier, like they are holding moisture. Which would explain the burn on these I believe.

...just my personal experience. I love this cigar. And highly recommend it...just take it out of the tube. ;-)

Yes, as a rule, I take any cigar out of a tube to age...or at the very least, I take the cap off the tube (and leave the cigar in it)...

Took mine out of the tube within the first week. The blacks are smoking very well at this time.

I am up to my 3rd box of these and love them. I take them out of the tube immediately and allow them to rest. They have been smoking very well. Love them. Did I say that I Love them?:smokingco:tiphat:

I have at least a box of these in the Avanti. I still have them in their tubes. I have smoked a few of these & wasn't into them. Maybe I need to take your advice & take them outta the tubes.
