I store everything just as the manufacturer packaged them.
I remove any wrappers, seals, tubes, etc only to dig into and smoke the cigars. I leave the rest of the cigars as is until I consolidate the remaining cigars with other nearly empty boxes.
Here's how I see it: If you found a box of super ultra mega hard to find cigars, aged like your mother-in-law in glass tubes (or however), inside a perfectly humidified and cared for B&M shop - would you resist from buying them at a reasonable price? Why change things when you take them home?
edit to add: By "aged like your mother-in-law", I mean OLD - not pruned out.
