Great advice either cello on or off. Early on in my cigar smoking I just kept everything out of box in 1 humi on shelves. Do to the amount of cigars I quickly acquired that initial stock lasted several years. The natural's basically lost all their flavor and end up tasting just like maduros they sat next too. Now what I do is box all cigars by type and size. This works well if you have a large cooler. I found I prefer removing the cello now only because after say 7-8 years most the cello turn dark yellow and start to fall apart around the cigar and ends up just making a mess in the box anyway.
