I would take the cello off, number it, store it, and put a numbered band on the cigar. Then you need to record the date time, price, and also temperature and humidity of the cigar. Every month you need to update the record. If you notice that the cigar seems to change humidity too rapidly you need to put the cello back on. Also notice if the ammonia smell builds up on cigars with the cello on so that you can remove it. I have noticed that CCs take a lot more attention to get this just right. You might have to check them bi-weekly. Any that have been left in the cello so long that they have turned yellow are suspect and need to be sent to me to be checked out. Hope this helps.
