I usually remove the cigars from cellophane as it helps them age better, but from now on I'm leaving them on. It prevent damage to cigar when moving or transporting, if the cigar has beetles it would keep the isolated, and most importantly it keeps the cigars flavors from mixing with others.

It seems if they all age together without cellophane they can begin to all taste like each other.

I believe you are mistaken. Cellophane is a bio product made from plants.
1) There is no evidence that cigars age better or worse with cello, it is a personal preference.
2) Cellophane will limit damage when moving cigars around in a humidor or otherwise.
3) Since cellophane is plant based it is consumed by beetles just as readily as tobacco or paper.
4) Cellophane is permeable so it will allow flavored cigars to affect non flavored cigars. The only way to prevent this is to keep flavored cigars in a separate humidor.
