I say yes. You allow your 'gars to breathe better if you remove the wrapper.
I have actually read statements on both sides. I gleaned the following info:
If you are putting them into a humi which will be picked from regularly with a farely short rotation, the humidity will be able to more quickly stabalize within individual sticks if the cello is removed.
If you are putting them in a larger humi for long-term storage, you will not likely see a difference either way.
Personally, I leave them on if they came with one and I also have sticks that come with no cellow to start with, and as Beast also said, frankly do not see a difference. If you move your Humi around a lot, you may want to leave them on for the sole purpose of protecting the delicate wrappers

You know, I have no idea. I leave them on most of the time, unless I get some that didn't have wrappers, but then again I have 3 humi's now and can put wrapped in one box and unwrapped in another.
In the past, I've done without wrappers and I actually prefer the married flavors. I know a lot of people say you don't notice, but when your trained in culinary arts as I am, you can pick up the tiniest change in things. It's kind of neat
But anyway, now I mostly leave them on, because I've gotten in the habit of letting them rest for a few months before I make up my mind.

Makes no difference....its a personal choice! 
I'll store them the way I got them... if they come in cello then the cello stays on... and if I get them naked they stay naked... LOL! I haven't noticed much difference in the same cigars when aged both with and without cello. I agree with Allofus... personal preference.
