Just from my limited experience while keeping my cigars in a tupperware container while seasoning my humidor:
My sticks have been sitting for over a week right around 68 percent and they are PERFECT: before I found this forum, I never really knew how to properly care for my smokes, but keeping them at an ideal humidity makes a WORLD of difference. Check out the beads from Heartfelt Industries: once the humidor is properly seasoned, they should be able to keep your sticks at a constant humidity for quite some time.
I too have had a slight issue with them peeling occasionally, but this might be due to accidentally squeezing the wrapper too hard while handling the cigar: it doesn't happen all the time.
One thing I have found that greatly improves the cigar's draw and the way it burns: toast the end of the cigar before you actually light it and draw on it: rotate the stick between your fingers over a flame (don't actually touch the flame to the cigar) so you heat the surface evenly, say for about 30 seconds. Then, proceed to light the cigar by drawing on it repeatedly with the flame near the cigar (not directly touching it). From my experience this greatly helps the cigar to burn evenly and draw very nicely.
