Certainly. As you've stated, tubos aren't exactly "sealed", but I believe they make a fine slow aging vessel. Also I believe taking the caps off, or loosening them, will allow more air to circulate thus aging cigars faster.
But I think we agree faster does not equal better.
To go a little further, I would not remove cigars from their tubes for storage. Loosening caps on cigars I plan to smoke relatively soon is enough.
Side issue - I prefer to keep cello on, because it offers a nice layer of protection in handling and future transit. Cigars don't generally come home and stay put, they're rotated, traded, etc. I don't believe cello hinders nor improves the aging process to any degree worth mentioning.
