Thanks for all your help.

Barring any accidents... aside from possibly making identification difficult and running the likelihood of chipping up the feet of uncelloed cigars if you move them around much, nah, it won't hurt anything.
I don't personally care much for vertical storage of loose cigars because I find it clumsy, pull one or two out, the whole forest falls over. The exception in my case is that I do store sealed mazos (the cellophane wrapped bricks of 20-25 cigars) whichever way they fit better; on their side or on their foot, with longer cigars typically ending up on their side.
A jar humidor would allow you to store them vertically without the "forest falling over" (and possibly damaging cigars in the process) when you remove a cigar, but, all the other issues still remain.
