Are you sure cigars need oxygen? I have heard that before...but I'm not so sure it's true.

I've actually tried MRN's recommended method of speeding up fermentation with a box of CC Punch Punch's that had a very strong amonia smell. Half the box stayed in the box, the other half went into my 20 count humidor and I opened it for a few hours a day. It took probably a bit more than a month but the smell was nearly gone. I threw it into an empty cab than placed it in my Vino for a week or so, and than compared. The ones that never got any ventillation still had a very strong amonia smell while the ventillated ones had a much less of that smell. This of course ruins the aging process. I also keep my cigars in zip lock bags and I also agree with as little air as possible. But no air, vacum sealed? No thanks.
