Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Also on a side note, I have also had issues with the bands coming off some sticks, (Maybe 2 for the 30 I have).

Yep, you answered your question. That is why cello is used to prevent wrapper damage by the cigars moving around and rubbing against each other and the container they are in.

As far the bands, are they coming unglued or loose enough to slide off?

Then that's from the factory. Sometimes they don't use enough glue to keep them on. I have few like that.

nicks like that have no effect on the smoking experience whatsoever and are strictly cosmetically damaged.
They can of course be split and have bigger flakes at times and these have a little worse impact on the
smoking. But I think you are OK in this instance. And although I am no expert, I prefer to leave
the cello on, at least I did when cello came on my cigars. It breathes somewhat.
