Simple temperature difference can also cause this(as humidity is relative to temperature). Most places have gotten cooler(even inside) by now. Its cheaper to run the heat lower so the lounge may be a slight bit cooler than the humidor itself, and that difference in temperature can cause the humidity within the cigar to skyrocket(some water vapor may actually be condensing on the wrapper acting as a fire retardant). I typically expect to have a lot of burn issues when I smoke outside and its below 60 for the same reason.
