Splitting wrapper issues.

I suspect over humidification. When the filler and binder are at a higher rh, they will swell up when heated and split the outer wrapper. This can also occur when moving from a warm area(inside) to a very cold one(outside).

My first thought was an extreme temperature change, or the cigars were to moist.
