cigars are too wet/humid. Lower your humidity.

I keep mine at or under 65%.

You smoke Gurkhas?

Yep. 65 is good. Try no to let mine get below 62.

Dry-boxing for a day before smoking may also help.

Also keep in mind they are more prone to splitting in cold weather.

Maduros are thicker and tougher generally speaking also. YMMV.

Rapid temp change will pop the wrapper in my experience. If you are cold weather smoking and go from hot to cold fast.

The wrapper can split for different reasons:

- If you are doing a straight cut, don't cut the entire cap off. The cap is what hold the wrapper in place.

- Sudden change in RH - mostly caused by sudden change in temperature. Commonly happen in winter - as mentioned above.

- Bad cigar construction

Cigars too dry will unravel just as much if not more than wet ones. I think most often for newer smokers it's the cut, they cut off too much.
