cracking and splitting

Amos Umwhat

well, looking through the other questions I may have found my answer in a post by Krieg, but I'll ask anyway. Why is it that I can buy a batch of cigars, give them a little time, and some will swell, split and crack and the rest from the same batch have no problems? I'm careful in lighting, thought "maybe it was right under the humidifier and got too moist", but really, all controllable variables being the same, still, some are fine and others will smoke for a while and then swell from the inside, wrapper splits and falls apart, very disturbing. So, am I doing something wrong? Were they rolled too tight? Is there a "Loki" of the cigar gods? Any help is appreciated.

thanks guys, you're pretty much on track where I was thinking too, but I hadn't thought about the temperature, possibly a factor here. No tight draw issues on the ones I've had problems with. Hopefully won't lose too many good smokes this way.
