I have the same problem occasionaly. I live in south texas, so it is humid here as well, but I don't think the humidity is what is causing it. I had it happen to a man o war ruination yesterday, and have had it happen to quite a few different cigars. What I have always attributed it to is my initial cut being too deep sometimes. It seems when I cut it too far the wrap on the cigar is loose, and i find myself rolling it back on.
I have a 40 or so count humidor with 2 bovida 72s in there. I have noticed some of my cigars toward the end of the smoke, the wrapper is breaking up on me. Not all of them but a few. Now where I live is humid so I was thinking, maybe going outside and adding heat plus outdoor humidity is the problem.
I don't know though. My rh stays about 68 in humidor and between 67-71 degrees.
I've had this too, I'm thinking that the inside of the cigar is taking up more humidity/faster than the wrapper can handle, add heat and...you see. I'm not sure if time will even things out, or if you need to give these a little dry time before smoking. Still working on the same issue, both seem to help.

i would try both first. when you cut them make sure you are cutting off as little as possible. thats why i like the punch cut on any stick that is under 5" and not torpedo tipped. if you punch anything longer than that in my opinion you start to get the hole clogged and then you get the tar in your mouth. nothing worse that tasting the tar from a 'gar.
i had a airbender and i punched it. i ended up getting a clog in the hole and tried to guillotine it to get it to open back up. needless to say that didnt happen. when i smoke i tend to the wrapper wet from my saliva. when i guillotined it i ended up tearing the whole wrapper off not even half way through the 'gar. it was a train-wreck after that. ended up tossing it with more than half of it still left.
be careful to that you are not smoking too fast as well. the quicker you smoke the faster the heat will come through the stick and expand the filler.
hope this helps
