Could a thin wrapper cause it to be ultra fragile and be more prone to cracking?

Where were you smoking it? This happens a lot when the ambient air where you're smoking is really dry; the tobacco toward the burning end expands (you can see this if you look at a cigar you've been smoking, particular thin and/or box-pressed cigars - they get larger toward the burning end) and the wrapper gets dried out quickly in the dry air and tends to crack.
