Cigar Splitting

[alley00p]

I had that happen a couple of weeks ago at my B&M. His humidor is always perfect, but in this case, I fired up a H. Upmann and stepped outdoors, and it split about an inch from the end.

I chalked it up to higher humidity outside the store, and finished smoking the stick with no further problems. I just touched it up a tad with my torch and, end of problem.
