Not all wrappers are going to split like that... I find mostly Cameroon wrappers give me this problem. I'm with you, I can rarely let new cigars rest for even a week before trying one.

Personally, I prefer corojo, habano and sun grown wrappers, and they tend to be a bit tougher.. so I don't run into any problems smoking them early.

This wont happen with all cigars. I remember when the original padilla miami's came out this was a huge issue.

Your patience will come as your stash grows - and grow, it will.

Another thing you might consider is finding another cigar shop where they keep their humi a bit dryer.

Whoa...splitting wrappers and Montana? You have another problem that patience isn't going to cure. This won't help your burn problems, but there is a trick you can use to stop the splitting wrappers. Before you clip, give the cigar a quick bath with tap water, just long enough to wet it. I usually roll it in my hands a few times. Clip, and light. Low humidity might crack it anyhow, but this usually staves it off till the last inch or so.

One more thing, its hygrometer, not hydrometer.
