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.
