There's a guy from Billings on here, but I think he keeps his cigars in his sock drawer.
I would suspect "over" humidification rather than under. If the cigar appears to swell, the wrapper cracks and unravels, then the interior of the cigar is more moist than the wrapper, and when it heats up during smoking it expands and puts pressure on the wrapper.............and, well, there you go.
An under-humidified cigar would burn fast and hot, and unraveling would not be the problem, at least in my experience.
I try to keep my cigars between 60-65 % rh. YMMV
