If you suspect your humidity is high in your cigars, which sounds like your's are, dry box them for a while before you smoke them, then let them sit for about 30 minutes where you are going to smoke them.
It will help even out things, so there will be less tendency for them to blow up.
Thin wrappers, especially cameroons are very susceptible to cracking to rapid changes in humidity.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Me again so did put 4 65% in wine humi and I am at 59% / 70F never been that low in % maybe its ok here in Vegas?

59 is fine and it'll prolly come back up in a day or 2. Don't let it go too much further down though. You'll be able to tell they're too dry if you (very) gently squeeze the cap and you hear cracking. The thinner wrappers are a little more fragile.
If you hear any cracks, then just moisren the tip before you cut.

And if you want to feel better about it. Move the hygrometer to the back of your box. You'll see the humidity rise.

How big is your wineador? A pic would be nice. I wouldn't sweat it. It'll get there unless you have a lot of wood inside and a lot of wood boxes. Wood eats up a lot of the humidity, especially if it's drafty. That's why I use plastic bins. I can use two bovedas, though I usually use four, and it will keep them (many hundreds) humming along for about a year until I need to recharge them; which I do with humi pillows, about four in a small zip bag left unzipped until they are nice and new feeling again and then I let them (humi pillows) dry back out to powder and reuse them as needed. I could be that your wood dried out a bit if there is a lot of it.
@VegasFrank I just heard someone call out Garafolo on the Cigar Authority... A guy from Vegas... by the name of frank. It sounds suspicious. Any idea who that was?
Hehehe yeah I wrote into the show. Ok Dave didn't like being made sport of, did he?

En Fuego in Henderson has a bunch of black works stuff and a really cool lounge. Not sure if the lounge is open now or not.
Update on this joint. Stay away. Lounge furniture is falling apart, no more black works, and the prices are literally the highest I've ever seen--to include casa Fuente.

They are pleasant relatively mild slightly sweet sticks ... this one worked out fine ( better than being plugged)
