Cigars cracking

I have my humidor set to 65, lately the humidity here in Georgia has been between 80-100. I’m wondering if raising the humidity in my humidor might fix this issue or if humidity outside is going to cause this regardless. Is there a way around this or possibly just the type of wrapper? This typically happens with the thinner/lighter colored wrappers

Take your cigars out of your humidor and let them acclimate. I usually keep them out for 30-60 minutes depending on the vitola.... bigger ring stays out longer. Play around with how long to keep them out and keep track.
@Vision ill try that again, been hesitant with it since last time I tried to acclimate it busted in the 30 minutes I had it out, then again it was during the winter so maybe that had its own effect
Not sure about Georgia but it's less than 50-60 RH in the winter so I just pull it out and smoke it. (yes.... pun intended)
Also... try putting a few in your regular humidor and a few in a double ziplock or air tight Tupperware both using the same Boveda.... see if that changes.
And just a heads up for next time..those under crown sun grown wrappers can be very delicate to begin with. Other than that…what he said
It won't hurt to pull them out the day before.

Sun grown and Cameroon are very delicate. They blow up on me all the time

In the last 1000 cigars I have had just 3 that have cracked. Must be lucky.
