Why does a cigar explode?

I have some gurkha warlord that for lack of a better discription are exploding? Kinda like the filler expands and blows the wrapper out.

Had this happened to anyone before? Does anyone know why?

It's because you bought a Gurkha.

a lot of cigars have fragile wrappers that will explode in colder weather conditions. Dry cigars can do the same pretty easy as well.

I saw that happen to a friend smoking an Olivia Serie G. I blamed it on him smoking it like a cigarette.

I've had it happen to many types of cigars but some of it has to do with maybe it being over humidified and then being in cold weather and expanding faster than it should and the wrapper being fragile and then POP! Also it's a turdkha so what else is there to expect?
