For this cigar my guess would be the cigar was rolled too tightly and the the split was caused by the heat expanding the filler tobacco to the point where it cracks the wrapper leaf.

Re: The exploding Gurkha Trick
classic gurkha... you gotta expect about 3 out of 4 to either tunnel or split open.

Re: The exploding Gurkha Trick
Strange, while smoking with a friend his cigar also turned into what he called a "shotgun" cigar and the end looked like it exploded similar to the picture. I had wondered whether he was squeezing the cigar too tight (as it looks like he does) or if he smoked it too fast. I didn't think that it could be the cigar manufactures fault that causes a cigar to explode like that.

Re: The exploding Gurkha Trick
I've noticed recently that my smokes seem to get very tight-feeling about an inch away from the band. Fearing that this might happen, I take the band off as soon as I can. Kind of like unbuttoning the top button of your pants after a night at the buffet. Haven't had any 'sploders since.

Also, if the ambient RH is very high, I think this might have something to do with it. Happened to me with a Monte once.
