Never heard that……never had that problem.
I did have one or two fivers that were ammonia bombs……must have been 5-10 years ago.
Truth be told I cant speak about recent Baitfish, all mine are many years old………and pretty good.
After Swisher Sweets bought Drew Estate in 2014, there were cap issues (…mostly unraveling…) starting in 2015. By then I had 3 mazos of the BF so stopped bidding on them. However I didn’t know about the issues until My-Brother-from-Another-Mother, Youngra, sent me a 5er of them in ‘15 and warned me about the caps. Iirc, when I finally got around to smoking them, they did have issues. But, it wasn’t only the Bait Fish, other MUWAT vitolas had similar problems too. I also had gifted UC cigars from around that 2015-2016 timeframe that had poorly applied caps.
You’re lucky that you didn’t experience the QC challenges during that window.
