Product Quality Issue with Cigar Bands

I have been smoking cigars since the late 1980's and I have to say that I have never had so many issues with the glue of the cigar band braking the wrapper of the cigar.  I would have to guess that it has been a real bad issue in the last six or eight years.  I will also guess that it is about 20 to 30% rate issue.  With all the big bands and double bands on cigars now a days seems to be one symptom.  Then, just plain old product quality of gluing the bands on must be a big problem.

Here is the Man O War Skull Crusher

Here is two different Latitude Zero cigars with the same issue
