I've noticed the ammonia scent in many of the premium sticks I've bought lately, to include Opus and Anejo. It really does ruin the experience. I'm not sure if this implies a problem in production, perhaps too much are being produced too quickly. It's unfortunate that you have to wait a year or more to enjoy a nice stick, but it must be done. With Opus and Anejo, the reward is worth it.
