New ASA-CF spool so brittle it breaks in loading

Recently purchased a roll of ASA-CF for my x1c with AMS 2 Pro. Dried the filament for 12 hrs on the bed as recommended.

The roll is so brittle that it breaks off in the process of loading/identifying the spool, forcing me to fish it out of the PFTE tube. I’ve been printing with regular ASA for months with no issues. Tried multiple times, breaks off every time.

Issue mostly seems when retracting it, it winds it too tightly off to the side of the spool, where it snaps. however, even slight bends will make the filament snap too

Anyone have any experience with ASA-CF? Is this a bad spool? I put in a ticket, but would like some input from others.
