As you bought your XL back in April, it should be played in by now as March/April is the best time to get any new instrument as humidity is on the rise - it'll be played in by the end of summer and prepared for the lower humidity levels as winter sets in, though still be sure you warm it up well during the winter months and always try to keep it at a stable temperature and humidity level (which is easier said than done).
Buying a new instrument in late autumn or winter is probably the best time to get cracks as humidity levels are low.
Although you can get Howarth instruments with partially lined top joint bores with bushed toneholes which will further safeguard against cracks.
