I'm an expert witness on AJ sticks. Solid price, construction and flavor. However, I've never hand any luck with 5V...either burn wonky or plugged, to the point I don't buy em.
I'm not the biggest AJ ho by any means, but I've not noticed a construction issue with his sticks anymore than any other blender. I would guess just a string of bad luck.
I can feel the hate. I blame rain its all his fault... But hopefully it is just a long string of bad luck for me, but I think I'll avoid my other aj sticks for a little while.
I hope it's a fluke. I just bought a DD ten pack of 5 Vegas "A"s a few weeks back. And I'm sure I have some older "A"s rolling around in the bottom of the cooler too. And to be precise, Isn't your cigar in your pic the single A, and not the triple A? Don't remember if I've had the "AAA". I like the single "A" but, I don't think AJ blended the single "A" anyway, did he? (Edit: Sorry. Nevermind. I didn't realize that the main band on both the A and AAA were identical.)
Out of the 25+ AAA's I've had this is only the second I've had issues with, and I was given this one about two years ago.
A cigar is man made! Not one will be the exact same and yeah there are some duds out there from every line. Now if aj rolled them himself for you then I can see the point but the fact is aj blends! This does not mean everything he's had a hand in comes from the same factory. I'm not a huge aj fan but think that he does make a good corona!
