Man-O-Wars

[rsim]

i just saw that there are two new man-o-wars virtue and armada i really like the ruination line and i was wondering if anyone has had these two cigars and how they were- the armada seems to be unreasonably high priced........thanks

I did a review of the MOW Virtue here:

The Armada is a little too pricey for me, but the Virtue is in my top 10 favorite cigars.

It single-handedly gave me an appreciation for connecticuts.

I love the MOW series - haven't had a Armada though.... Virtues are great.

Virtue has been out for almost a year now. It is excellent. As long as you don't pay the MSRP cigar.com asks for, it's worth every penny of $4 they cost on the jam.

virtue is all about the size for me!
My definitie favorie was the petite lonsdale (or whatever they named it.)

This is actually one of the VERY FEW cigars where I go BIGGER.

This one I found mighty tasty in a torpedo or toro size (which are both, for me, quite big).


It's also one of the most complex connies I've had to date. Just allowing the smoke to exit your mouth leaves behind flavours of freshly baked bread, sweet wood and a slight nuttiness.

But retrohaling brings about an entirely new layer of spicy-sweet vanilla.

This and the San Cristobal Seleccion del Sol are two smokes where I found vanilla to be a very prominent flavour, and I LOVED it.

This is the first I'm hearing of these, thanks! I definitely want to try them. I'm up for anything MoW (still haven't had the Armada, though, hopefully I'll find a deal on them at CI/Ccom someday).

I had two man o wars the past 2 weeks and its a good smoke but one dimensional. Its good flavor, healthy level of smoke, but found myself getting bored of it.

Is this just the regular Man o' War line?

I like it, but I can see what you mean. It's got nice flavours, but it's not a particularly complex cigar full of transitions or anything.


To be honest, though, I find the Ruination to be more "boring".

It's yet another stick where it seemed to me that strength was more of a goal than flavour. It just kind of tasted like dirt and wood, but gives you a hell of a nic buzz.

That's pretty much the antithesis of what I look for in a cigar.
