Man O' War Ruination Belicoso

[Kreth]

I picked up a single on cbid after winning another auction.

Humidor time: 1 month

Prelight: Construction looks nice. The wrapper has a nice sheen to it, with minimal veins. Prelight draw is moderate, and tastes of oak, leather and spice.

Burn: Burn was nice and even. Ash was nice and solid. Draw was moderate. Burn time was about 90 minutes.

Flavor: This cigar started out with a nice spice kick, similar to a DPG stick. Oak and leather were prominent, with a hint of cedar on the finish. The spice settled down after the initial blast, but still gave a nice kick, especially through the nose. The last third saw the spice pick back up a notch.

Summary: As with the regular MoW, *do not* smoke this stick on an empty stomach. Flavor was great, and I think I prefer this smoke over the regular MoW. But either is a good choice if you're looking for a spicy smoke.
