ManO'War Virtue

Anyone Tried This New Release? Sounded Interesting On Cigar.com. Thanks!

DropTheE · 08-18-2010, 05:01 PM

I enjoyed it. I had the toro. Is cigar selling by single only or by box. CI is doing the single only thing. Cbid you can get five packs for a good deal and try them out.

Is It As Advertised? I.E. Less Full Bodied Than The Original MOW & Ruination?
Worthy Of A Box?

Thanks!

Just had one about a week ago...or should I say weak ago

This is a very mild cigar. I am not a full body cigar lover and I still found it lacking. I've got one more to try so we'll see how it goes but for right now a box is something that I would avoid.

Thanks! I Like FB Sticks Most Of The Time, So Probably Not In My Flavor Profile.

Emjaysmash · 08-18-2010, 05:22 PM

I really want to try one of these!

If you do get some, please review!

Sr Mike · 08-18-2010, 05:42 PM

I was gifted one of these, found it to be a mild strength, medium body smoke. Had some descent qualities, the flavors were rather consistent, but did not become boring. I would certainly age a couple, I think they have good potential. I prefer full body cigars and I enjoyed the MOW Virtue I had.

Ratters · 08-18-2010, 05:51 PM

I found it to taste like a bland MOW. I really like the MOW and the Ruination, don't see a need to smoke another Virtue.

maninblack · 08-18-2010, 09:28 PM

I like my sticks to be ass kickers so this would not be up my alley. I'll stick with the ruinations, they are awesome smokes!

rgrecco · 08-18-2010, 10:00 PM

Well... I usually like my smokes to be Full Bodied... But I really enjoyed this Milder version of the MOW...

I will let the pictures do the talking...

(sorry about the quality its a cellphone camera)

Chingas · 08-18-2010, 10:30 PM

Greg, its a nice change of pace but certainly mild. Not mild to med, just mild.

But if it's breakfast time, you got a coffee in hand and the morning dew is just drying off the freshly cut grass, than this is a great stick to fit the bill. I wish I still had one lying around, just gifted my last out, otherwise I'd love to make use of that addy of yours!

jimmyk26 · 08-18-2010, 11:05 PM

I just picked up some of the Lonsdales, and they are fantastic! Rich and nutty with a nice sweetness to them, I am going to pick up a box when I am Bethlehem, PA next week. I can't say much about the other sizes, but if you can find some Londsdales, I don't think you'll be disappointed. These are a great addition to the MOW line, we just need them to come up more often on sale.

If it's anything like a lighter cousin of a Man O' War Torpedo or Ruination Belicoso, it's definitely going in the top 3 of the (ever expanding) "To Smoke" list. Adore the MOW line, and if this is anything like the rest of their work, I'll probably love it.

You've Already Done Enough, Brother!

Thanks For The Advice, All!

The Virtue is full bodied. I was surprised at the punch it has. I don' like it as much as the traditional ruination

SteelCityBoy · 09-29-2011, 07:31 PM

Smoked one tonight. It was my second one that I smoked. I wanted to try it again and give it another go because the first time it was rather mild for my tastes. Again, it was quite mild, but gave off a lot good smoke. Had a good even burn all the way through with no touch ups needed. Not a bad smoke but not one that I would go out of my way for again. I would rate it average by my taste. I hear that the Armada is really good. Gonna try and get my hands on one someday soon...

ktblunden · 09-29-2011, 08:14 PM

It's extremely mild. It would be a nice stick for beginners, but I honestly didn't find enough substance there to want to go back. The Puro Authentico is, in my opinion, the best thing Man O' War makes.

09-30-2011, 06:06 AM

Good post! I just got one in a sampler. I'll let that baby sit for 3-4mo.

Absolutely, I just received a 10 box e-mail offer from CI for the Puros. I might sell my golf clubs to buy a couple boxes of these great sticks!!!

The virtue is my least favorite MOW, the Puro is in my top 10.
The virtue doesn't offer me anything I crave, a great smoke for a beginner though like you fellas stated!

WittyUserName · 09-30-2011, 06:16 AM

I have smoked a couple and have not been impressed. Very mild smoke, not much to it at all.
