Man O War Armada

11-02-2010, 02:22 PM

Have any of you guys seen or tried these? I love the MoW line, but these things are really pricey, for this price I can buy a box of FFOX. I do admit they look tasty and I am very curious, but I can't imagine paying $20 a stick... Maybe I'll get lucky and a fiver will turn up on the devil

Yeah, seems a little steep for me.

Once you start thinking about the cigars in that price level that you know are excellent it is hard to talk yourself into a new stick, especially one from a brand better know for budget smokes.

docdoty · 11-02-2010, 02:46 PM

I've smoked a few of them and they are a very good stick but just too expensive. I dont think that they are worth the money. For that price I would rather smoke a Padron 1964 45th annaversery maduro. But thats just me.

Bill86 · 11-02-2010, 02:54 PM

A $20 MoW!?!?! I'm sure they are good, but I don't think MoW has the right to charge that price for a stick just yet.....If I'm not mistaken most MoW's can be had for $5-$7 a stick.

Although the chest is 32 sticks for $500. $15 per stick and the box is humidified with a digital hygro. I can see it being justified if the price was a bit less. Maybe $12 a stick....and 32 box chest is overkill. This is just my opinion though. I've only smoked a few MoW and they were good.

Saw them come up for sale too....wanted to pull the trigger but will have to wait. Love the MoWs, price is definitely steep though

Word, I knew they were cheap, even virtue is like $4.00 a stick tops.

If you join cigar dot com cigar of the month club you get 3 MOW Armadas with your first shipment of sticks. After that you can just cancel your membership. $40 for 5 sticks plus 3 Armadas and a cutter. great deal if you ask me.

Cornrow_Wallis · 06-12-2011, 10:46 PM

CI used to give you a free 5 pack of the Armada with each MoW box purchase. Doesn't look like they do anymore. I kind of regret not pulling the trigger on a box of them while I had the chance.

Fordman4ever · 06-12-2011, 11:12 PM

I can't wait to try the ones that I have. I kinda hope that they're not as good as I think they're going to be cause they're way too expensive.

They don't have the right to create a cigar using more expensive materials for their customers who might want something like that?

I have 2 of these sitting in the humi. Bought 1 when they first came out and yet to smoke it, then I got one last week as a gift from Alex on cigar.com. Gonna wait to the right time to try one out whenever the "right" time may be..lol

CoreyD · 06-13-2011, 07:19 AM

Am I wrong in saying the Authenticos are same as the armadas if you read the lil jazz for both.

Drez · 06-13-2011, 07:58 AM

A little to pricey for me. But then again who know they may be worth the higher price if they are tasty enough.....

maninblack · 06-13-2011, 08:19 AM

Gotta say that they look good and the blend sounds great but there is no way in hell I'm buying a 20 dollar MOW.

dannysguitar · 06-13-2011, 12:01 PM

I smoked 1 on the golf course on Saturday. I liked it but nothing I would ever spend $20 on. Strong, yet balanced with sweetness and oak. If you want to try them, you may consider signing up for the cigar.com Cigar of the month club. First month comes with 3 MOW Armada's, then you can cancel after your first shipment...

issues · 06-13-2011, 12:36 PM

I am going to have to join the chorus here, they're a good smoke but not $15 or $20 good.

I enjoy the Puro Authentico a bit more. Much smaller ring gauge, similar flavor profile and quite a bit cheaper...

The box is very pretty though.

06-21-2011, 08:29 PM

I haven't tried any of these as of yet. I might if I can find them at a reasonable price. From what you guys are saying $15-$20 is a bit high for this cigar.

Blak Smyth · 07-07-2011, 09:29 AM

I ordered a MOW tin of ten cigars and one of them was the Armada.
I have yet to smoke it since it just arrived.
