Man O War

Giant & 49er Fan · 08-06-2009, 12:45 PM

There is a deal running on this cigar I am considering... anyone familiar? Looking for feedback.

Starscream · 08-06-2009, 12:49 PM

I've got a couple in the humi that people have sent me. I have yet to try one, but I hear good things.

Giant & 49er Fan · 08-06-2009, 12:52 PM

I found an 8pk for less than $3 per stick...

csbrewfisher · 08-06-2009, 12:58 PM

It's OK to say that joecigar has 'em.

I smoked a torpedo and found it to be *just OK*. It wasn't as full bodied or flavored as I was expecting from a cigar with a name like that. The construction was *just OK*, the wrapper began to unravel about halfway through.

I've had a couple of others since then, and they did not have the construction issues mentioned...but I probably wouldn't buy them.

I say, go for it!! I think M.O.W. are very good cigars and you'll have a hard time finding a cigar with this much consistency at a $3.00 (Sale) price point. They are marketed as Full Bodied, but I would say they are in the Med-Full range.
I have a box or so left and they've not let me down, so far. They also seem to get better with age.
DO IT!!

thay are very very good cigars i like them alot

MajorCaptSilly · 08-06-2009, 01:04 PM

I think these are quite good. They start out with a Pepin-like spice kick and then quickly mellow out with an earthy, leathery flavor. Some folks don't like these but I really enjoy them.

The Man O' War Ruination is a pretty tasty cigar.

One of my favorites, Jaime! They need about 6 months of rest though to reach their "Plateau", IMHO!

I have some aged ones that are a great smoke for $3 or even more. And I'm open to a trade.

I got a 5er of the figurado on cbid for $19. I really enjoyed the one I've smoked and posted a review (I'd link but it's a PITA from a cell phone). I'm going to let the others rest a bit.

Mr Edmundo · 08-06-2009, 05:22 PM

I've tried most of them. They are pretty consistent in flavor regardless of the size. As a few have stated, they are not full bodied, more like med. I've never had any construction issues. In fact, I think they are very consistent that way. Definitely need to age these, as they are way better with a few months on them. The one thing I find, although they are not full bodied, they do seem to have a lot of nicotine in them. I think that's why they aren't so great ROTT but mellow out with age.
For $3 a stick, no brainer.

kenstogie · 08-06-2009, 06:25 PM

Yup I like them too. Although I have only had 2 they were good to real good. I am letting the rest of the sampler I got rest because I really think it will enhance them. Like someone said they start off spicy and mellow to a semi complex leather/earth thing. For 22 bucks with free ship it's an easy choice for me. Does anyone not like them?

kenstogie · 08-06-2009, 06:39 PM

This makes me think (and that doesn't happen very often

Is there a "greatest deals" thread? Not the Misc stuff from manufacturers but a user submitted one?

Giant & 49er Fan · 08-06-2009, 10:13 PM

sikk50 · 08-06-2009, 10:37 PM

They're pretty yummy after sleeping a few months

yourchoice · 08-08-2009, 09:33 AM

A cigar in CI's catalog that always catches my eye. Good marketing I guess. I'll pick some up at some point to try out I'm sure.

Don Fernando · 08-09-2009, 05:00 AM
