I think I may have found a new favorite. This cigar is smoothe, with any hint of harshness being found only during the first few minutes.

^Held a very good ash.

^Lost it's ash about 1/2 way through the cigar.

^I did experience a pretty uneven burn through the last 1/2 of the cigar. There was no wind but there was a noob smoking it, so maybe I goofed despite touching it up ever so often.

All in all, I really enjoy this line. Has anyone else tried one?

Thanks for the review & pictures Brad. I have had two of them. The first time was nothing special, the second time was great.

I need to smoke another because I found my first Man 'O War to be very flat. It burned terrible and was nearly flavorless. I won't judge on just one attempt though. :-)

I love these smokes, these are a new favorite of mine also.

I've been wanting to check out the Ruinations. They're online only, correct?

Unsure, but I know CI sells them.

I really dig the MOW....but haven't yet tried the ruination. I'll have to give that one a whirl.

Nice review. I enjoyed the regular MoW. Finishing up a Ruination now. I'll post a review later tonight.

I like. I think you'll likely love the Ruination even more, however!

Definitely not something to smoke on an empty stomach, but great flavor!

I thought you only had one lonely Spartain left, and then some "angel" took care of him, thus liberating your empty humidor?! lol
