Som after waiting for over a year to buy a box I finally got to try the Man O War Ruination.
I must say the original Man O War was one of my first cigars I bought (mainly as I like things that look shiny and pretty like).... it was horrid, then I had one from the same batch about 8 months later and loved it, then another, then another then another then....erm ran out.....buggrit!
SO, what's this silly panto all about then:
"What's this all about then Yeti?"
Well i'll tell you, its a Beautiful little Robusto beastie this, Nicaraguan Filler and Binder with an amazing Equadorian Wrapper, fine veins and an oily coat.
AS for taste, pre light earthy and a little bitter.
Once lit thought, well it's no playground weakling this, strong but also very smooth, it had a peppery spiciness to it with dare i say the aftertaste of liquorice (sp) yet had that barnyard feel, very pleasing with great gouts of smoke.
It continued pretty much the same however became more spicy and I guess the aftertaste of slight coffee or something else with that smooth non offensive bitterness.
Not the most amazing smoke out there but I thoroughly enjoyed smoking it and would like to thank it's rotting little carcase for taking me on the adventure.
If you can snag one for under #7.00 or so i'd say definately try it, especially as the label will have you shouting "Spartaaaaaa" out loud....oh god, yes I did.
