Has anyone tried the new super premium cigar Man O War? I am going to buy a few online but still want to know what I am getting myself into.

have not tried one myself, but have heard plenty of good things. i know that doesnt help much, but i wish i could get my hands on one. Nobody local carries them.

I don't think you could go wrong here:

Not real familiar with this retailer, though.

I have one in the humi right now. Gonna let it sit for another month or so.

I have a box of these and some singles. I think it's time for Alen to try one.

My son and i went in July down to Bethlehem Pa.to Cigars International and met A.J.Fernandez the creator of the Man O War Cigars.We both bought a box of them.My son bought a box of Robustos and i got a box of Belicosos.Each box included a 8 cig sampler.They are very good, full bodied cigars with a good draw and earthy taste and leathery notes.We both enjoy them very much.Hope you enjoy them too.

Looks like I got the same deal as you. I got the toros instead.

My mistake,i got the Toros as well.Sheri,were you down there as well?

No. A very good friend in the US ordered them for me and then shipped them up here.

tried a man o war this weekend and was very dissapointed. the burn and consistency was not all that it should of been. Maybe I was expecting more, because of the hype it got. overall I would not buy another one again.

Indeed a good friend.I tried to order some samplers from Famous Smokeshops, but when i was told about the duties on a $47.00 order was $77.00 plus $14.00 shipping i canceled my order because i figured for $140.00 i can get 10 sticks here in Oakville.Just tried to get something different.

Is there anyone not making cigars these days?

I tried the sampler pack from cigar.com. I asked for one (and bought a ghurka special) I was surprised to get three samplers in the box and it was overnighted to me.

The cigar was good in my opinion. It was a little harsh when I lit it up buyt after letting it sit a minute or so the smolke cooled off and it was mellow and produced a good volume of smoke. It finished off with a woody taste. (IMHO not bad)

Mine burned evenly and had no problem staying lit. I will try the other two and report back more.

Subiker--I will see if I can find anywhere in CT where they are sold. Kind of slim pickings in Eastern CT. (I work in Colchester)

Just got 2 in the mail the other day tried one tonight it was a very good smoke. Nice toasty and some nuttiness to it. Going to let the other sit in the humi for a few months and try again.
