Man O' War Virtue

xmacro

Anyone heard anything about this or the release time frame? All I've been able to dig up is snippets from Alex about a super-premium connecticut wrapper

I like mild to medium cigars, and I've heard nothing but good things about the Ruination, but something that powerful just isn't my thing, and this Virtue seems like I might finally get to try a Man O' War made to my liking

I'm intrigued. This is the first time I've heard about this. I wonder what kind of filler this will have?

Connie doesn't mean it isn't an ass kicker... but it sounds interesting.

Ugh, I hate it when cigars give me a buzz or make me sick; I like to relax when I smoke, not be lying down with the room spinning on me

Yeah, a mild MOW would be like dividing by zero.

Till I make my way to smoking a stronger cigar, I would love to see a complex mild to med in a MOW. ( See that was a totally new guy comment wasnt it?)

Sounds like alcohol-free whiskey, to me...

lmao oh there isnt a better example out there than this

Gents, the MOW Virtue is an amazing cigar.  Mild to medium in body, very flavorful.  An enjoyable cigar start to finish.  Tastes completely unique, nothing else like it!  Totally different than the other two Man O War, the only thing comparable is quality.

So the next question is when does it come out?

dennisking

Jdorais

WOOHOO!! Hearing it's mild to medium just made my day!!

Chuck Norris can divide by zero - so it stands to reason that The One True Chuck will personally be rolling the Man O' War Virtue

I could be wrong, but I think Alex said AJ has new stuff coming out around Father's Day. Maybe this is part of that? I dunno.

Alex Williams

its man o WAR. WAR isnt mild. Man o War is a body that knocks you on your ass punches you in the gut, and flavors that give your taste buds a lap dance. mild man o war?? no thanks

timb

Alex, to each their own.  Thankfully the original Man O War and the Ruination will still be made and they are as full-bodied as ever. 

 

This is a Man O War for times of peace. 

Alex Williams

hahaha im sorry mr the beard. please dont bring out the whip again. i promise i wont speak out of place again. im not worthy!

timb

Oh, and don't worry...  the flavor is present in spades!  I think we are about a month away from seeing these hit the 'shores' of Pennsylvania.  : )

Alex Williams

i think you should start being active in the trades, passes, and bombs forums! i would be happy to put you on the list

Since the Ruination is being rolled in a Double Happiness size/10", what're the chances of seeing a Virtue rolled in that size? Any plans to expand the Double Happiness line beyond the original 10 prototypes?

Man O War Virtue is rolling out in May but you will get a chance to try it in a sneak peak in April in the AJ Fernandez Dirty Dozen sampler which will be on our cover in our next issue. Great deal IMHO, 12 AJ sticks for $29.95 and Virtue is in there. boxes and singles will roll out in May issue and to do it right, we are kicking it off with a massive freebie including a Man O War 6 stick sampler (2 each original, ruination and virtue), Man O War branded Colibri slice grip double bladed cutter and a man o war branded torch lighter made by lotus. All three items will be free with box through fathers day starting in May. Oh, and the freebie is good on all MOW box purchases including original and Ruination.

In terms of the cigar, it will come in five or six sizes and be priced right around the same as the Man O War original and be for sale in singles and boxes of 20. The blend features a 5 year old connecticut ecuador wrapper and all aged long fillers from Nicaragua. The cigar is a definite medium in body but the flavor is full. The idea was to make a cigar with lesser body but one that has the same rich flavor people like about Man O War. Great stick IMHO and will be very popular with the guys that find the MOW lines too strong. For me, it is a great morning smoke but I also took a bunch out last week to a bachelor party and everyone went nuts for the things.

Alex Svenson

Yes, the hope is that the double happiness line will expand to include many blends from several factories. This first sampler is just part of the launch.

Alex Williams

well i know when im gonna buy that box of ruinations ive been plannin! when can we expect the double happiness to be available?

dennisking

You guys thinking about a sampler with the entire line that would include the special edition??

Holy $hit.... this made my night... I'm so excited, I'm like a fat kid at the Hershey factory (wait, isn't that in PA also? Must be the happiest state on earth, haha)
