Man O’ War ~ Toro

[badwhale]

logan37’s Review

Smoke: Man O’ War ~ Toro
Drink(s): Ice Water
Tunes: nothing

Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Excellent
Misc: 120 minutes

Pre-light: Satin finish on a medium to dark brown wrapper. Cool band (Gotta mention that). Very nice construction. Faint tobacco sweet smell, and kinda bitter on the prelight taste.



Light: Easy. Medium draw towards the tighter side.

1st 3rd: Medium to full body. Full flavor. Leather, nuts, chocolate accents. Spicy with pepper. Its not mellow, but its bite is not overwhelming, or anything I’d describe as harsh.



Ash: Mottled light gray & darker gray. Kinda flimsy, fell off in ¾”



2nd 3rd: Oil & leather dominant. Pretty strong nose exhale burn. Has the nice chocolaty ring to it. Definitely more full than medium body. Hasn’t really mellowed down either (and I suspect it won’t)



3rd 3rd: Yes. Full body. Full Flavor. Chocolaty goodness! Oil & leather yumminess. Has some power to it too.



Overall impression: Good cigar IMHO. I really should plan smoking these, as you need a decent amount of time & a good dinner beforehand. Thank you Smoked! for allowing me my first opportunity at these!!!

Nice review. I'm a big fan of the Ruinations, but haven't tried the regular Man O' Wars yet. Have a fiver of the SE Figurados in the mail though, so I'm looking forward to trying them.

That was weird. Seems like a codeset thing with the title - I'm guessing the single closing quotation mark. Linking by post number works fine.

No young things?

Good review. IMHO, this one lives up to its billing. It presents a formidable appearance, follows through with bold flavors, and packs a punch from start to finish. (Full disclosure: I’m a bit of a lightweight when it comes to the nic rush.)

Plus, the label is really, really cool. Again, nice work Will.

I've only had the figurado, but I agree with Will's review. Great stick!

It was the middle of the afteroon, and I wanted to get something acomplished after I finished the review so, no young things.

I figured it didn't like the was that cigar is "technically" spelled. I can't fix that, only somelike Shag I guess.

joecigar.com has an assorted 10 pack of MOW's for 39.99 today. Don't know if this is a good deal but thought those of you who were interested in trying these out would want to know.

Wow! That's only a little bit more than the bundles of MOW 2nds at CI. I think that is a good deal. Thanks Aaron!
