strong; strong; ligero. Probably better (smoother) with age.

They are definitely in my everyday rotation humi. Had one last night and wasn't disappointed. Are they the best thing since sliced bread? No. But it did burn straight (unlike some le "premium's") with tons of smoke and tasted great. Certainly good ott or with some rest. Just my 2¢

Good solid stick.

Working my way through one now. Not a bad everyday smoke. I'll agree, it's well made and smokes wonderfully. Would certainly stand up to a nice glass of bourbon. Time to head to the store and get a few bottles.

Not a bad smoke. I'm thinking it would improve with rest. No burn issues at all.

I am an admitted MOW-HO and the Ruination is a great cigar. But if I had my choice, I would go for the MOW PA or the Armada. The Armada is pricey, but if you watch Cbid you can pick them up for a decent price as long as the over bidders are not around. Also, the MOW Side Projects,Little Devil, 52C, and Phalanx are great as well, and again can pick them up on the cheap.

Not sure bad cigar, had a few but wouldn't keep as a staple. For 160$ a box, can do better I would think.

I picked up 5 that came with 5 my fathers for like $40 shipped in a special. Didn't expect much but wanted the my fathers. Was Actually impressed. They are not bad sticks.

they age wonderfully......OTT (or close to it) versus one with a year or so on it?......can barely tell it's the same cigar....

the regular MoW is a fine smoke as well.....

Most of AJs stuff should be put away for 6 months to a year..........if you have patience, it is rewarded......

if you want to smoke something OTT, spend more............

I really enjoyed the few I've had, great construction without any issues, sat for about 3 months and would definitely buy again paid about 3$ on here

Had one a few weeks ago that sat for around 7 months I think and was tasty. Good sticks, very consistent for the price. Might want to try the Virtue too - I'm not big on connie wrappers, but those are quite good for the price. Both tend to get smoother with some aging.

I liked the few ive smoked but they had almost a yr of age on them. If i found them at a good price i prolly would buy more. It might be awhile before i revisit them though there is so many other sticks I would rather have.

I'm still looking for the AJF stick which would cause me to eagerly buy a second one.

I've tried....how many MOW's are there, anyway?

MOW Virtue - bit mild, not too bad; if it carried through on its threat to be creamy, I could find a place in morning rotation, but it doesn't quite get there

MOW PA - only the corona that comes in the Clown Car Samplers. Nat, I believe. Not objectionable, but never goes anywhere for me. Just kinda there. Don't think I've had maduro.

MOW core line (and Ruination) - I can imagine if these slept for a year or more, they might have potential. Like the PA, they don't come anywhere near my wheelhouse. Worse, they all have had a harsh edge that isn't strength so much as simply a cigar shipped too young (and maybe rolled too young, also.)

Don't believe I've had Side Projects or Seconds.
