Never had one... They used to go for a lot on here I remember... They're probably rolled in China now...

I've had a few of these. I think they're pretty good but wouldn't go so far as to pay retail for them. I'm not able to give you a comparison to the OR unless someone wants to send me one of their sleeping ones

Lol... Um... I don't think kotc was calling this a sleeper...

A 3 buck stick that smokes like a 20 dollar stick on auction that no one is bidding on is not a sleeper?

I’ll report as to how good they are........or aren’t............but not until they’ve had a good nap.
If they’re awesome, I’ll lie, and tell you they suq.

I never had the early Armadas when they were actually $20, but I've had a number of the later ones (2015, 2016, 2017) at varying age points, all between 1 and 3 years of age at time of smoking.

Some were too tightly packed and hard to draw, others burned crooked and were hard to keep lit, others drew and burned fine, but were pretty unremarkable, and actually IMO not as good as most of the rest of the MoW line. For example, I'd take the standard, original MoW over any of the Armada specimens I've smoked so far.

Amazing $20-worthy cigars they were absolutely NOT. At least, not the ones I had. Maybe the OR (original release) were much better, I don't know.

So you're saying they're just standard AJF cigars.
