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.

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.  : )

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?

Question, challenge, and always keep a fresh battery in your bullshit detector

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.

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.
