How About Them Man-o-War Ruinations?

[Yarddog]

Finally ordered a fiver of these from CI...looks like they are a CI house brand made by AJ Fernandez, and oh yeah, I be a fan of AJF...Any thoughts out there about these from the masses? I ordered the 5.7X56 Belicoso...normally I go all in for a box, never had a bad experience, but this time, I held off, just got the five pack. The reviews overall seem very positive, but I throw this out there for maybe even more candid thoughts...Thanks, folks!

I have always like the Man O War line. It has never seemed very complex just solid construction and even flavor and body all the way through.

Not a fan. I remember when they first were released years ago and they were fairly decent. No longer however.

Can't comment on the more recent ones but I had quite a few a couple years ago. Decent, but not a "Wow" cigar. For the price they were good.
Picked up quite a few in sample packs that had others I was more interested in.

Thanks for your ideas, folks! I'll report back after they arrive on Wednesday!

I love them. Just got 2 boxes of the War Horse size a month ago. Smoked one of them last night and was not disappointed. The regular man o war line does nothing for me, but the ruination and puro authentico maduro are a couple of my favorites when it comes to budget friendly smokes. I tried a dark horse yesterday as well and thoroughly enjoyed it too.

I dig the ruinations. They're on my get more of list.

I like the Ruination line myself. The WarHorse is very good IMO.

If you like AJ and want something more complex, the New World line is something I was fond of.

I am a fan of the Man O' War line, but the ruination does not do it for me. Then again I know plenty of people who like them. I think a fiver is a safe bet.

Ruination is a personal favorite, and I am a big AJ fan as well. In the value department hard to beat Diesels and man o wars for full flavor cigars.
