Man O' War Ruination 10th Anniversary (6 x 60 / Box Press)

[chain_gang]

Beast of a stick. I could only handle 2/3 of it, only due to the time dedication required to finish it.

Much better than the standard Ruination (reviewed). I was drinking a corto (3 shots of espresso with an equal part of frothy milk) while smoking, so the tastes may have been due to that.

Reminded me of a hot chocolate kinda taste. Pretty tasty in the 1/3. Can't recall any peppery spice like in the regular Ruination.

After around the 1/3, the hot chocolate taste was less present, but there was still a decent body of flavor. It was still very smooth, but not as enjoyable, but still held my attention, and I enjoyed it.

Judgement:

Good stick overall. I would revisit, but the size is a deal breaker for me. If a robusto size were to be made, I'd definitelty go again. For a MSRP of $10 (CI) - I wouldn't pay that. For a discount AND a size reduction, I'd do a single for sure. Recommended only to the big RG fans amongst the Bums.

One my favorites in my regular rotation. I usually like a bit smaller ring gauge, but with the box press it's fine. You can pick them up pretty regularly for about $4 on the Devil Site.

I don’t mind 60RG when it’s boxed pressed. It’s a stellar stick. Look on CBid. Boxes can go for cheap. I think I got one for $40 at one point (10 count box).

I just smoked one yesterday. I have been through a few boxes. If you can handle the size they are great.
