Man O' War Armada

Description

Worth. Every. Penny.

A $20 cigar runs counter to every fiber of the deep discounting instinct that runs through CI Nation's red blood. Many expensive cigars are simply 3-dollar sticks with a 10-dollar bill wrapped around it. But from time to time such a price tag is warranted…. expensive because they're actually, well, expensive. Extra care, extra long processes and extra steps during production, extra aging and optimum fermentation, extra rare and costly tobaccos and materials. Man O’ War Armada is all that and more. The price is nauseatingly steep, but boy-oh-boy are you getting something special. It's a special, personal blend of cigar master and Man O’ War maker A.J. Fernandez. A tasty elixir draped in a dark, toothy, Ecuador-Sumatra wrapper leaf and bringing a full-frontal assault of flavor: complexity like you read about, an eruption of Cuban-esque power yet nicely balanced, over-the-top notes of earth, vanilla, coffee, spices, and cedar with a crisp tobacco core. Gloriously full, voluptuous and dense, disarmingly redolent. A super-premium of the first order (red cape sold separately).

Simply the best cigar I have smoked so far. Next. . . hmm. . Padron. . I do not know the fancy terminology smokers use as I am still an new enthusiast. However, the Armada is so easy and soooo smooth of a smoke. Absolutely, no bitterness! I think I understand why the 20. oo price tag is justified. I am so in love with the AJ line but this Eliteist cigar . . . Lord. . it is a must try guys

I'm a fan of AJ's creations and these sticks are some of the best! When these sticks were at a rock bottom price, I couldn't resist - my humidors are S-T-U-F-F-E-D!

Delicious smoke! Highly recommend. Burn time around 1.3 hours. Paired with a nitro infused vanilla stout. Nutty on the draw, bit of leather on the exhale. Retrohale was a mix of nuttiness with some earth and flower. Great smoke. Will buy again

I rate this stick higher than 4-stars, but just can’t find a way to round up to 5, even if I assume some of you who love black pepper would do it. This is a full-bodied pepper bomb for those who like just a tiny bit of complexity. Within the full category, a good deal less strength than Cain F or CAO Flathead. Any highly experienced smoker on a full stomach should be fine with the Toro. Super smooth for a pepper bomb, and does have 15-20% flavors other than pepper, including even sweetness well in the background, espresso and leather. Hint of cinnamon. This is the kind of stick where I can’t taste dark chocolate, but some of you almost certainly will. Wrapper surprisingly pretty, slick, small veins and very little tooth; impeccable draw on 2/3 of sticks, 1/3 a little stiff but still OK. I collect lighters and don’t mind touch-ups, but the burn will go crooked within the first inch. Pairing? I’m not a peated Scotch kinda guy, but I’d think this would be a great stick for those who do.

This cigar is probably the most flavorful MOWs I've smoked, but strong enough to knock you on you ass. As usual impeccably made with a beautiful burn. Wish they weren't so expensive. I usually only buy them when on sale and even then they're still pricey.

A really good smoke. Probably not worth the $20 msrp, but if you can get them for around $10...worth every penny!
