Ruination Review

Good review man! I usually have the same reaction at about 1:15. I have purchased some robusto #1s to see how I will fare. Overall this is a great stick. Really love the mix of body and flavor on both this and the original MOW.

strange... i never got the power out of the ruination. i though the original was a bit more of a butt kicker.

I dunno about that, kuzi. I can smoke the original Man O' War all day, but the Ruination (though I loooove the flavor and the smoking experience) kicked me down (though it's most likely because I'm new). I went to bed that night feeling like I drank a whole bottle of rum.

I always get it from the Ruination, but not until well into the last third.

i guess in all fairness, i have only smoked some of the shorter vitolas of the ruination and only the larger vitolas of the original. im sure that has something to do with it. i should have taken that into consideration.

Great review and I agree completely. This may be my fav smoke right now.
