I have an order of these coming. Never tried them, was wondering how they were.

Glorious; their one of my favorite medium strength sticks. What size did you order?

Ken Light

Very very good. Stronger than they taste and look though.

Drpepper you put a lot of time and thought into your comments and I really appreciate it. I will certainly post what I think about them. I have some 5 Vegas golds I received this week with a horribly bad first experience. So they are just gonna rest for a while. Tha nks again for all the input.

I'm fairly certain the Virtue is not just a Connecticut wrapped MoW. It's its own blend. They all are, except for the SE. I don't really care for it either though. It isn't what I look for in a Connecticut, and I haven't had one yet that I've really enjoyed. Lot's of plugs, improperly bunched sticks, and just mediocre experiences so far with it. I have a couple that are from the pre-release still aging that I need to try again. If after I try those, and they disappoint, I will completely write it off. Some people do like them, so try it, hopefully with an open mind, and see what you think.

I'm with the haters on this stick. I've smoked it 3 times and I just can't get in to it. It's bitter, then it's mellow, then it's medium body, then there's no flavor. It's random and not good. I love AJ's stuff but it seems like the guy knows how to make medium and full flavor sticks but his mild/medium stuff is meh.

It is my least favorite MOW but still OK in the morning

Very good. One of my favorite milds.

I am a big MOW fan, except for these. This is a Man Of War if the man is wearing a TuTu. Very little going here. The 601 Black is how to do a Conn. cigar for those who like a full bodied cigar, but would like a little change of pace. Not hatin' just sayin'. In most other regards, I am a big AJ fan.

Gents, always love your reviews!  Just to clarify, Man O War Virtue is a completely different blend than the other Man O War.  I enjoy them most during the day with coffee or tea.  If I have at night, I'll pair with a dark beer like Victory Storm King or Murphy's Irish Stout.

I find the secret to Connecticut blends is timing and pairing.  Try on a fresh palate earlier in the day and I think you'll be surprised how good these can taste!

Considering I'm a full bodied kinda smoker, I think these are mild. Not too bad for a morning smoke though w/ some coffee.

Had my first one the other day on the golf course, loved it.Perfect for the course,not to mild not to full . My new golf smoke.

I'm gonna agree with both Kuzi and The Beard on this one. There is a time and a place for Connie's, and that should be respected. Definitely not my favorite out of the lineup, but not bad either. They definitely haven't wowed me so far, like some other Connie's have, but they're by no means 'bad'. I think however that for the price, they could be a little better. I have found a couple other Connie's at lower price points that have impressed me more, such as the Park Avenue Torpedo, and the Graycliff G2. If you're going for this price point, personally I would say I prefer the Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real. That's just me though.

I actually like this one alot more than some of the other Connie's I've had. It just seems to have more body and stregnth than say a 5 Vegas Gold or Park Avenue. Although both those are good sticks I feel they are just missing it for me. The Virtue is just a little more interesting/ memorable, has it's own thing going on.

The Beard has spoken, this discussion is over!!
