Im with u. I like both but the San Miguel holds the higher rank with me.

I think the San Miguel tastes good, and smells pretty good too. It's straight forward. Nothing fancy or complex, but it's good at what it does. The Ave Maria is supposed to be a complex and interesting smoke. It is I suppose, but after the first half the flavors kind of muddle. I probably like the Ave more, but in specific vitolas. Neither are something I smoke regularly though.

I had my first Ava Maria last night. Started out very good, but it got half way down and turned so bitter I had to get rid of it. Needless to say I was very disappointed. I had it in my humi since Christmas last year.

Just fyi, both of these are AJ smokes.

I will agree with a caveat, they are very diferent types of smokes and both have their time. I preferred the robusto on the Ave Maria. The San Miguels I had were not very complex, were a much lighter delicate flavor but very good.
