Marineatbn03 suggested that we break out the Ruinations, so it's our first venture into the MOW line. So far so good. One of the three we got from Ccom had a bit of a busted end, so I elected to take the "wounded" MOW. Even after cutting it, it seems to want to unravel if I let go of the end for a minute, but other than that it still hits okay (as long as I hold it together). Nikki and I are both kicked back with one relaxing after dinner. Good stick and good call Jim.
Hers turned out much better than mine. The one with the busted tip definitely ruined the Ruination. It made it hard to hit and just kept getting worse over time. I had a few drags off hers and it was much better, flavor and everything. It changed this smoke from a "never again" or "give it another go." I was glad to see that since it has been one that I have heard so much about from everyone on here.
As I sit here in cold, cloudy, rainy, wet, soggy, & windy Seattle, and I look upon all your photos of warm sunny dry clear elsewhere I am inspired to put on my rain gear gather my umbrella and enjoy a LPH Black Pearl...Ahhhh summer
Yet another four kicks corona gorda - man I love these. They are the perfect aftermoon smoke as they pair perfectly with a Dr. Pepper! Just snagged a couple of the new vitola's yesterday so I am looking forward to trying one of them. So far I have enjoyed all the 4K vitola's, just a winner in my book.
NICE choice John, I'm still a really big fan of the Black Markets, out of em right now but they have always been really solid cigars for my tastes and profile. Good on ya bro

Thanks bro, this is my 1st one ever and it's delicious!! I can see why you (and so many others) are big fans of the ABBM. Probably not the best pairing choice though - the rich/sweet/chocolateness of the cigar clashes with the mint/citrusy zest of the mojito so I passed off the drink to my fiancé.
This would be a helluva smoke with an espresso or chocolate bock beer...gonna get some more ABBMs somewhere down the road and try different pairings with it.
