I too was unsatisfied at first with this cigar. After reading your comments on it I think I'll give it another try tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
I think in general, most AJ stuff improves quite a bit after 6 months to a year. At least to my tastes. I've rested Virtues since the pre-release, and they still don't wow me. Some of them are ok, but that's not what I'm after. For my money, when it comes to connecticuts, I just prefer to go with Tabadom made sticks.
The Virtue is a real go-to cigar for me, one of my favorite milds and the cigar that won me over to the mini-salomon size, now one of my favorite vitolas.
I was wondering what is better for those who tried them, the MoW virtue or San Lotano Connecticut. I haven't tried the San Lotano, I like the MoW Virtue

SL connie. Not even close. (and I like the Virtue... but it won't touch the SL)

Wow, really? I haven't read much feedback on the SL Conn. but now I want one!
It's funny the first Virtue I had was the corona (from the AJ sampler) and fell in love with it right of the bat. Had a few more (toros or torpedos, and another corona) and still liked them. Had another corona recently and it just didn't do it for me. Not sure why...maybe it was the stick, maybe it was me, who knows? I have a couple more in different vitolas and am interested to see how the next one goes.
Also, looks like I need to try the SL Connie! I'd say my favorite connies (at the moment) are the Ashton original and the Cabinet series. Any comparisons of those to the SL anyone?
i agree that the san lotano connecticut is way better than the virtue. i feel that the San Lotano Connie doesnt have to live up to profile of a line. the Man O War Virtue feels like it is trying to live up to the Man O War name.
The MOW Virtue is an enigms for me. The first few (larger vitolas) I did not like. In the smaller sizes in the morning I find it very satisfying. It is definitely a timing thing with me, after lunch I will not give one a second thought.
