Ruination Question

Jetmech_63Jetmech_63 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 3,384
So i get home from my det on the ship to find the 5 pack of M o'W Ruinations i ordered in my humi. Only they "dont look like the picture". It is the 6 x 60(Robusto #2)and feels pretty heavy... but it lacks the second band below the MOW top band. Anyone else run into this? I got it of a reputable site. Experiences?

    I've only had the robusto #1, and it has the double bands. Don't know what to tell you, but I'll second Gene in welcoming you back to dry land.

    Thanks guys, its really good to be back on land, and back with yall. Seems like i do have ruinations, minus the bands. Maybe they ran out or it was just a fluke. Regular MOW doesnt come in 6x60, i plan on smoking one later.

    hey guys. How is everyone? The secondary bands we first ordered had trouble fitting around the 60 ring. The first shipmet did not have them. All future shipments will. Sorry for any confusion.

    Hey Jet, welcome home bro'. Let me know what you think of those Ruination's. If you like 'em as much as the Man O' Wars maybe we should do another box split? I haven't tried them, but I would go on your suggestion.

    Just got done smoking my first Runiation. Interesting. The original MOW had very bold strightforward flavors. The ruination had the same flavor profile but it was like the flavors blended in on eachother more. Spicy through the nose, very smooth otherwise. Pretty potent cigar too, this from a guy who smokes Antano's like theyre going out of style. All in all a great smoke, i'm verrry satisfied!

    If he isn't interested, I would be. I loved the Ruination.

    Would you guys take a third in on the split? I'm liking the Ruination and would like to have some more around but not a whole box...just don't have the room. My only sticking point would be the size, I just can't get into 60 ring cigars, but the robusto #1 or belicoso would be fine...assuming you guys are ok with a 3-way split.

    You know, that's probably best. I'll just catch the next box split. I just realized I haven't paid the excise tax on my car, and that's probably going to run my $400. Stupid MA taxes!!

    I'm going to pass to. I'd be happy to get in on one down the road though.

    I'm interested in getting in on part of a box if you're looking for people Laker.

    What say you then Mr. Laker? Down for a three way split on some of the robusto #1? If Ron is good with that, then maybe we can get a little three-way action going on. Sound ok Ron?
