MOW 25

RainRain Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 8,761
I've seen a few people smoking these, what are your thoughts? Hoping I'm wrong, but the negative spirit inside of me says they probably taste like a Virture (FTW). While not a bad thing, if I wanted a Virtue (FTW), I'd smoke a Virtue (FTW).

    I thought they were just a relabelled Virtue. I haven't seen anybody mention anything about them being a new blend, or the same as the Virtue. Which brings me to another, related, question. What about the MoW OCC? Same blend as the MoW Original with different labellingartwork?

    A little off topic...but the Virtue is, so far, the only MOW I have not liked. You don't hate me .....do you Rain..?

    I would agree, while I haven't had more than two Virtues, the 25 tasted the same from what I remember. I picked up a box because they were cheaper at around 3 bucks a stick than standard boxes of Virtues.

    Nah. You like 5V which I can't stand for the most part, so we are square.

    Ok, to be fair I never read that they were a different blend...guess I just assumed.

    Yup, the 25 is the virutue with a different wrapper. A little birdie told me so last year, when they were getting them ready to be released at the pre-CFest 2013 during the Lesean McCoy MOW event. Same everything but box and band, except that if you bought them at the event, Lesean would sign them for you.

    It was a Virtue (FTW) all the way but the band is purty

    So it does have a different wrapper?

    Rain, when I read that I think he ment to say band. Later in the same post he says it again as being the "same cigar". I asked the same question in the "smoked a good cigar from..." thread and the replys were same cigar different band.

    Different blend. I tried one that I had only had a short time and wasn't impressed. It will improve over time. I just didn't have any willpower that day.

    planning on smoking them side by side some weekend to see if I can tell a difference. Similar age and vitola. Toro and robusto.
