Thoughts on some of AJ's sticks

I think these are all his blends...if not someone please correct me.
I've had all these numerous times and just recently.
In order of preference:
1-Man O War Armada-OK only had this once and have one more I am waiting for a special spot for but found the first one a perfect cigar.....burns slow....full bodied and full flavored with no harshness....I remember it being relatively complex
2-San Miguel-Sad to see this going away....creamy, tasty medium bodied smoke with a nice sweeter flavor...burns great
3-San Lotano Oval-Top notch quality smoke with a lot of depth and flavor...great burn...only had one so far but have another resting
4-Moro Castle-I see it as an everyday type smoke but a dandy. I don't like smoking good sticks on the golf course but my buddy loves Gurkha so I brought a couple Crest's out...decent enough but would have preferred this smoke.
5-MOW Ruination-I am not as high on this as others but it is a solid stick with earthy notes to my taste..burned a little uneven today..
6-Ava Marie-First time I had this I thought it sucked ass....second time it was a much better experience...have one more left..
7-La Herencia Cubana-My first experience with this was outstanding..since then I have had another dozen or so and I still like it but have found the consistency varies from stick to stick.....or my buds do
..similar to Morro Castle but not as good imho
8-MOW-I've had this probably a half dozen times and just don't see the fascination with it...maybe a personal preference thing....not saying it is bad but I'd smoke many others before this

I like almost all AJ's stuff, but for some reason I find the Ave Maria line flat and uninspiring (especially at the price point it's at), I've smoked a few each of four vitolas........guess it's not in my flavor-wheelhouse
Have yet to try a Reconquista, and have some from March madness......gonna let them sit for a while longer, then torch one and see what's up.....
Can't say as I have met an AJ stick that I didn't at least enjoy. I find that his flavor profiles are right up my alley.
