The Man O’ War (MOW) is another brain child of A.J. Fernandez and is supposedly his daily go to cigar.  Only offered on Cigar.com, Cigarsinternational.com and Cigarbid.com, this is a somewhat limited release but seems to always be in stock.    

Appearance: It is a little rustic and the closed foot is cool.  The band is simple with the MOW helmet on it.  Very soft and for lack of a better word, velvety.          9/10

Construction:  Well made with no seams, stems, cracks or soft spots.          9/10

Burn:   Exceptional.  No hang ups even with the smaller ring gauge.  10/10

Aroma:  Dirt, leather, coffee, barnyard, toffee and chocolate.  The aroma is all over the place and keeps you on your toes.        10/10

Draw: Very nice.  Again, with the burn I was surprised how well this drew with the smaller ring gauge.  Very well made.       10/10

Flavor:  This is the best part.  Like the aroma, this is just a roller-coaster of a ride.  Up, down, loop de loops, everything.  There was lots of pepper and spice, more leather, coffee and chocolate to boot.  10/10

Availability: As I mentioned above, you can only buy these on line but they seem to always be available.         8/10

Personal Overall Experience: If you have a cold, this will clear your sinus.  Tons of pepper and spice.  This would be such a great cigar after a big steak dinner (or during) with a big bold beer in hand.  This is now my new favorite in the MOW line.  If you can, go find some.     28/30

Total: 94/100
