    Was wondering when someone was going to notice this. This is a killer sampler indeed. It will be for sale later tonight or tomorrow and I will expect it to be a huge hit for Christmas. 40 cigars in all, all 6 x 60. 10 each of mow original, virtue, ruination and a never released maduro prototype blend (which just comes with a red ribbon for a cigar band). The box is pretty sweet with drawers for each blend and it's dual hinging lids. Msrb is about 440 I think but we will be doing em for $299.95 everyday. I saw this for the first time when at the factory in may and they finally arrived. I only ordered 50 and we already sold 5 just from the slide. I have a hunch I will need to buy more :)
    So is the red banded cigar your personal blend? Any idea when the armada will be available for purchase in box form?

    That's the best chest I've seen since the Comedy Central Roast of Pam Anderson (the black shirt, that was kinda see through, not enough for them to censor it, but enough that I could make out the outline of the nips)
  • hey u guys have any more of these for sale for 299? I may be down for this...let me know

    Wow! I entered so fast I jumbled all the letters of my email address up and had to do it over. That thing is amazing looking!
  • Man o' War is some really fine Cigars, this sampler is F N sweet. Hope I can snag one of the 50.

    is the MOW maduro differnt to the armada that I've heard about?
    I believe so. The Armada is Alex's current personal blend. No idea what the MOW maduro is.
    this is true. the maduro is just the MoW with a maduro wrapper.
    the Armada is ligero heavy secret blend that is not out yet.

    .... save for 3 people (that i can be 100% sure of).

    Looks awesome! I've only had the regular MOW, never tried the Ruination or Virtue, but this does look like a nice set up.

    Will that chest hold humidity? Or would one have to pull everything out of there and put it into humidors? That thing would look great in a cabinet.

    Yeah I would be in for 1 as well!
  • The word will be spread to any leaf fans I meet I promise ;-) Especially about this site in particular. The service I've had here I have never seen before. Either it doesn't exist in this country or it's simply cigar people are all awesome :P

    Yea. I would have liked something with a smaller ring gauge (say robusto), but that MOW Maduro sounds awesome.

    Alex, anyone,
    Any word on when/if these maduro MOW's will be released outside of this box?

    It's not the MoW Armada, if that's what you're asking, phebes. It's just a MoW with a maduro wrapper. As for the release date of the Armada, I'm curious about that myself.

    It's a rare thing for me to enter a contest, but this looked too good to pass up. I assume this means spam in the mailbox? OK, I'll survive that somehow.

    Haven't received spam from Ccom and I've entered in several of their contests.

  • Not to get off topic but i think itd be kind of neat if one of the giveaway contests was forum based. By that i mean, we always submit our emails for the contests and essentially always someone who was just passing by the site ends up winning.
  • ljlljl Posts: 819

    In defense of CCom, we as forum members enjoy numerous special discounts, advance information, and limited or advance release cigars not available for the general public. On top of that, I very much consider it a reward of its own to have a public forum like this where I can congregate with other cigar lovers, and talk about not only the thing we have in common, but extensive topics outside the cigar realm that allow us to develop as friends and personal human beings. If opening these contests to all comers is what CCom needs to do to keep us keepin on in this forum, I support it wholeheartedly - I will just enter the contests I want to enter, and have every much a shot as the next man at winning.

    The maduro in this sampler and the armada are different. This is a small batch blend abdel makes that he only has enough materials to make a few of. We really enjoyed the blend so we threw it in there as a bonus. It is a full bodied maduro with a PA broadleaf wrapper. Armada is going to a 6.5 x 56 cigar. The cigars are rolled and aging at this point and the humidor boxes are in production. Wont be available until mid october. I may have some pics of the prototype box.

    For the maduro, is the blend the original MOW or the Ruination?
