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?
the maduro is actually one of the early prototype blends for San Lotano called S-2 which was the factory code. We passed the PA broadleaf wrapper and fell in love with it but due to a lack in fillers could not do a big run.

Why did you go with such a big ring gauge
The size of the cigars made the chest look that much more impressive. That and we wanted to go with something unique but a size that is popular. Believe it or not, these 6 x 60 size cigars have a pretty huge following. That said, I realize it is not for everyone so I apologize if the size turns your off. I have a new man o war humidor (huge 100ct sucker) that we will get in a few months. If any of you guys wanted something in a different size, I would be happy to customize something for you and throw it in the Humidor at a competitive price to this offer. Once I get the humidors I will post pics.
I would need to special order some. I am sure for some of our fine, upstanding forum members I can make something happen but it would be several months before I could get them in house given the aging time required. Everything I made thus far went into the sampler. I will bring some in for early next year or late this year and we will do it as one of our saturday forum only offers. Stay tuned.

Hmmm....... If all goes right, I should be closing escrow on my new (used) house and I couldn't think of a better house warming present for myself that a MOW Warchest...............

That would be fantastic. I don't know if I want to shell out for the chest as I already have a huge amount of ruinations and MOW's. But it would be great if something could be worked out for some smaller, say 5 packs or so for the forum, sort of like how the forum cigars went.

I hope I did not seem to be complaining I was just courious I do like ring gauges in the 40's. I also like to smoke the occasional cigar I can barley hold in my mouth too. Just for the record I think this box is sweet as hell!
I dont see it that way at all. In fact, you are in good company. My idea cigar is 4.5 t 6 inches with a ring of 44 to 46. Kind of an odd range. However, the public all loves the big rings so I have to cater to that.

Funny you should say that Alex. I have just burned through one Double Happiness sampler and I love some of the sticks in the limited gauge and lengths. The Man O War and Ruinations are very nice. I like the Diesels more then the regular size. The Gurkhas in that size are also interesting. I liked the Blue Steel in the Toro size but these are tasty in a nice 45 minute to one hour stick. I have ordered several more of these samplers just to ge more of these limited release sticks in smaller gauge and length.
If you haven't tried one of these you should give them a go they are very tasty and the construction of them is very good so there is no problem cutting them down at all.
Now that I think of it, lilwing smoked one of these maduros with me in Chicago a few months ago. At the time it was a shorty stubby size we working with. a 4 x 56 I think. he can probably comment on the blend.

thats about my ideal cigar as well... i can go longer but in general i like a bit smaller ring.
Guys there's something very wrong with the Man O' War warchest sweepstakes, the entry deadline say it ends on September 31st, 2010. September has 30 days, therefore you should all withdraw your entries. Just on the off chance that the exalted one (The Beard) has created an extra day on the calendar, I will of course gallantly volunteer to stay in the contest to see if it does pan out and the chest is up for grabs. I know all you guys will greatly appreciate me making this sacrifice for you!!!

I can't tell you how excited I get to hopefully win one of any of the email sweepstakes. Does anyone have an idea of what the odds are? 1 in 10,000 maybe? Alex?
Depends on how many people sign up. Usually 1 in 10000
Do I get a prize for guessing the odds right!!?? ha, just kidding. keep up the good work. Its a sign that youre choosing good prizes if we are all so excited to win them
of course I want to win this, but i think no matter who wins, they should be obligated to post pics of the winnings here... so I can at least live vicariously
