I decided when I woke up today that I would go for my MOW badge. I know I can knock out the original three but we'll see if I have the stomach to kill the SE. ATM I am working on the MOW original.

    Chug! Chug! Chu-...Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! Finally going for it? Nice. I'm going to have to re-try for the Spec Ops badge. I would try to give ENFIDL a challenge by matching his Medal of Honor, but no double happiness and I can't seem to find the time these days :(

    How do you get a "Badge"? sorry this may be a stupid question fairly new here.

    SE isn't anything to worry about. I'd take that down before the ruination.

    I agree, the Ruination makes men out of recruits

    lol, well said.

    Not sure how much time you have but I had a chisel maduro and an opus during my run of the badge. I smoked 7 cigars that day, it was a good day. Though the chisel maduro was before the SE and the opus was a **** before the ruination. I felt the ruination packed more of a punch. It all worked out nicely. I also ate a lot of chocolate and dr. pepper. good luck.

    Very nice. I see an attempt in my near future as well. Good luck.

    November 11. My first full day in Fort Myers Beach. I'll only be smoking the first three since I don't have a SE, but I will still enjoy. I'll have the Virture in the morning, two Originals on the golf course, and a Ruination after dinner. I'm sure I'll be going through 5-6 a day down there so I'll be adding some others along the day.

    Just got through smoking the original dang that thing lasted for forever! Next will be the Ruination.

    do the ruination last. i recommend virtue, regular, se, ruination, and then double happiness if you have the balls

    And an Adamantium-lined palate.

    Did this last month. It was fun, but honestly after the first two sticks, my palette was so worn out that it sort of was more to say I did it than because I actually enjoyed it. The MOW, Ruination, and SE are all too powerful on the palette to really hold up together IMO. Still a fun, and difficult task!

    **** glen, I got light headed just reading all of that !!!

    hehe, yeah surprisingly I was fine. not sure why. I didn't load up on food or anything. Then again like yesterday I got a little buzzed off a 5 vegas AAA... go figure. I'm going to smoke the entire anejo line one day ( need to start early in the day) then I'd like to smoke the entire Opus line as well though I need two more sizes to do that. But hell I figure it's a way to find out which size of my favorite lines I really do enjoy more.

    Last weekend when Tony and I did it, I was fine too. My palate was still pretty good even after the Ruination. I would have kept smoking but it was getting pretty late by the time we were done. I have an idea for another similar challenge, but I need one more stick to make it complete...

  • wwhwangwwhwang Posts: 2,878 ✭✭✭
    So...JSaint hasn't reported back yet. Think he died smoking the virtue?

    Go Go Go
  • JSaintJSaint Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭
    I'm still kicking. Working on the ruination ATM and I really think the se will not be smoked in this challenge. Got the original and virtue down. Damn things got bitter near the end so I couldn't totally nub them =.

    Weird. Never had a bitter MoW before. Smoking to fast?
  • JSaintJSaint Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭
    Nah I think it was tar build up. The original was a fatty and took like two hours!

    I believe it is, it's the one we talked about before the herf. With the new addition to the line I figure might as well do it right :^)
