    Ruination is my fav cigar! They get better with age but I love them rott as well. I love all the sizes, I'd have to say my favorite is the 6x60, I know a lot of people say it loses some power but honestly that's just the one I enjoy the most.

    Love 'em both, classic win/win scenario.

    They are all excellent imo. You better hit the weekend blitz if you want more.

    I am a big fan of the puro authentico, armada and ruination. Can't have enough of them.

    I have both the Ruination and the regular line resting in my humidor now. I can't wait to fire one up!

    Loved both the MOW and the Ruination. Then a while back I smoked a MOW Saloman and it was just meh. But I have never had that experience with the Ruination.

    Can't go wrong with anything Man 'O War... In my opinion. Except the Soloman... wasn't impressed with them.

    You know, me too. I almost think AJ was trying a little too hard with the ruination. Its like that little bottle of crown royal black they were including with regular bottles of crown royal not too long ago. Yeah it packed more punch, probably had more depth, but..it had nothing on the original. Probably a lousy analogy but i digress.

    I'm a little past the halfway point on my first Man O' War and I have to say that I am LOVIN' it! I love how the flavor of cocoa powder lingers on my tongue. This is definitely a new favorite of mine. Now I can't wait to try the Ruination and Virtue!

    The original MOW x2 corona is so good it hurts. Ruiny in the smaller robusto or torp are amazing as well. Never had the 60 but never enjoy those massive rgs.

    I go back and forth on which one I like more. I've got both with plenty of age, some with a year, and others with three, and it just depends on my mood whether I'm going to like one over the other.

    I don't like one more then the others. I just enjoy them all and smoke whichever one I feel like smoking at the time. This is one of the most solid lines out there IMO.

    The Man O' War line is supreme across the board. They take up some serious real estate in my humis.

    I had one of the MOW coronas thanks to sightunseen... I'm kinda afraid to try the other sizes.
    I'm hoping the other sizes are just as good.

    I purchased a box of Man O War original coronas 6 months ago on a whim without trying any first. I busted my 1st one out 2 weeks ago and it was delicious. Great leathery flavors with nice spices, glad I have 21 left to slowly age & indulge in. This cigar converted me into purchasing and stocking as many corona size cigars as I can.

    I may have to try another Ruination based on y'all. I got it as part of the Oliva V sampler. The 'V' was simply outstanding. The Ruination didn't do much for me but maybe I didn't give it a chance to recover from the trip to my house. I found it spicy and lacking depth and thought it might just be hype. I have 4 more in my humidor I'll try in the coming weeks.
