4:15 am The journey begins! Started with the original MOW, as I have not had it before, and wanted my pallet to be fresh. Did I enjoy it? Oh yeah!Next was the Virtue, around 5:30. Another great smoke! More to follow!
And the finale! Ruination, FTW! Always awesome, and one of my favorites. Ken Light 3000th Post MOW FTW Badge completed, 08/10/2014! Thanks Ken!
This thread is officially awesome as are all of you for making it that way. Huge kudos to puff for pointing out that MoW should have been the MoW Vice. Virtue, Vice, and Ruination is amazing. And extra credit!!!
Was it actually called Vice at one time or was that just a nickname?
I was planning to go for a fiver. Had an OCC waiting in the wings. But I couldn't pull the trigger.
I can't believe you did extra credit. You da man! Living up to your name
Yeah no kidding... Towards the end I was considering maybe doing the Puro Authentico after the Ruination because I was feeling great still. After I took the final pic of the Ruination and took the last puff it hit me hard and I said nope, that's it haha.

I'd not heard it before Doug said it...
Yeah... I don't think it's an official name. It just jumped into my head when I was trying to think of how to title the pics from the second stick. Virtue... Vice... Ruination seemed like the perfect progression.
Thanks again, Ken, for an awesome way to commemorate your 3000th post!

Well i did it!! DIdin't do too well at the softball tourney, but completed my quest!
Started our 11pm game off with The Virtue
pretty much nubbed it
Moved to the main line MOW for for the break between games:
Didn't end up nubbing it because we had a long inning in the field and it would have been tough to relight
Finished with the Ruination at our final game:
Same thing happened with the runiation....long inning in the field. (it was a trend throughout the day)
It was a great test of the palette. I assumed that mine would be shot and by the time the ruination got around i wouldn't be able to enjoy it, but that wasn't the case.
Ken, thanks for the supplies to complete this quest. It was fun!
So what has everyone been doing while smoking? I'm pretty sure I just watched Skyrim Let's Plays (shout out to De Facto Man!) and watched the sky.
Sat on the front porch for rounds 1 and 2, drank a couple Sam Adams Rebel IPAs, and surfed the forums. V-herfed rounds 3 and 4 with ejgorman and avengethis... and drank a couple more Rebel IPAs.

That rebel IPA is good. I had one of them on draft a couple months ago. Really really good.

Watched some episodes from Season 3 of Continuum on Netflix and jumped around looking at different cigar stuff and on here as well.
