I bought a lot on the sprint sale when I first started. My problem was I was willing to buy blind. Everything looked like it had potential. Of my blind buys, my results were half and half. Only half the time would I get something I would be willing to buy again. The rest were yard gars.
Now, I can't sit there and watch it at all. I know a lot more about my preferences now and I have no patience to stare at that countdown. And it reminds me of money I spent unwisely.
But thanks for the heads up on the new murcielago on the daily deal. I wisely grabbed that.
Opinions on the Man O' War sampler on the DD today? I was gifted both the 52C and the Little Devil in the past...both pretty good smokes. Other than these two, I don't have any other experience with the MOW sticks.
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations.
Man O War was a staple in my humidor when I first got into cigars and I still smoke a couple of them, mostly the Puro Authentico corona. You could do better and you could do worse.
Almost forgot about the Virtue. Solid connie for my money.

Thanks for the input, @CharlieHeis. I'm kind of at that point where, when I go back to revisit sticks I really enjoyed when I first started, that they are only OK now. I am by no means an expert in cigars, but I'm definitely starting to know what I enjoy and what I don't enjoy. I would imagine that to some extent this keeps evolving as we grow? It is interesting that you mentioned the two that you did...been wanting to try both of these for a while.

I pulled the trigger on it. The Armada is my favorite from the MOW line. At less than $4 a piece I think it’s a good value for regular/daily smokes. I find they need at least a months rest in my humi though.
I just bought it too. Side projects are very very good almost great. Ruination is solid. I bought the 8 stick sampler about a month ago for the same price and it was worth it.
The Guardian of the Farm Torpedo bundle of 25 for $100 is a very good deal.
Really tempting

Not to butt in, but... Please describe it. Strong? More flavorful than most Conn? Similarities?
So someone with more experience should probably answer this. But in my opinion it is slightly stronger tasting than other connies. It's barely spicy and it can go head to head against a lot of other connies that are much more expensive. I've had a few that were better like the My Father Vegas Cubana, the Caldwell Eastern Standard, or the Deliverance Porcelain, but it's very good in the morning due to its mild/medium nicotine levels and it can be had for $3 per cigar. That makes it very hard to beat.

I've always assumed it would be similar to the Ave Maria Immaculata, which my wife enjoyed the smell of. Will definitely try some day. Been meaning to try a sampler that contains them. Another good Connecticut i have enjoyed is the La Perla Habana White Pearl. A good AM smoke.

@NorCalR1 That's a pretty good deal. If I didn't think the boss lady would get the nut cracker out, I'd jump on it. But I've exceeded my allotment for the quarter. LOL!
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
