Man o War puro authentico

Jon11 · 07-05-2012, 07:10 PM

What a great little cigar! which do you guys prefer the Habano or Maduro? While I'm at it the same question for the Illusione cg4. Colorado or Maduro? I love Maduro's, but I probably prefer the Habano MOW and the Colorado cg4 better.

I like the Maduros all the way, but thats just me. Try them all and see how it works for you.

Haven't had the Man o' War yet, but I did smoke the Illusione CG4 Maduro on the 4th. I'm still pretty new into cigars so I can't distinguish as many of the flavors as I'd like to be able to, I really enjoyed it. Didn't have any burn issues, plenty of smoke, and an enjoyable taste throughout. Didn't seem too strong during it, but it had a little bit of a nicotine kick to it.

I'd definitely say try both the options for each stick - you could end up surprising yourself with an unexpected favorite.

Haven't had the puro authentico maddy, but the original one is aces.

jluck · 07-05-2012, 08:41 PM

I absolutely love the habano version and have not had the maduro yet.

kelmac07 · 07-05-2012, 08:58 PM

I actually prefered the habano version over the maduro version. Have been letting the maduros rest for a few months...time to revisit these.

I have only had one of the Habano version,I loved that thing. Perfect the way it is.

And to top that off...I smoked a connecticut wrapped stick tonight. First time in almost three years...and I enoyed it.

maninblack · 07-05-2012, 11:25 PM

The habano version is much better IMHO. But age may do wonders for the maduros.

Blasphemy!

Mac you have let us maduro whores down. Shame!!

dave · 07-06-2012, 06:46 AM

Only had MOW PA in corona size. Wasn't impressed at all. Found it pretty boring.

As to Illusiones, I am surprised to find that I don't enjoy the maduros at all. Far less surprised when I learned that they use a San Andres maduro wrapper. VERY, very few San Andres maduro wrapped cigars have ever impressed me at all. I know there's one or two, but I can't think of any at the moment. Meh.

CigarSquid · 07-06-2012, 07:29 AM

I have had one chilling in the cooler for 2 months now.. I forget which I have. I may smoke it this weekend..

Thanks for the reminder.

TJtorpedo · 07-06-2012, 07:10 PM

For Illusiones, I prefer the colorado wrapper. I do like the MJ12 maddie though.

The cg4 is probably my favorite size, and they are awesome with about six months down time on them.

RobR1205 · 07-06-2012, 07:34 PM

In terms of the MOW, I like the regular better than the maduro...just because I believe the original blend is strong and robust enough!

Dunkel · 07-13-2012, 12:41 PM

I smoked the maduro the other day while fishing and I have to agree that the Habano version is better.

poriggity · 07-15-2012, 03:09 PM

I've only had one, but I really enjoyed it.

If anyone needs to re-stock, http://www.joecigar.com today looks good.
