I know cigar.com and Tinder Box sell them as well. It may be a cigar that is exclusively sold by "Web" retailers, as I've never seen it at my local B&M's. I'm not sure.
As far as "Monkey Turds", every cigar smoker may have a different take on a particular cigar. What may be a "Monkey Turd" to some may be a Gem to others. I read reviews, but I will usually give a stogie a try before I mark it off the list, regardelss of it's rating or score. In other words, smoke 'em don't throw 'em.
I will say that I really enjoy this cigar and it's worth a smoke. My

Good Smokes after 3 months rest, IMHO!

I recently tried my first MOW. I enjoyed it and wouldn't call it a "monkey turd".

03-31-2009, 07:37 PM

Thanks all, I'll give em 3 months and enjoy.

Ratters · 03-31-2009, 07:37 PM

I quite enjoy these, I was very pleasantly surprised with my first couple.

MajorCaptSilly · 03-31-2009, 07:44 PM

These get mixed reviews but I really enjoy them. They are on the strong side of medium bodied and have a peppery taste with thick, rich smoke.

AJ Fernandez makes some awesome blends, not that these are similiar, but the Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet is a KNOCK out smoke, tons of flavor with some white pepper spice, but rich. I have found the smokes coming out of his factory to be similar, in the Pepin way, and in no way is that a bad thing.

I enjoyed the ones I smoked but I don't go out of my way to reach for one. They're good smokes.

Had a double corona Wed on the golf course. That last 2" gets really stout and flavorful.

I smoked one last week and it was OK. I had anticipated something more from this stick I guess. I read a lot of hype prior to getting my hands on one and it was nothing special but with that being said I would give the MOW another shot.

Thanks,
