As for its aromas, it was pretty heavy on ammonia at first but eventually revealed dark, thick leather and Ceylon tea. In fact, the wrapper is very cleanly rolled and you can barely see the seams of the wrapper leaf. Similarly, there are no particularly visible veins.
Its wrapper has a nice reflection to it thanks to an oily sheen. Its spring is firm with just the right amount of resistance when pinched. The Man O’War is a very sleek cigar with an even construction. They were kept at 69% RH using the Boveda packs and monitored regularly using a Boveda butler. This ensured that they were properly acclimated for a consistent review. We’ve been holding onto these cigars for a couple of years and they were transferred to a Boveda acrylic humidor several weeks prior to the review. Only 10,000 of these are made per year, which partly explains its high price tag of around $20 per cigar. The Man O’War is made with an Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro, which is a very low-yield crop. In this case, we opted for the War Horse Perfecto, which is 6.5″ x 64 in size. It is available in a variety of usually large vitolas.
It is a cult classic and well-known among the cigar community. This is the Man o’ War from Armada, which is a brand produced by AJ Fernandez, in his Ocotal factory in Nicaragua.
