Man O’ War Ruination Belicoso 8 Year Aged Cigar Review

Man O’ War Ruination Belicoso 8 Year Aged Cigar Review – this has been in my humidors for 8+ years so it’ll be interesting to note changes from my original review back in 2010.  It’s 5.7×56 featuring a dark chocolate firmly packed wrapper with minimal veins, tight invisible seams, slick oily dense pack and extremely rick milk chocolate aroma.  First light reveals a perfect draw with plentiful mild-medium smoke output showing notes of a light earth and leather with a hint of pepper and bitterness on the tail of the finish.  The first third pushed to a medium body with a more complex blend of sweet creamy leather, light earth, slight cocoa with the hint of pepper and spice on the tail end.  The 1/2 way point comes at 40 minutes dropping a solid ash chunk with the same profile.  Ending at 1:15 the last third continued the same great construction and profile.
