AF Work of Art - Maduro

[tenuki]

I'm new to cigar smoking so I'm not going to do a real review except to say this cigar knocked my socks off. What do others think of this cigar, cause I think it's a great smoke. Lasts a good 1+, even burn, flavorful - thick creamy chocolate spice. wow. I ran right back to the B&M and got a couple more, never done that with a cigar before.

Outstanding smoke! Love the WOAM

 

[jwintosh]

I had an 07 but it just didn't do anything for me...maybe I need to try one more current?

They sound great. I have never come across any to try. All I have found are the naturals.

Same here. Eventually I run into some sorta fuente maddy

 

[funkejj]

They are a great cigar. Wife tried one and loved it bought her a box the next day.

Glad to see you enjoy the WOAM; knocked your socks off because of strength or a price? Light weight ey? I am not a big fan of maduro cigars; why? Not really into baked tobacco. If you enjoyed that so much, you try getting your hands on the hemmingway masterpiece maduro.

Flavor, that's pretty much what does it for me. But yes, I like more medium body cigars. Thanks for the recommend, that's exactly why I posted this.

WOA and WOAM are great sticks especially with age. The sugar curing process on the WOAM is what makes it unique. They are both good change of pace smokes

I ran across these at my local B&M today. I picked up 2. I'm gonna try one this weekend. Thanks for the post.

Superb cigar.

I love these little guys, great hour smoke for sure. A lot of chocolate from the beginning that's builds to more of a expresso/mocha towards the end, gotta' love 'em.

Anyone know an online retailer that might have some WOAM's? Called my B&M today and they're not expecting any

I just had my first of these this week too (it's been a great week, lol).

Like the Opus, the WOAM had a long, evolving finish between puffs. I think your description is right on. Very nice, and spicier than I expected compared with the Hem. Classic maduro.

As far as recommendations, if you're diggin the spice + chocolate thing, I personally like:

Liga Privada No. 9
Padron '64
El Triunfador
Perdomo Reserve Maduro (old blend)
Perdomo ESV '91 Maduro
CAO MX2
CAO Brazilia

Super tasty stick!! Even better with some age on it!

 

[USNStoops]

My list of cigars to look for at the AF store in Vegas keeps growing. I really hope they only have like one of the cigars on my list or I may need to get a night gig at a local chip and dales so I can get back to base.

......good smokes, if your budget conscious and with availability issues of the hemi maduros; then the el triunfador and the padron 4000 or 5000 are a good choice for this flavor profile.

CAO MX2

AWESOME smoke. Loved that one.

I've never heard of these before...have to see if my local has it. Another great cigar for beginers is the "Occidental Reserve". Give that one a try!:thumbsup:
