About this cigar
Man O' War is an AJ Fernandez-made house produced in Nicaragua, and this anniversary edition revisits the full-bodied Ruination blend. An Ecuadorian Habano wrapper covers Nicaraguan binder and filler, delivering a dense, slow-burning profile with pepper, earth, dark sweetness and a firm finish.

Aging & storage · Guidance
How to keep it
General humidor guidance for this cigar, based on its wrapper, strength, ring gauge and packaging.
Storage
Hold the box at 65–70% relative humidity at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Steady humidity matters far more than the exact number — swings are what crack wrappers.
Rest after delivery
Thicker ring gauges hold shipping moisture longest — give these boxes three to four weeks in the humidor before the first one.
Aging window
Full-bodied blends reward patience: a year or two of quiet aging typically trades raw power for depth.
Limited release
Limited runs are not restocked. If you intend to age a box, buy the smoking box separately so the cellar box stays sealed.
In the box
Age them in their own box where possible — the cedar keeps the cigars marrying together instead of taking on the flavour of everything else in the humidor.
