  • A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy, aromatic and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Urban Hero in spring and summer and Manhattan in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Urban Hero is moderate on both, Manhattan long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
