Hemingway

[wpeloqui]

Fuente Hemingways have to be my favorite stick. I prefer them to any of the ISOM cigars I have purchased over the years.

I have to add that I smoked my first Hemmingway last weekend (a short story.) I have been smoking cheaper sticks recently (and ones that I thought were good) but someone gifted me this to celebrate with. Well, let me tell you, I must have forgotten what good cigars were like, because from the first puff until I burned my lips and fingers, I was simply amazed! These are DA BOMB, to speak in the vernacular of the peasantry. It's good to be reminded once in a while what good cigars taste like.

I definitely love the hemingway lines. I picked up a couple of the Bestsellers yesterday at my local shop for $8 a piece and just by looking at them, i know they'll be yummy...

Short Stories are my favorite quick smoke these days!

Work of Art kicks A$$ as well IMO!!

Speaking of the Work of Art, any input from the peanut gallery? Just bought a lot of 10 and they should be here any day. So what do you guys think?

 

[FatherTiresius]

While I haven't smoked a Work of Art, I have yet to smoke the Hemingway that I didn't like. Same goes for the DC and SG lines. I've smoked a few from the regular AF line and didn't think they were anything special.

I consider the WOA one of the best in the Hemingway line. The best ones would be the Untold Story and the WOA in maduro. :thumbs:

One my favorite smokes is the Hemmingway "Classic" :love: I love to sit back and just savor this smoke smooth, tasty well constructed!

Are the Hemingways expensive where you live? I have never smoked one. I bought my first one tonight and then sent it out to someone else. I only had to pay $6.10 for the single. Seems cheap for such a sought after stick. How much are they where you live?

They aren't too hard to find.I haven't bought any in a good while but I remember paying somewhere around 5-6 bucks for short stories.

Hemingways are decent sticks, but I tend to find them oone dimensional and a bit mild for my liking. Maybe a BTL or IBTL would be different. Anyone got one for me to try??

Joe I find the BTL to be the least flavorful of the line. Go figure.

 

[FatherTiresius]

Everything's kind of expensive here because of the sin tax. Not as bad as a lot of place but you don't want to buy many boxes here. I did find a box of Signatures online for $150 about a year ago. Mike's Cigars, in case you're curious.

Well I've never smoked one Bill and to be honest if I did have 1 or 2 I'd probably never smoke them either. There just so cool to look at.

I have to agree with this statement. I don't find the regular lines of Fuente (green bands) to be anything special. On the other hand, their black band cigars (Don Carlos, Hemmingway, Sun Grown), white bands (Anejo) and Opus X lines are in my opinion some of the best out there. With the domestic premi's of Padron 64's, Ashton VSG's ad Diamon Crown all lined up in a row with them.

I have had several Short Stories as it is one of my all time favorite cigars, and will have to say 2 things about them. The 2001 and prior were awesome. The new ones are not as awesome - good but not the awesome level that previous years crops were. I am not sure if it is because of vintage or aging. I do intend on getting a few from this year again just to age and see if that's the ticket.

I have only had a couple of the Maduro's a Signature and a Work of Art. Both were very great cigars. The only cigars in the line I haven't had yet other than Maduro's not listed are:

BTL
Untold Story
Masterpiece

I do have to say that the shorter end of the spectrum - Works of Art, Short Stories and Best Sellers, are better than the Classics and Signatures (not to say these cigars are bad - I enjoy them too).

Ok, now I am wanting a Hemmingway or a Don Carlos *sighs*

I have only had 1 that I considered really good. The rest just bland. So I trade or pass them away when I get them.

Y'all are convincing me to take the next 2 1/2 hours and go smoke the (1) and only Masterpiece I've got. Anyone got a spare or 2 to send so's I don't feel so bad about smoking this one? :lookup: :sign: :sign:

 

[STYX&STONED]

Just you go sit and smoke the one you have and enjoy it. There will always be more to be had. I just got a 10 pak of the Work Of Art out of the mail box and I'm on my way to the back field to sit and enjoy 1......or 2.

Rats :angry:

Another failed mooch attempt

 

[stogieman]

Hey Horse, let me show you a good mooch attempt. :sneaky:

You just got a 10 pack of the Work Of Arts out of the mail box huh? :thumbs:

 

[Allofus123]

Mark, sometimes you have to mooch for the correct cigar. Now had you said does anyone have an extra Maduro Masterpiece I bet you would have been mooch successful!
