Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature

Extremely tasty, like the entire Hemingway line, and my current favorite.

Great size, great smoke volume, excellent burn,draw and construction

Can't go wrong with that one!! Am I the only one who thinks they taste like old leather-bound library books in the best way possible? It's a note that I detect and absolutely love in several AF sticks but especially the Hemingways.

I get a pretty similar taste too.
Leathery and a little earthy and musty is how I would describe them.

I've been a huge Fuente fan since I got my first one from a coworker, a Short Story.

Have been hooked on Arturo Fuentes and especially Hemingway's ever since.

Definitely my favorite nc maker

Have you tried any of the NC Cohibas? I like the Blues a lot. They have a sorta similarish profile and you can usually score them for cheap on the auction sites. I won't pay more than $5 a stick.

Tasty as always, and definitely a favorite of mine.

Great burn and draw, but the wrapper cracked up fairly badly while smoking.

Not a big deal as it didn't effect anything, but the first time with one of these I had any issues with.

Never figured out why this happens on various different smokes, as I always let everything rest and acclimate for a couple months on arrival, and my temperature and rh are steady at 68 degrees and 65% respectively.

I tried a few different ones about 10 years ago, and my notes on them say I enjoyed them, but haven't had any recently.

None were the Blues you mention. I'll have to give them a try with my next nc order

G'mornin' fellow BOTLers.

This goes out to OneStrangeOne, whose coffee habit I was so jealous of, I had to take a break from singing my morning Folgers jingle.

Yeah, I know, it's just Safeway brand, but still the best cuppa I've had in ages.

As for the cigar...it was inspired by realizing, in my last cigar craze, that a Drew Estate FSG was the best I'd ever had. Gotta try one again to see if it still holds the title.

Very nice, though a little dry from poor storage (always and forever a newb).
