cigar reviews review http:///cigarobsession.com Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic Natural This 7×48 stick offered a small open foot, that I would suggest cutting off before lighting, having tried it closed. The first 3rd of this cigar was the most mild experience I have had of any cigar, hands down. Barely any smoke or body, and the flavors were just a touch of sweet wood and a short clean finish. Pretty much like sucking warm air. The half way point finally woke it up, producing a normal amount of smoke, bringing the body and strength up to a medium point, adding flavors of caramel, nuts, creamy wood and leather at points, with a small spice kick on the finish. The last third brought a longer finish and higher strength, actually giving me a little buzz, although the body did not follow. The flavors near the end went to just a smooth nut and toasty taste with a parched finish. Photography by BG Pictures.

Not impressed with the Hemingways. Flavor profile wise? I found them un-complex. Well constructed but still not great. I’d take an 858 over any of the Hemingway Cigars.

Bryan, have you smoked more than just this one? If you haven’t, I really think you should as you seem to? have got a bum stick. I’ve got a box of these and they’re really some of my favorites, I definitely detected different flavors than what you were noting (particularly a good amount of cinnamon), and I just wonder if there’s another one in your future….

I’m new to cigar smoking… why do? people mention the ash holding on & why do they try to keep it on instead of ashing it like a cigarette?

Thanks for the review. I just bought one on a recommendation and have been nosing around looking for a review? so I could figure out a nice pairing. Judging from what you said, I think Templeton Rye whiskey would work. Thanks and subbed.

I don’t block comments. I turned off rating? because some assclown went around and was rating everything 1 star.

Im just wondering why you block comments and ratings on a lot of your videos…isn’t the discussion/ratings that follows? like the best part of posting videos?

haven’t tried the classic but i’m thinking the short story is just as you explained it. a classic cut in half. its a very short smoke but the? flavor is so enjoyable you wish it would last for hours. i’m glad a saw this review before picking up a bigger hemingway thinking it would deliver a the same experience as the short story but longer. thanks! ill stick with the short storys, hehe.
