Arturo Fuente Hemingway Masterpiece

I bought a box of these a year ago and put them in the bulk humidor for almost a year and moved them to the humidor cabinet three months ago. Through the years I've experimented with most brands, their vitolas, fillers, wrappers, strengths, etc and have seen manufacturers hype succeed and others fail miserably. This one was the ultimate cigar experience. Broke them out after dinner for a friend and me. These long smokes are incredible. The burn was flawless, even draw and the aroma brought rave comments from the wives and non-smokers. The traditional premium Hemingway flavor was consistant and the last third built to a nice peppery but not overpowering finish. Nubbed it and left me wanting more. The Masterpiece is worthy of it's name and though not always easy to find will look to stock up on these at first chance. You will not be disappointed in this experience. Not to be missed. I seriously would seriously consider giving it a perfect score but that leaves zero room for a challenge from a future rising star.

Takes alot of humidor space that could have been used better. I bought 5 in natural and 2 maduro. They were in the humidor 5 years before I tried one. Nothing like the Untold Story. Tight draw. wrapper split not worth the $15.00

This cigar was very enjoyable from it's larger that life appearance, and near-flawless construction down to the last ash. However, I believe that this cigar is a little over priced. I feel that there are many cigars in the $4-$8 a stick price range that offer the same quality smoke. Perhaps the extra $7-$11 we pay is just for the Autro Fuente name?????

This was one big stick! I smoked an AF Hemingway Signature and it was good. Then I tried a Classic and it was better than the Signature, so what the heck, I decided to try this big sucker. I should have known something when Chris at Lake Tahoe Cigar Company offered to sell me a whole box for $170.00 (after I mistakenly quoted the price of a box of Signatures as the price of the same number of Masterpiece sticks back home). Besides the 34.95 price for a single stick in the casino smoke shop, I don't think these things were moving very well. Anyway, I refused his offer and took the single stick for the $20.00 that he dropped the price to (still overcharged) for this smoke.
Upon finding my way back to the Keno lounge, I fired this thing up. I happened to notice a couple of people giggling when they looked at me and my kingsized cigar. I also noticed my wife looking at me like "are you really going to smoke that thing?" Being a true cigar man, I ignored all the looks and began puffing. The taste of this cigar was not bad, but it was not as good as either of the above mentioned smokes. A previous review indicated that the stick filtered itself, and I tend to agree with that assessment. The construction was very nice as the cigar had a good even burn and an easy draw. Some things about this stick were typical AF. The only problem was it just kept burning and burning until finally I was sick and tried of this thing. After about two hours, I put it out with 3 or 4 inches left. So, if you want a really long smoke, this is the stick for you. Personally, the Classic or Signature will be my choice in the future.

Yes, it is a Fuente. Yes, it is well rolled, and a very nice burn and draw. Tastes good, but lacks any type of complexity. Save your money. Buy a 5 pack of Don Tomas Cameroon perfectos, for the same price as one of these Hemingways.

I found this cigar to be a bit mild for a Hemingway, but it did have the classic Fuente construction, burn and draw. Very nice ash and classic Fuente flavors. It was just probably to much of a good thing, it kind of gets lost in it's size. But still a very nice albeit looong smoke.

This cigar had the terrible tight draw and a very mild taste, if i could taste it at all. A waste of money.

I could kick myself for buying this. I smoked it within days of buying it, so when when it immediately started unravelling from both ends I must conclude it wasn't properly stored at some point. I like Hemi's but this was boring in every way - a novelty at best. Fourteen bucks can buy great smoke so, like I said, "never again."

This smoke is too long. I hae smoked bother natural and the maduro. Unfortnatly the size really holds back the flavor. It is a bit milder, due to some self filtering. Nice, but there are better values in this line.

Flawless construction and perfect draw, but lacking the favor and taste I would expect from a Fuente. Not as fun as it looked.

THIS CIGAR HAD AN AWESOME OILY SHEEN ON ITS WRAPPER! THE BURN, TASTE, AND SMOKE WAS CLASSIC FUENTE - VERY GOOD! I JUST WISH THAT I COULD FIND MORE!
