"ambrosia"
a unique and delicious combination of spice, chocolate and wood. Intoxicating. Remarkable now- but will be priceless when aged for several years.

"No thank you!"
Not sure, maybe I had a bad one or two, but could anyone tell me what the difference is in these versus the others in the Hemingway line. These had a dusty undertone and very boring in my opinion. Maybe I'll have to try again later on, but lately the Fuente line up has been leaving me quite disappointed.

"Good but not great!"
I was definitely expecting more from this cigar, but as I smoke more and more cigars the Hemingway series seems to become more of a cigar I like to give people as a gift rather than smoke it myself. As with the entire line this cigar was nice and spicy with a woody core and an interesting mineral taste, which added a nice little twist to it. Initially, the draw was loose, but it improved very quickly as the smoke progressed. The smoke was thick and quite strong and the burn was even all the way through. The ash was solid, but had some holes in it and was not very sturdy, which is rather odd for a Hemingway, because they are in my opinion one of the most consistently well constructed cigars on the market. I love the easy light up of the cigar and the figurado shape is beautiful and just makes it a lot of fun to smoke. However, the finish was short lived due to the poor construction of this particular cigar. I will definitely be expecting more from the next one of these I smoke.

"To the Nub"
This has to be one of the best short smokes out on the market. The wrapper is a bit rough yet it had lots of oil to it. The cap cut even and the foot lit true. The ash was solid and held a salt and pepper color. The taste was medium to full and had notes of nutty wood with a pleasant finish of sweet spice on the palate, just a excellent smoke.

"Short but sweet"
Started off a little spicy and uneven, but settled into a medium bodied nice even smoke that I wish was a tad longer. Maintained a little bite while holding it's ash with a sweet finish.

"Super!"
another spectacular Fuente cigar! At first I didn't think I liked this as much as the Short Story, but it gained that Hemingway flavor profile quickly, with chocolate and woodsy tones. Lots of smoke with an easy draw and a perfect Fuente burn, holding its ash more than half way through. A nice long finish, just a great cigar!

"Awesome smoke"
There is only one word to describe this cigar..."awesome". I have been smoking cigars for quite some time and have never really given Fuente the credit that they deserve. I finally decided that it was time to give them a fair shot, and man am I glad that I did. This is an awesome cigar that tastes great and is the perfect 30 minute smoke (especially if your wife will only put up with smoking for just so long). If I am at my cigar store I will smoke the Signature now, but for at home this smoke is the perfect one. My everday smoke now.

"Exquisite Smoke"
This little stick redefines Cigar elegance - a rustic but stylish perfecto/figurado with a mellow Fuente dark cocoa/espresso bouquet. I imagine that you could light one of these in any company and no one would look down their Habano at you.

"Gran Reserva"
Excellent smoke. Creamy smoke with a spicy finish. Just a slight bit of sweetness rounds out this superior cigar.

"What I expected"
I have been a Hemingway fan for years, but I have never tried the WOA until now. Wonderful draw and construction and easy to light. The flavor was complex with a spicy/woody taste that was very medium bodied in my opinion.

"Wow!!"
This cigar looked great and did not let me down after lit up. Rich, round and complex medium bodied smoke. Well balanced between spiciness and hearty flavors. One of the bests among the Hemingways!!

This is, by far, the best cigar I ever smoked! The draw was effortless and the taste was as expected in an Arturo Fuente Hemingway: fantastic! Well worth the dollars.

Even though a small size, did not smoke fast or hot. Ash stayed intact 3/4's of the smoke. Big flavor.

This cigar has but one problem.
It needs to be about a 1/2 in longer for even more smoking pleasure.
