Review Notes: This one was a bit pricey, but several of the other Hemingways have been so good, and this one name told me to buy it. I got 2 at $9/ea. The overall construction was excellent, the burn and ash .. superb. As for the flavor, a bit mild for my liking, but as it burned down, I definitely enjoye it much more. Had a nice woodsy flavor with a hint of spice. Give this one a chance, it was a slow starter, but once it got going, you can put it down... :)

Review Notes: I like to keep a few of these around as it its a great smoke that gets better with time in the humidor. I love the hemi flavour ant the extra time given by the classic versus the shot story. Take care of them because the wrapper does not take rough handling well.

Review Notes: This was the second time I tried this cigar. The first time I could not decide if I liked it or not and thought it needed to age a little. So I went to the store and bought three, one to smoke and two to age. Well I wish I hadn't. shape and construction was good, as was the draw but flavor was flat, leathery and woody. No complexity or balance. I doubt that aging will improve this cigar.

Review Notes: I just go through smoking one of these. This is another cigar from my spending spree at the local cigar shop. Let me start by saying this is the first of the Hemingway line I have tried. What a great looking cigar, a dark rich wrapper, and the Figuardo shape. I have heard so much about these; I couldn’t wait to smoke it. I didn’t particularly care for the construction of the cap, the rest of the cigar looked and felt great. The draw was good, unlit and lit. The only problem I had with this cigar is that it canoed on me immediately. It worked itself after the first 2 inches, after that it burned flat even the rest of the cigar. The ash was a great dark gray in color and kept holding for about an inch and a half each time. The taste had definitely a woody flavor and was very smooth medium bodied for the first three quarters. The finish was completely different, it became spicy and more full bodied, a great finish. One thing I really like a about this is cigar was the aroma. I ran outside to grab some thing from my vehicle and when I came back inside I couldn’t believe the great aroma coming from all the smoke. I paid $10.00 for the Classic, a little pricey but I think it was worth it. BOTTOM LINE: Very good smoke, meticulous construction, great taste, a little too expensive to be an everyday smoke. Maybe I will come into some money and be able to smoke these all the time.

Review Notes: Expected a 10 got a 7. Hype had my expectations high. Too harsh and not enough distinguishable flavor. Beautiful perfecto though.
