Review Notes:
A.Fuente Hemingway Short Story, This little Cameroon wrapped perfecto, is a beauty to behold. A nice oily gleam catches my eye, as I peruse the wrapper looking for imperfections. And of course, there are none. I snipped the cap, with my cheap double bladed cutter, and UhOh Houston, we have a problem, a slightly ragged cut. Oh Well, Time for another cheap cutter, this one lasted me two years, pretty good for $2.50.
Anyway, back to the cigar. Prelight aroma, is almost non-exisistant. I toasted the foot, with my cheap triple torch, going on 6 months, better than all 3 of my Colibre lighters. The first couple of puffs are a tad tight, as usual with a perfecto tip. A very rich creamy smoke, explodes upon my palate, with a nice zip of spice from the cameroon wrapper. The Perfecto tip of a Hemingway always is a great spicy rich hint of great things to come. The burn, is just a kittle crooked at the start, probably due to carelessness on my part The flavors are of rich vanilla, with light notes of cinimon and nutmeg. The Burn selfcorrected by the end of the perfecto tip, and this medium bodied gem really began to shine, with notes of cocoa, nuts, leather, and coffee.
As it gets down to the nub, this wonderful cigar finishes with a burst of pepper. A very complex smoke, with constantly changing rich flavors. The ash held, for the entire duration of this smoke, about 40 minutes of heaven on earth.
The Short story Hemi. Has got to be one of my favorite smokes, partially because it was the first smoke, to make me say Ahhhhhh and take notice of the flavors. My only problem with this smoke, is that it is way too short, but the bigger natural Hemi’s just don’t compare to this spicy, rich, and complex smoke. I give this cigar a 4.3, for a superior flavor and excelant construction.
