Review Notes: These cigars are a recent purchase, and have only been in my humi., about one week. A very nice perfecto, with a very dark, not quite oscuro maduro wrapper with no large veins, or other imperfections. This cigar is nicely firm to the touch, with no knots or soft spots. Prelight aroma is leathery, with a hint of spice. I clip the foot with my cheap double blade cutter, and toast the foot, with a cbid match, then light it with a second cbid match. A nicely firm draw releases a cloud of fragrant blue smoke, with a base of rich leather and light spice overtones. Much like it’s cameroon wrapper brother, this cigar has a classic hemingway flavor profile, but with an added richness provided by the conn. Broadleaf wrapper. A slightly uneven burn, at the start, typical of a nipple tipped perfecto, but I expect it will even out, once the cigar burns past the tip. Very creamy, leathery, almost chewy smoke, with a touch of nutmeg to start the show. At the ½” mark, the burn has self corrected, the draw has opened up, and this cigar comes into its’ own. The leather flavor seems to rise above the creamyness and becomes the most dominant flavor, at about the 1” mark, but it continues to have a nice spicy finish, with added notes of anise. The flavors seem to get much more complex, at the midway point, with the cigar alternating between leather and creamy, with the flavors of Anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg fighting for dominance, and a touch of black pepper makes its’ first appearance. Each puff releases a different flavor, and it really is very different with each draw. But each and every puff has a nice hint of sweetness, from the wrapper. The very firm light gray ash, fell a little past midway, and stayed relatively intact, after bouncing off my lap, onto the floor. A true testament to the quality construction of this cigar. The flavors just kept getting more complex, all the way to the nub, leaving me with a pleasantly tingling palate, and a super long finish. I am still tasting the spice, 45 minutes after I nubbed this cigar. I give this stick, a rating of 4.45, on a 5 point scale, due to excellent construction, superior taste and complexity. I realize that these are hard to come by, but I heartily recommend searching out and trying this wonderful limited production stick. Enjoy. Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)

Review Notes: A wonderful smoke. My box arrived a little dry, but once my humidor brought them back to the right moisture level this cigar has become a favorite. Slightly more powerful than the Short Story version (which was the first Hemingway I'd ever tried), but an absolute delight throughout.

Review Notes: I like the Hemingway cameroon taste but have often been disappointed with the wrappers falling apart. I have never had the same experience with the few maduros that I've smoked. These are much harder for me to find than the cameroons but are a much better smoke IMO.

Review Notes: Wonderful smoke. Very strong coffee and chocolate undertones. Burn was FLAWLESS! This is an amazing smoke, if you can get it.

Review Notes: Better than the last, the new crop of maddies is divine!
