AF Hemmingway Short Story Review

Well I smoked my first short story tonight, and I see what everyone has been raving about. flavor on this was delicious... not really sure how to describe it other than to say it was tobacco flavor. Exactly what you'd expect out of a bigger Arturo Fuente cigar, but just condensed into a tiny little package very smooth, kinda creamy smoke. i was very suprised that it'd be that smooth, being such a small little cigar.
it didn't get harsh until about the last inch. i basically nubbed this thing, and it was done in a half hour

this was gifted to me by papajohn67. Thanks again john!

Re: AF Hemmingway Short Story

Thanks for the review! I've got to pick up some of these... the damn weather outside is definitely cramping my style with the longer smokes I have so far. You haven't by chance tried the Fuente Chateau have you? It's another on my list of short smokes & I was looking to find some opinions on both of them before I go for a box.

Re: AF Hemmingway Short Story

My favorite short smoke! Great review!! I usually like these when I'm driving or at work. Great 30 minute sticks.

Re: AF Hemmingway Short Story

Nice review--now go get a whole box! And don't burn them up all at once...do one a month and by the time you get to the last couple of smokes, they'll really blow your overalls off.

Re: AF Hemmingway Short Story

Great review bro, the AF SS was one of the first that I smoked when I first picked up on this lifestyle.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I don't think I've met anyone who didn't like their Short Story experience.

The Chateau Fuentes are a pretty good smoke, it was the first box I bought. It's a nice 45min-1hr smoke, a little spice at the begining then with woody hints all over. Great for beginners, also try the maduro and the sun grown version.
The sun grown version is IMHO the best one out of the bunch.

Re: AF Hemmingway Short Story

I picked one of these up the other day, and loved it. I'm not big on boxes, but I'll definately pick up a fiver or two.


And I second buying AF Chateau Fuentes. I love the sun grown version... Can't get enough of them.
