Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature Revisit

[JJG]

I got one of these in trade along with a couple opus x, and an anejo. It wasn't terrible but of all the Fuentes I've tried, this was my least favorite. It just didn't do anything for me. I had high expectations and I thought it was a really pretty figurado but the flavor just wasn't there. The Anejo was great. Every Opus I've had has been really great and I love the Casa Fuente cigars, too bad they're all impossible to find

I don't know, Fuente frustrates me. They have some decent blends but they're way overpriced. Otherwise, I'd smoke them all the time. Someone needs to tell them this isn't the 90's anymore. There's no reason to drive all over town and pay $15-20 for an Opus X when I can pick up any number of cigars that are just as good or better at half the price.

This was an amazing smoke in the 90s. The taste was amazing. I didn't smoke one for almost 15 years and when I finally tried one, I was very disappointed. It was crap.

I would bet that they took the great tobacco that they used to use and are now using it on the opus X etc.. I smoked an Oliva O that reminded me of the old Hemmingway flavor.

Hemingways are all mild, subdued "beginner" cigars, or at least that's my feeling on them.
I love them, for what they are.
They've got everything a good cigar should have, at a power score of about a 1. They're beautiful, gorgeously constructed, have a full body and a pleasant flavor, draw well, give up lots of smoke, and stay consistant throughout.
You want a sucky Fuente? Try a curly head.

I enjoy the short stories every now and then. They are a nice change of pace.
