Default Arturo Fuente Hemingway - Work of Art

https://arturofuente.com/hemingway-4/

So, i picked this up looking to try some of the other offerings in the hemingway line. I've been a bit of a short story and signature snob in recent years and wanted to venture out and expand my universe a little so i thought i'd buy one and give it a review

Appearance: Milk chocolate wrapper almost like a snickers bar with no flaws to speak of.

Draw: Draw is perfect with a little vanilla and cinnamon




coffee, hints of pepper, burnt caramel, vanilla, floral notes, a little bit of earthiness, small notes of chocolate starting to build, sweet tobacco, cinnamon, a little spiciness here and there but nothing consistent, nuttiness, cedar, a lot of classic hemingway flavors, creaminess, very light leather notes as well, a small amount of tea leaf as well


tea, coffee, chocolate, sweet tobacco, creaminess, some leather, still a light amount of tea leaves, nuttiness almost like roasted almonds, pepper, slight cherry cola taste coming in now, also some dry fruit like dried pineapple,


coffee with cream, sweet tobacco, pepper, leather, dry fruit less sweet now, more cocoa and less chocolate, woodiness, earthiness like freshly tilled soil, burnt caramel sweetness, nuttiness, some breadiness, a little spiciness

Smoke: Not a lot of smoke coming out to start but as the cigar opened up smoke started pouring out of this

Burn: burn was a little wonky at first but evened up perfectly after the first inch. The sign of a well constructed cigar

Ash:I probably shouldn't have ashed this more than halfway through but i don't like babysitting a long ash but as you can see it's a testimony to how well constructed this cigar is

Finish: well, now that i've tried it what did i think. I think it was a slightly more peppery signature, i know halfwheel smokes 3 cigars in a review to get a better idea of the blend and i really want to do that here because it's not really fair to review a cigar based on one cigar, in the future i'm going to get two cigars to review. This isn't a bad cigar by any stretch but i'm looking for what is unique about it compared to the other offerings in the brand and i didn't really find it here in this one cigar. To be fair i'm going to smoke another maybe this week and post how that goes to see if it changes my opinions, I will say the finish was much better than the first two thirds and i wish it's had been that way for at least half of the cigar. either way it was a fine cigar and i will smoke another to be fair. i hope you enjoyed this review and have a blessed day! God bless you all!
