"An Excellent Cigar"
I had been a fan of the AF 858 when a good friend gave me several Hemingways to try out. Until that time, I had heard about the Hemingway but I had never tried one. Wow, was I favorably impressed! The draw was smooth and even. And the taste was absolutely wonderful. I thought I had found my "favorite cigar". Not long thereafter, my friend gave me several AF Don Carlos' to try. I was equally amazed. While the taste was more complex and totally different from the Hemingway, I'm having difficulty determining which is my favorite. I still like the 858 for an "everyday" cigar, but I keep a supply of Hemingway and Don Carlos for those special times when I need to fully de-stress, and just kick back and escape.

"A fantastic cigar, full of taste. I'm buying a box"
A wonderful cigar that I enjoyed smoking for over an hour! The best I've smoked in my search for the perfect cigar for "My Favorite" and repeat purchases! I'll be buying these regularly!

"Hemingway Classic - is all that and more!"
What a truly fantastic cigar! I've been smoking for about 20 years (since loooong before the "cigar boom"), and I tend toward maduros. The A. Fuente Hemingway Classic is exactly that: A Classic Cigar.
This is a medium-bodied smoke, not a full smoke like my maduros. But, this cigar has an intriguing complexity to satisfy the experienced Afficionado, and just plain delicious flavor that even a beginner will enjoy immensely.
The cigar itself is lovely to look at, and perfect on the draw. It has a good, even burn and produces a firm, lovely ash. And the aroma... It is like perfume, but not sweet. With plenty of luscious smoke, the Hemingway Classic produces the kind of rich, friendly aroma that will make a woman want to curl up and stay.
I highly recommend keeping a few of these around for all occasions. This is the kind of cigar you can give to anyone, experienced or beginner, and have a great smoke together. Absolutely wonderful!

"So dry the wrapper came off"
Less than a week after receiving a long awaited box of afhw three of us were going to have an Easter smoke. All three were dry but mine was to the extent that the entire wrapper turned loose.After waiting over two months,this is not what I expected from AF

"Simply the Best"
The fact of the matter is all A.Fuente cigars are good. After a long hard day at the office, I come home eat dinner and sit down with a glass of red wine and a beloved Hemingway Classic. There is nothing more enjoyabe. The draw, the burn, the aroma, the construction, and the taste are unbeatable. I love it. Simply the BEST!

"A wonderful cigar"
I tried this cigar while at the Casa Fuente cigar bar in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. What a great cigar! Beautiful draw and burn. Great flavors of wood, spice with a hint of berry. These are a must have in my humidor now.

"Simply the Best!"
Since 1992, this cigar has been simply the best. Every one of the hundreds I have smoked has been even burning, great tasting, not bitter and possessed of construction that lets one pleasurably smoke them down to the nub. Truly a masterpiece of consistency.
