Truly a stunning stick. Starts off mild, and light. Opens up to cocoa and almost caramel flavor. Decent burn. beautiful appearance. Wish Fuentes would make enough of these to be my every day stick. less

easy light, good draw, excellent even burn with solid ash, almost made it to the end. Did last over half an hour. Flavor was not bitter and did have hint of leather. Great with a fine port. less

"Poorly Constructed and Disappointing"

Maybe I just got a bad one. The construction was very poor quality. The cap was coming apart right out of the cellophane wrapper right when I got it home from the FSS store in Easton. The wrapper had a few blemishes. Did not expect this from a pricey cigar. I went ahead and lit it up anyway since I have been looking forward to this smoke for some time given the mostly very positive reviews. Taste was OK until the rest of the wrapper started to split and tase went very acrid. The complete wrapper then started to come off. One of the worst cigar experiences I ever had. In general I feel that all Fuentes are very overpriced as they try to market them as very rare and very high quality. What a joke. less

"Hemingway Signature Rocks! Long Live Fuente!"

10 years ago after a 5 year clean out from cigarettes; I smoked my first fine cigar and that was the Hemingway Signature. I was in a jaccuzzi on The Big Island at the 4 seasons in a bungalow on the beach. This was the cigar that made me a life-long AF fan. The Cameroon wrapper can be a bit brittle just out of the cigar shop but, let them get cozy in your humidor for a few months and WOW! A few years, even better. As far as the shape and difficulty in lighting... nonsense. The small tip, when lit properly will burn and expand effortlessly and soon, your stogie is well lit. Viva La Fuente!!! less

"Dissapointed"

Everything about this cigar is great, except for the earthy aftertaste. The smoke is very mild, easy to light, good over all construction, great burn, and consistent draw. I just can't get over the aftertaste, it really ruins all the great attributes. I would not buy this cigar again. less

"Bad on all accounts... except one."

I can't believe such a lousy cigar can taste so good. Here's a list of the bad traits: Gum paste smeared on the wrapper, holes and leaks, patches in the wrapper that should have made them seconds, that ridiculous closed foot never lights straight, it's not really a perfecto, it's just a just a parejo (Corona Gorda, to be specific) with a closed foot, they sell it as a 6" cigar, but it smokes a half-inch or more shorter than that, tight-ish draw, low smoke volume, etc, etc. But the taste... You take the bad with the good on this one, but for me, that sweet buttery taste makes it all worth while. less

The incomparable Fuente Hemmingway series in an outstanding small Perfecto that is just right for after lunch, when you don't have time to get into a larger smoke, before returning to work. In the 23 years that I have been enjoying cigars, I have yet to come across a problem with a Hemmingway Short Story. less

I had hurd about Arturo Fuentes but couldn't understand all the fuss until I tried the Hemingway master Peace. Rich tasting smoke with a bit of spice. The spice doesn't over power the natural richness of the tobacco, excelent distinct aroma and smoke every time. Richness improoves with aging. A great one for any level cigar smoker. less
