Would you guys keep on the lookout for Short Story Maduros?

[shilala]

I saw they should be sitting around shortly, if not already. I was always a big fan of Fuente's Hemingway Short Story's, but they got entirely too mild for me as I hogged up my goat-like palette along the way.
I've been smoking less and further apart and I'm enjoying a lot of milder sticks again. I think I'd really enjoy these. I'd like to lay up a couple boxes if at all possible, and I expect them to be sitting at B&M's more than at the big online places.
Let me know if you run into them, will you please?

I'm headed in shortly, James has a good Fuente selection and will send them out. I'll see if he has them and give you his number if he does.

Don't you want this Cigar Discussion?

Contact Ol' Times found here on CA in the retailer section. They have been selling Fuente before Fuente was cool. They should be able to help you out. And they are a great local B&M here in Central FL.

[Mattso3000]

Don't have them, sorry.

These are coming out? I know there are a few from eons ago, but if there is going to be a regular release then I'll need to stash some cash.

I sure do, Dave. I struggled with which category to put it in.

I will do that, Wayne. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for looking, Matt. It's much appreciated.

Yes, they're ready to go, from my understanding.
They did come out in 2005 for a benefit, I think they made 250 of them. Guys have paid $150 for a single from that time.

Are all short storys the same or are these called Hemingway short storys?

[shilala]

Short Story's are all Hemingways, these are actually Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Maduros. The regular or natural short storys have a cameroon wrapper over a dominican filler and binder. Any of the Hemingways are tougher to find in a maduro wrapper.

The B&M has A. Fuente short story but they don't say Hemingway on the box.

I never paid attention to the box, that's a good catch. I'd think it'd be on the inside lid. I'd go downstairs and look if I weren't so lazy.
Hemingway is the name of the blend, actually, if that helps. No idea why the box wouldn't be marked up. Probably because it's the only cigar they make called "short story". That blend has cool names for all the sizes.

I just looked at my daughter's "bug collection box" and it doesn't say "Hemingway" on or inside of it.

Have you tried Tampa SweetHearts? You have to e-mail or call for the Hemingway Maduros.

Until you guys mentioned it, I had never noticed that the Short Story boxes don't say "Hemingway" on them, unlike most of (all?) the rest of the boxes in the line.

Neato.

To my knowledge the Short Story boxes do not say Hemmingway on them, only "Short Story" under the clasp.
The other boxes either have it imprinted on the top or inside or both.





I could be wrong, but Fuente used to release some of the harder to find stuff around the December holiday season (including Between the Lines (barber pole SS)

I thought the BTLs were the same size as the Best Sellers.

You're not wrong Kelly, Father's Day and December Holiday season (ie: late November) was still the case as of last year for most of the HTF stuff.

I'm going to call a couple places today. I think I'm a bit early. I'll start by calling Darlene the Cigar Girl at Tampa Sweethearts. She'll know if they're out yet, I bet.

I've liked all the Hemingway maddies I've had. Can't wait to try these myself.

Saturday bump for all the weekend B&M crawlers.
