Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature Revisit

So I first smoked one of these about two years ago. I smoked half of it, declared it **** and lamented the money I spent on it. Well today I was updating the descriptions for the Hemingways on our site and figured I'd revisit it.

Bad idea. Waste of $8 after tax. It was well constructed. It held an ash for two inches before I ashed it. It was very subdued. Nothing popped, stood out or sang to me. The cigar tasted like sweetened envelope adhesive, paper, some bitterness, and a little Cameroon sweetness. Blah. I smoked it all the way down hoping it would get better. Nope, didn't happen. Then when I went to remove the band the adhesive tore off a good chunk of wrapper.

Overall I give this cigar a 4.5/10. Definitely not going to smoke one again.
