Default hemingway signature (sungrown)


I went in looking for more 858 sungrowns, they were out of those but the guy behind the counter said they had a box of hemingway signatures with the sungrown wrappers. When I got into the humidor there was only one left in the box and I got it.

Construction: wrapper is oily, with some veins running throughout, there is a fair amount of tooth to the wrapper

Prelight: draw is a little on the tight side, not surprising due to the tapered foot, earthy taste to the draw

First Third: draw is a bit tight, strong chocolate flavor as well as some earth



Draw: opens up and is good within an inch

Burn: nice and sharp

Ash/Smoke: smoke volume increased as the stick burned down. Ash holds steady and would have held longer if I didnt want it in my lap



Second Third: still chocolaty also some nutmeg/cinnamon

Final third: some spice, strength and flavor increase



Strength: med

Flavor: med

Overall Impression: This is a finger burner. Great tasting smooth and really enjoyable. I got the last one but would love to have a couple more



Scoring

Construction:9/10
Prelight: 4/5
First Third: 14/15
Draw: 9/10
Burn: 10/10
Ash / Smoke: 9/10
Second Third: 10/10
Final Third:9/10
Overall impression: 18/20
Total Score: 92/100
