That sux, from what I have experienced, Fuente makes a quality product, sorry this one didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.

I have yet to smoke a Fuente I've really enjoyed.

Don Carlos: Meh.
Hemingway: Yech.
Sun Grown Cubano Belicoso: OK.
Fresh 2007 Opus X: Meh, over priced, gimme a DPG 1979.
2004 Opus after four years: It was OK but given the price, I'd rather smoke Habanos Torres.
Añejo Shark: Appreciated the generosity, it was OK.
Diamond Crown Maximus: OK, a little pricey for what I got.
Diamond Crown Robusto No. 4: Sucked.
Ashton VSG: OK.
Ashton Aged Maduro: Meh.
Prometheus God of Fire: Good but way too much.

I'm a bit of a fan of the Hemingway line, but I personally think that they benefit from a bit of rest and from not being overly humidified. It is entirely possible that if you got it at a B&M that it had been stored at a higher rh. Then again, I find most fuente cigars to be a bit bitter if they're stored closer to 70% so my taste buds could be nuts.

I stop by my local B&M whenever I am in the area with an hour to spare. This is one of the few cigars I will buy and smoke there, I still enjoy them, but only smoke a couple a year. Too many other cigars are less expensive and more enjoyable to me for me to buy more than 1 Hemingway at a time.

I'm a fan of the line as well one of the few milder cigars I enjoy. Though I was disappointed by an 8-5-8 today.

Not a huge Hemmingway fan either, but I'm a huge fan of the VSG... at least for now.

I use to like them, but now they are just too mild and grassy tasting. It's still my wife's favorite cigar, so I buy a box when I see them on sale.

Wow there are a lot of good cigars on that list that you dislike or just find OK.

Me thinks it may be a psychological thing going on with their cigars.

Not to say your wrong, you know what you like, but wow.
