Have My Own Room

![]() ![]() 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 |

you can see the end starting to unravel, in the third and fourth pic, once I took the band off it came loose, but I was able to hold it together and finish this beauty. |

Saw a box in Corona a couple days ago. Not bad at 10 bucks as this is a great smoke.

Not sure. I got one I've had for awhile. I believe it came from Tampa Sweethearts, and it does say sungrown on the sticker.

I believe the Hemingway Classic Sun Growns have been released before. The 8-5-8 Sun Growns as well (of course). I think this is the first time the Fuente's have released boxes of Hemingway Signature Sun Grown. I know folks have got their hands on Hemingway Signature Sun Grown in the past but I think they were individual cigars handed out at specific Fuente events.

This is the first time Fuente has released the classics in a sun grown wrapper. A few years ago, they released under 100(89 I believe) boxes of the signatures in a sun grown wrapper to B&Ms who won some sort of sales contest. I want to say it was in 2004 or 2006.
Both of the latest release are stellar!!! |

I haven't had a smoke in almost 4 days. This is really tempting me, my B&M got plenty to spare

As soon as my B&M got these in he made sure I knew about it. I love these. I just wish they would put a different band or something. Side by side you can see. Now I am waiting on the short story or best seller. Best seller being my go to morning stick. Great review you hit it dead on with that cinnamon. Perfect this time of year.
