While I would probably lean towards the non-barber poles in the Hemingway line, the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Between the Lines is a nice variation. The price point is fairly high for the short smoking time, but I could see coming back to this on occasion.
Overall, the God of Fire Aniversario 56 was a pleasant experience along with very good construction. While I could see coming back to this cigar from time to time, the high price point puts a bit of a damper on that. Releases like this are fun to experience, but as is the case here, show that they are ones that are usually worth it once, but not on a regularly recurring basis.
Famous Smoke Shop has announced the arrival of the Fuente Don Carlos Personal Reserve, “The Man's 80th” selection in a special, limited release box of 10 Robusto made exclusively for Famous Smoke Shop's 80th Anniversary.
This is a cigar I've had in the humidor for just over six years and it has aged wonderfully. If you've had some of these sitting in the humidor, it's time to grab one to enjoy. I have another one left and I'm looking forward to the time I can reach for it and do this again.
There were three different cigars inside this wrapper. I only wish the technical side of the cigar was up to the same level as the flavors.
The Eye of the Shark was not bad, but it was not great. For something like this, I expected something really special. In that sense you could say it was disappointing.
Although the first two thirds proved complex and tasty, the last third still needs time to meld into what the first two thirds provided.
