Had my second Fuente Hemingway "Short Story" (teeny mini-perfecto) since trying one about 2 years ago and being generally unimpressed. This time I had to admit it was a quality smoke. It's the first Hemingway I've had that's burned right and tasted good from beginning to end.
I might change my opinion on the Hemingway cigar hysteria if I start getting more experiences like this. One thing I did differently was snip a tiny bit off the tapered foot so it would light easier. I've never had to do that with other perfectos, but it really seemed to make a difference on this one. The burn was consistent and the flavor stayed rich and robust.
I got this one from Cigars Direct and they take obvious care in their warehousing and shipping.
A nice little 30-minute cigar if you can afford it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the Short Story. I like this size as well. I smoke them a little slower though. The Short Story is probably a 30 to 40 minute smoke for me.
Good stuff! Keep up the good work.

These are great to recommend to newer smokers- thanks for the snipping tip!
I have always had a good experience with these, I agree with Tampa too.... it's usually at least a half hour for me as well
Ok guys, you're right. It did take me about 30 minutes to smoke this. I updated it in the review.
