There is a thread running on Hemmingways and their wrappers. Someone brought up the Sungrown Classic and I have never smoked or even seen one.

I am hoping there might be someone out there who would be willing to trade me one (or more?). I have super premium sticks to trade on my end - Opus, PAMs, Hemmi Maddies, DC Max, whatever.

Thanks!

They were only issued once,

There are probably a few around, but not many.

I have never even seen one, except in pictures.

Good Luck.

Hemi maddies are quite common especially this time of the year.

I was lucky enough to get 2 Hemi SGs from a trade. I smoked one wasn't impressed so the other has been napping over a year.

He's probably BS-ing you. Here's info:

"(7" x 48), these are Hemingway Classic cigars with a Sun Grown wrapper. They were released in early 2003, as a promotion for dealers who won the Fuente contest. 165 boxes (with 25 cigars per box) total were made available."

There were several stores in New Jersey that had these in. I took several roadtrips and was able to get approx 15-17 of these. I traded/gifted most of these away, but kept about 2 or 3 for myself.

Sorry, not looking to trade, just thought I'd share some info on these. They are very rare and hard to find.

Good luck !

Thanks for the info Lowman.

Yes, it is the Hemmingway Classic Sungrown that I am looking for.

I already have 858 Sungrowns.

Anyone?

I have a second confirmation that these are currently for sale at Casa Fuente in the Forum Shops, Ceasers Palace Las Vegas. They are selling for $500 a box or around $20 a stick.

Looks like they are making them in small quantities again. Woohoo!

Anyone headed to Vegas?

Kazama -

I'm moving, and don't have time, But I have one for you if you can wait 4-6 weeks. Send me a reminder and your snailer to mrtelcom at gmail dot com.

BTW, I think these appeared at the CF shop for a very short time, don't know, but I doubt they are making any more of them regularly. I'm sure they will do another relase one of these days.

Mine are original release in any event.
