Took the wife and our girls to the zoo today. Afterwards we hit cold stone and then dropped them off at Hobby Lobby. I headed onto my favorite shpo.

My take home included...

3 Anejo 888 -they had a whole box, only 1 missing before I got my 3
2 Anejo #48s -love me some churchills and corona gordas, say 47-48 rg and I'm listening
2 8-5-8 sungrowns -getting quite a few of these on hand which is good b/c I hear they age well.
1 Hemingway signature -had one of these before but I sent it out on a trade, excited to try one finally.
2 Woams -thought I had one of these, but it was a Hemingway best seller maduro but like above it went out on a pass.

Non Fuente
2 LFD Colorado oscuro #5s -big rg cigar but they look good enough to eat
1 Illusione Rothschildes -as consistent as old faithful

If you like that Hemi Signature,and I'm sure you will,you need to try the Hemi Signature SG's.Hands down my favorite AF as well as my favorite SG.

My second favorite AF is the Magnum R 44............

My value pick in the AF line is the Cuban Corona.......always delicious and under $4 per stick by the box.

The Signature and Classic are my favorite violas in the Hemingway range, I really don't care for SS or WOAN/WOAMs/BTL.

Like ^ Ron said you HAVE to try a SG Hemingway. Amazing cigar, also try a maduro in the Classic or Signature size. And the R44 isn't much more than a Cuban Corona, and worth EVERY penny. They are the best bargain in the cigar world to me (along with the RyJ en Cedros).

Helluva score you made! I relaly want to try that 888, and the LFD CO is an awesome smoke (plenty of strength and molasses IMO).

My name is Jamie, and I'm a Fuente ho too.

Ok correct me if I'm wrong but from what I googlefu-d, the Fuente Hemingway sungrown has a band with green accents, a cedar sleeve and a red silk band around the foot? Regular Hemingway has the black band like the sungrowns usually have?

So many variations on Fuentes. 🇨🇮

I've got 3 R52s, shop didn't have the R44s.

K I think that I must have gotten a sg then, I never looked on the box to see what it said.

Cameroon wrapper is more of a medium brown whereas the SG is much darker...but slightly less dark than the maduro. Without a basis of comparison / experience, you may be hard pressed to tell them apart. I guess next time you're in that area you'll have to stop into the shpo and make sure (...and pick up more...). Either way, they're great smokes.

I opened up the humidor and glanced at the Hemingway, on second look I think it is a natural wrapper.
