    Yup! Short story. Glad i bought it over the counter and not ordered it out as I was a bit surprised and the size of it. But I still want to give it a go to decide if I order again.
    What size is the one in your first pic?

    Aw heck! I didn't have the Hemmingway yet; instead I had another one of the knock offs. REALLY like them too!

    Had a Fuente Hemmingway Short Story Maduro out on the deck yesterday in the 70° weather. It was nice.

    I never did report back on these. I've only smoked two of them so far, NOT very good at all. I guess for a buck and a half a stick, you get what you pay for. In-even burns, un wrapping, and they don't taste so hot. I'll use these for smoking late night after a bunch of drinks where you can't taste anything anyway! ;)

    Now there have been an occasional one or two that really knocks my socks off. But usually only one per two bundles. I haven't bought them for over a year now.

    I had that short story I bought a few days back.

    VERY good!

    Gonna have to do that again!

    The wrapper was delicate and had a hole in one spot that I hadn't noticed when I bought it and I thought it was going to be an issue while smoking but it wasn't.

    Had a Nub Connecticut yesterday. I'm not a big fan of CT wrappers, but this was not a bad smoke.

    They'll be about 3 weeks before there ready... when I get them in, I let them set about a month in the humidor, to settle out...

    Had a Good Diesel from last Christmas lastnight with a outside fire and it was darn good...

    Obviously a remake attempt at a sign. Math is a bit off!
    Lets see, three for 50 or two for 25! Hmmm.
