I beleive so... I did order from them as well a while back so we'll see if I get the same letter.

I love the hemingway line, especially the maduros and have smoked a few BTLs. I found them to be more of a novelity and definately not worth the price. I didn't find the flavor any better either. For me, I'd take the WOAM over it any day. You can find them for sale easily but at $500 - $600...

Interesting... I just smoked an Avalito last night after receiving a sampler. It started off like it was going to be a little powerhouse with a bit of spice but after about a half inch, it did a 180, losing all it's spice and I was struggling to get a taste from it. It picked up a bit towards...

:thumbs: I posted on someone else's review, but I love 'em. So much so that a bought a couple of boxes. Cigar seemed stronger then the regular v line. I'm hoping, after they rest a bit, that the sweetness of the maduro wrapper comes out a little more to balance the spiciness.

I had one of these over the weeekend and agree that it's an excellent cigar. Nice full body and spicy with a strong leather taste as well. I expected more of a sweet taste with the maduro wrapper but I really didn't notice much of one. Definatley worth a try, espeically if you like the regular...

That looks familiar :laugh:

Having finally outgrown my two desktops in four years and getting the wife's approval while meeting her requirments (no coolers and limited space to put it) I ordered a mini back in February. I ordered the standard one in maple with the digital set & forget humidification. It arrived a couple...

I have some 1950's that I also won from a cigar auction site and it has a similar label to the one you are questioning- brighter red circle and a slight white outline to the letters although not as prominent as yours. I don't have one to compare from a B&M as I'm out of those, but the taste...

I consider myself lucky as mine lives only 2 miles away. :love:

Cigar King is having a special on 10 packs of Hemingway Classic for $49.95.

Thanks for all the education, part of what makes this board so great. Couple of last notes. The embossing is very light on both labels and completley absent on the bottom gold ring on the red label. The Short Churchills label, when I took it off, has a number 50 to the left of Cuba but I'm not...

Well, here is what it looks like inside. I've never really opened a cigar before but it looks like mostly long filler but there are so many shades of color in there.

I also noticed, and you can see, the gold stamping on the front of the box is way off. The Romeo y Julieta in gold is off the red bannered background and into the image. If you guys are pretty sure these are fakes, I'm going to light one up and then cut it open to see what's inside.

My neighbor (again) dropped off some "cuban" cigars in a box as he doesn't smoke and knew I enjoyed cigars. They are R&J Short Churchills (non-tubed) in a box labeld "5 Short Churchills." I don't know if they make them in a 5 pack but these cigars look very suspect to me. I'm no expert but...

I'm close by - couple towns over. There is a smoking bar right in Morristown - The Side Bar I think it's called.

Anejo 46 from this year and it's among my favorite Anejo's right next to the shark.

Man that sucks... :sign: Happy B-day. I turned 40 last year and it was the first time I really thought about birthdays... :laugh:

Very nice.... but are you sure its the babies who are crying :laugh:

Damn, my local B&M did something similar (calling and then coming down and getting a different price) and their prices are just as high.

It is SRPH02BR from Home Depot but looks like it is out of stock and back to regular price. For $135, I couldn't pass it up.
