Lately I haven’t been able to hangout at my local cigar shop or on the online cigar forums as much as I once was. Life happens and with a wife, a dog, and two small kids my free time is nearly non-existent. So I was very surprised when I walked into my local shop after being gone for a while to find these new Hemingways sitting in the humidor. I guess I have fallen a little out of touch. After letting them sit in my humidor for the past month I am ready to spark this thing up and see what we have here.
I know very little about this version of the Hemingway. Is it a one time deal, a very rare release, or only somewhat rare like the Maduros? I have no idea but I bought a couple just in case I never see them again. Glad I did. the Rosado wrapper is a nice change-up for this smoke. The Signature Maduro is probably my all time favorite Hemingway Series cigar. I like this size and the Maduro wrapped version is just spectacular. The Rosado is nearly as good in a completely different way. It has a mild spice with a touch of cinnamon in there, all stacked on top of a core of leather and wood. I even picked up some subtle flashes of what I’d describe as applewood at times. It is a smooth medium body smoke and a real treat.

The 858 Rosado is probably one of my favorite cigars of all time (seriously). So when I heard these were coming out at the end of last year I was very excited.
Being that the Hemingway line is more full bodied than the regular line, I was concerned that the Rosado flavors would be obscured in a bolder blend. In some ways I was right. This cigar did not taste like the 858 Rosados. It did not have the creamy leather, wood and cinnamon notes I love about the 858, but it was still good – just in a different way. It was much spicier and had some clove and pepper notes that built throughout the smoke. There was some roughness around the edges with this cigar, but I really enjoyed it.
