Aruro Fuente Hemingway Classic Natural Video

This 7×48 stick offered a small open foot, that I would suggest cutting off before lighting, having tried it closed. The first 3rd of this cigar was the most mild experience I have had of any cigar, hands down. Barely any smoke or body, and the flavors were just a touch of sweet wood and a short clean finish. Pretty much like sucking warm air. The half way point finally woke it up, producing a normal amount of smoke, bringing the body and strength up to a medium point, adding flavors of caramel, nuts, creamy wood and leather at points, with a small spice kick on the finish. The last third brought a longer finish and higher strength, actually giving me a little buzz, although the body did not follow. The flavors near the end went to just a smooth nut and toasty taste with a parched finish. http://cigarobsession.com/2009/09/08/arturo-fuente-hemingway-classic-natural/

Interesting. I had no trouble at all lighting the foot and thought that the first 1/3 was just as good as the last, making it a very consistent cigar. I think mine was aged a little more than yours perhaps, as I noticed the wrapper was a little crisp and took only 2 matches before she lit up like a christmas tree. I really enjoyed this one though as well and agree with all your flavor desciptions

I agree. With the right amount of age on 'em... these are one very tasty stick, as are all of the Hemingways Line IMO.
As for the foot, I have done it both ways to see any difference and I prefer to leave the foot and light it that way. I looked at it as the part I would otherwise cut off is the part that will take the abuse of lighting the stick. It also helps to get the stick lit up easier and with an even burn right from the get go.
