    Default Hemmingway fans, advice please.

    I had my first Short Story today. As I've read so many times before, it was an awesome smoke, but doesn't last long enough (kinda like me according to The Bride ).

    Anyway, I know the same tobacco in different sizes is gonna be a bit different, but here's what I'm looking for suggestions on:

    What other Hemmingway has similar characteristics (draw, strength, flavours, etc) to the SS but lasts about an hour?

    The only other Hemmingway I've smoked is the Classic. They last wayyyyy longer, but the strength and flavours I find milder. (Yeah, I COULD go buy a couple of everything and sample 'em, but they're friggin hard to get here in Canada.)

    Can you help a Noob??

    Best Seller - 5" versus the SS - 4" ... or 2.54 cm longer for you BOTLs up north.
    Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

    when you feel like you're getting close, think about cigars.

    IMHO all of the hemis taste about the same. Signature is my favorite and the maduro version rocks

    Give that signature a try. It's my favorite hemmingway so far. It's the ideal size IMHO. I still haven't been able to get my hands on a maduro, but I have a feeling that would be my new favorite.

    Thanks for your posts and advice guys. Looks like the WOAs, Best Sellers and Signatures are the ones to get. I just happen to have a Signature in the Humi right now from the 1/4 Chance game, and there's several Hemi's in the Draft III, so hopefully I'll get my paws on a couple of those.

    I like the work of art when I have more time to enjoy it
    Family, Friends and a good cigar. Oh and some fishing too!
