I smoked a Hemingway Classic Maduro today and felt moderately pleased with the cigar. The beginning of the cigar felt very constricted and the pull was extremely tight. The remainder of the cigar had a decent pull. My friend's cigar, however, burnt much faster and eventually ruined the cigar for him. This, along with other experiences with this smoke has led me to believe that this should be considered a medium rated cigar. I'd love to hear what experiences the rest of you have had with this cigar.
