My wife who never smoked, smoked it for a little bit. She swore it tasted like chocolate and caramel and loved it. This one I had was totally different.


Definitely describing the Hemi SSM

Good luck finding more as they are VHTF.

Well if it is the SSM. GREAT!!


I'll be able to find out though for sure as I got 10 Short Story & 5 WOAM on the way. Palama offered to send me a couple best sellers as well.


Greatly appreciate the hell y'all.

Applause

Good deal. It seems both the WOAM and SSM only get better with age. I have five WOAM left from a box I got three years ago. From what the Tampa sweetheart folks tell me at the store in Tampa, Fuente ages them for three years and three more just makes them better.

I've looked at a lot of places for the SSMs but they were all out of the 2012 Holiday release. Although, *maybe* Tobacco Locker might still have some. However, they want an arm and a leg for them.... I'm willing to pay an arm but wanna keep the leg.

I'm waiting for the 2013 Father's Day release so just patiently sitting back (...but ready to pounce once I see them...).

I didn't buy any but I pm'd two guys that were looking for them before I posted it.

I checked back 10 minutes later and they were out. I hope the guys got them!

I love Hemis - Never found or tried a WOAM - found one in a B&M while on vaca in FL yesterday, picked up a natural & a maddie. Couldn't stand it, so I lit the maddie in the shop...Shoulda let it rest - sometimes I have no patience. Almost passed out hyperventilating from re-lighting it 37 times, finally dropped it in the tray at 1/2 way. I think I liked it, not sure. I'm getting another to replace it before we leave and its going in the coolerdor for a while.

I am NEVER lighting another cigar off the shelf...

Typical over humidification
B&M tend to hose everything down
I think they do it out of fear that all the walk in traffic will dry their smoks out.

Yep I've never had to relight a WOAM. Because of the shape, I've had to touch them up a lot in the beginning because they are hard to get started just right but they usually burn perfectly after the one touchup.

Doubt I have any trade value you'd want but I like the ss maddies. PM me and we'll figure out how to get rid of some of them if you still need to.
