Luva Sweet Easy Retrohale
blend: Arturo Fuente Hemingway ROSADO
vitola: "Signature" (6x47 perfecto)
wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun-Grown Rosado
binder/filler: Dominican
humidor time: 9 mos @ 65%RH
drink: water
ambient conditions: 70F, 98% humidity
The Hemingway Rosado is fairly mild in flavor and nicotine strength. The dominant flavor is something like raisins: dried fruit, slightly sweet, slightly tart. I get this from many Fuente rosados, but it's toned down, compared to a Magnum R or Opus X. It has a little bit of the caramelly richness typical of Hemingways and is nicely balanced. It has very little pepper or grassy/ashy harshness. It burned perfectly, until the final third, when the very high ambient humidity caught up with it.
I give this stick 3 stars on my 5-star scale. It's easily good enough for me to maintain a modest supply in the humidor, but it doesn't have quite enough flavor intensity to become a favorite.
