They offer many pre-designed templates but also give the option to turn your personal vision into reality through custom artwork.

Wedding season is in full bloom. And though cigars during the reception have always been a tradition, in recent years “Cigar with the Bride and Groom” has become extremely popular.

Emerson’s Cigars introduces Fuente Hemingway

Emerson’s Cigars has introduced Fuente Hemingway - one of the finest brands of cigars over the years. Famous for its mesmerizing taste, Fuente Hemingway is usually released around the holidays and will now be readily available through Emerson’s Cigars.


According to the spokesperson of Emerson’s Cigars, “Fuente Hemingway is the right kind of smoking gesticulation that stands a class apart amongst the true cigar lovers." In between 1920s and 40s, the cigar brand Fuente Hemingway was highly popular. As the time went on, the natural life cycle took its course, the pool of cigar rollers capable of making such a cigar dwindled. However, with Emerson’s Cigar latest venture, cigar enthusiasts will now surely be able to enjoy this ageless product.


The spokesperson said, “Only the most delicately fermented and aged tobaccos, specially selected from only the best crop time, make up the blend for this cigar”. Smoking this cigar creates a long solid ash that the cigar-lover will be bigheaded to show off. It is a straightforward cigar bringing enjoyment from the beginning. “As your ash begins to form, you will discover notes of coffee and cedar and it will turn out a massive amount of creamy smoke for your pallet”, added the spokesperson.


The highly sought after Fuente Hemingway cigars are handmade by the most experienced cigar makers, each of whom are limited to produce 75 cigars per day. The cigar is aged an additional six months after being rolled and is most impressive directly from the box. Emerson’s Cigars believes that the cigar will smolder the smoker’s fingers as one enters the final segments, but he will not be disappointed because a well-built leather flavor is how the Fuente Hemingway will finish.


By bringing Fuente Hemingway to true cigar lovers, Emerson’s Cigars will surely move ahead with a promise to offer finest tobacco products and a great shopping experience.
