Toward the end of the Spruce days, I started buying Arturo Fuente Hemmingways for our Friday night after-work bashes in the garage. I’d usually pick up a bottle of Duvel or two as well, then just sit back, drink and smoke. Add to that a little punk music or some trance songs, and you’ve got a recipie for good times. A perfect end to a typically awful week at work. Truly great moments in gars.

There is something magical about the Hemmingway wrapper. It’s a little darker than the average cammie. I think it makes the gar more flavorful. Veiny but smooth, these gars go well with a super-light (but strong) beer like Duvel–which I find especially surprising, given that gars and beer rarely go well together. Of course, paying $12 for a single gar will qualify it as special almost by default, but once in a while, a gar is really worth that kind of money. Is the Hemmingway such a gar? Not quite. But it comes close enough to justify getting screwed a little.
