Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story: the most hunted short story

Why such a small cigar costs so much

The Short Story is expensive not because it is big or strong, but because it is hard. The double-tapered perfecto shape demands top-tier rolling skill, and Fuente's Hemingway output is always scarce against demand.

The name nods to Ernest Hemingway, and this cigar truly is a short story: compact, concentrated, not a wasted word.

Perfecto, a proud shape

Four inches long, the ring bulging to between 42 and 49 before tapering at both ends. It is a figurado shape that is hard to roll and hard to burn evenly, which is exactly why it tests a roller.

The Cameroon wrapper gives the body a warm golden brown. The binder and filler are pure Dominican, building a light-to-medium cigar that goes down easy.

Flavor across a short story

Because of the tapered shape, it opens slowly then swells in the middle, shifting the smoke's intensity section by section. You catch wood and coffee first, then a touch of pepper.

Midway, a hint of fruit and floral sweetness slips in, giving this small stick a surprising depth. All of it wrapped up in twenty to thirty minutes.

A connoisseur's cigar

The Short Story is not for beginners. It is for the smoker who understands why a finely rolled perfecto deserves such respect.

It suits a short but complete pause, an espresso or a whisky. This is a cigar to savor, a short story you will remember for a long time.
