Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story

93-Rated

Description

It takes a real master to make a perfecto… 

The Hemingway Short Story, a cigar that pays homage to one of Cuba's most celebrated authors, whose works inspired the Fuente family to change the cigar world forever.

In 1998, Carlos Fuente Sr. discovered a collection of old Perfecto molds in a warehouse in Florida. With the vitola having largely fallen out of favor since the 1920s and 30s, he returned it back to his Dominican factory and taught his master rollers the complex technique. That discovery led to Hemingway Short Story Cigars that are still produced the Arturo Fuente Cigar Factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

The Short Story size, like the rest of the Hemingway line, is made with a tapered foot. It sets the standard for medium-bodied cigars and perfecto cigars alike. Wrapped in a toothy Cameroon leaf grown by the Meerapfel family in West Africa, you can expect creamy notes of vanilla, brown sugar, nuts and coffee. It has a lush draw and burns evenly, but don’t be fooled by the size, this tasty, 93-rated gem will burn for about 45 minutes. Get them while you can, these cigars are often hard to find.

Great News! Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story has received a well-deserved 93-point rating, noting: "A sweet and spicy little perfecto with a perfect draw and burn. Additional walnut notes and refined cocoa flavors make this medium- to full-bodied cigar balanced and complex."

My absolute go-to cigar. I smoke these pretty much anywhere I relax- walking the dog, watching my kid's baseball games/practice, grilling, you name it. It's the leisure cigar to love. It starts slow and can burn a little uneven but mostly it has an even burn and good flavor. The middle third is absolutely the best. You just have to try it. The last bit isn't bad either; i usually smoke it to the nub until I can't hold it anymore. Smoke takes me 30-40 min to get through - I'm estimating because I never actually timed it, but my dog walks are 45-50 min and i usually finish about 3/4 of the way of the walk. Great smoke imo.

The short story cigar is one of my favorites. Really, the Hemingway series in general. I love the construction and blend. But it's really the size of the sShort Story cigar that makes it one of my go-to's: facility reper ratio changes as I smoke, and it's just about the right size to be classified as a "quick smoke."

Not my typical size pick, however I was truly impressed with the smooth slow burn and flavors. For the price and being an AF, you can't go wrong.

What can you say about Arturo Fuente. All they make are great cigars. This "Short Story" is small, but it packs a punch! With a strong, Full flavor, this slow burning cigar is anything but short!

Arturo Fuente knows what they're doing - these Hemingway Short Story cigars are a delight. Each is perfect, consistent, and full flavored tobacco. Great when you only have about 30 minutes!

I've tried dozens of short 30 minute cigars and the Short story is by far the best. It packs plenty of smooth enjoyably flavor in a small stick.

The Short Story is my favorite smoke. I do let them sit for about a month in the humidor. For me, I'll have an occasional one on the back porch with a morning coffee. It does seem that the Short Story is better suited after a dinner, with some sipping whisky. Really, there is no bad time for these babies.

This is a classic smoke for the man who has it all. I especially like these in the winter months when all you might have is 25 minutes due to cold or kid shuffling activities. They have been backordered for a while so it was nice to finally get them into the humidor.

After smoking these for 5+ years these Hemingway shorts are always a pleasure. Great for a quick, flavorful, expensive tasting smoke, without the 2+ hours. Great burn, great draw, and most of all, FLAVOR. Highly recommend.

This is such a great little cigar! Burns clean and tastes the same on the last puff as the first. This is a great cigar to enjoy in the morning with a cup of coffee out on the patio.

Excellent construction and rich warm flavor. Absolutely love it. Big shout out to Janie (sp? I had some trouble hearing) in customer service. After my first shipment was somehow lost in the UPS to USPS hand off (not CIs fault) she got a new shipment out with no hassle to me at all. Great service!

Great small cigar. Consistent quality, the draw has always been easy and the burn is even. Nice white smoke cloud with great flavor and aroma. 1 thing. I use to order 5 at a time, but the availability is limited and often not available at all. This is a true limited production cigar. If you like them my advice is to get them when you can. I now order by the 25 count box

One of my all time favorites, no matter what size. Elegant and beautifully balanced it’s truly a work of art. A quick smoke when one doesn’t have a lot of time, it burns and draws perfectly. One I can smoke any time of the day.
