Description

Short Story condenses the Hemingway format into one of the line’s quickest and most recognizable sizes. Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Natural is a Dominican mini perfecto with a Cameroon wrapper over Dominican binder and filler, built in the same shaped format that made the Hemingway line stand out. 

At 4 x 49, it is one of the smaller Hemingway vitolas, but the tapered construction still gives it the line’s distinct look and pace. Rated 93 by Cigar Aficionado in 2013. 

The flavor usually starts with sweet spice, cedar, and cocoa, then moves toward nuts, earth, and a little more toast as the cigar opens up. The shorter length makes it more compact and direct than the larger Hemingways, while the shape still gives it a clear beginning, middle, and finish. 

Pairs well with coffee, bourbon, or amber ale.

My first cigar and the one that started it all. A nice short and sweet smoke, loads of coffee notes in that Cameroon cigar. Nutty profile in the smoke that lingers long after you finish the cigar. I could smoke these everyday and be satisfied! Recommend this to everybody to try at least once and know that you’ll be hooked!
