Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Maduro is a rich, medium-bodied 4 x 42/49 Perfecto handmade in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera A. Fuente. This compact Maduro version of the celebrated Hemingway Short Story is finished in a dark U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over aged Dominican binder and long fillers.
The Broadleaf Maduro wrapper gives this small figurado a deeper, naturally sweet profile than its Cameroon-wrapped counterpart. It introduces notes of cocoa, dark chocolate, espresso, earth, molasses, and warm baking spice, while the aged Dominican tobaccos preserve the smooth creaminess, cedar, leather, and sweet-tobacco character that defines the Hemingway line.
The Short Story Maduro begins at a slim 42-ring-gauge foot before opening into a 49-ring-gauge body and narrowing again at the head. This compact Perfecto construction creates a concentrated and aromatic opening, a rich, creamy middle, and a flavorful finish. Despite its short length, the cigar delivers an impressive level of complexity and a cool, deliberate smoking experience.
Expect notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, espresso, cedar, leather, toasted almonds, sweet tobacco, molasses, earth, cinnamon, vanilla, and restrained black pepper. Its medium body and compact format make it an excellent choice when time is limited but a full premium-cigar experience is still desired.
Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Maduro is ideal for Maduro enthusiasts, Fuente collectors, and smokers looking for a rich Dominican Perfecto in a convenient short-smoke size. The cigar’s balance of Broadleaf sweetness and aged Dominican refinement makes it equally appropriate as an after-dinner selection or a satisfying accompaniment to coffee.
Pair it with espresso, dark-roast coffee, aged rum, bourbon, cognac, tawny port, a brown ale, porter, or chocolate-forward stout.

My new favorite 20 minute smoke. Beautiful draw , nice density.
Creamy and spicy but not overpowering.
Perfect for short smokes on cold nights.
