Take decades of cigar making history and roll a flavor filled Cameroon around rich Dominican filler and binder and you may be holding one of the world’s most popular Hemingway Cigars, custom made by experts at the Dominican plantation of cigar legend Arturo Fuente. Every Hemingway has a difficult to accomplish hand rolled perfecto shape, rich and complex flavor blends, and is one of the most rare and popular cigars, although hard to find. The Fuente family only produces a few Hemingway Cigars yearly, saving out a few extra special releases for Christmas and Father’s Day holiday treats to cigar lovers.
Named for famous novelist Ernest Hemingway, these Fuente cigars are legends in their own right. Production is restricted, and some shapes are reserved in cedar lined aging rooms for timed releases near the holidays. Some special releases feature the Maduro wrapper, a sweeter version of the Cameroon wrapper found on most Hemingway Cigars. Each cigar is hand rolled by only the most experienced cigar makers, who create just 75 cigars a day. They are a perfecto cigar, tapered at both ends, very difficult to make.
The influence of the namesake novelist is evident in the cigar titles, such as Untold Story, Between the Lines, Best Seller, and Work of Art. These join Classic, Signature, and Short Story cigars in the perfectly made Hemingway line. Hemingway Cigars are medium to full-bodied, with rich complex flavors of wood, nutmeg, cinnamon, caramel, and coffee, among others to discern, with a spicy finish. They have a smooth draw, easy burn and are highly sought after for the complete smoking experience. Rare, and difficult to find, when you do come across any of the Hemingway Cigars, quantities are usually limited, so buy them as you do find them.
When you pick up Hemingway Cigars, you are holding a history of fine cigar making in your hand, with a classic style that dates back to the Arturo Fuente from the 1920 era, hand rolled perfecto cigars that say it all with shape and flavor. Only a cigar lover would understand that the best part of owning a rare Hemingway is the chance to enjoy smoking it, almost like drinking a rare and exotic wine.
