Detailed Description
The Hemingway Signature Natural stands as testament to Arturo Fuente’s unwavering commitment to perfection, featuring the challenging perfecto shape that only their most skilled artisans can master. Each cigar begins its journey with carefully selected African Cameroon wrapper leaf, prized for its delicate sweetness and toothy texture that perfectly complements the rich Dominican core. The distinctive tapered foot and gently narrowed head create a dynamic smoking experience where flavors intensify and evolve as the ring gauge expands.
Upon lighting, waves of creamy cedar and toasted cashews greet the palate, accompanied by subtle hints of graham cracker sweetness that define the Hemingway’s signature profile. The medium-bodied strength provides accessibility without sacrificing complexity, as notes of caramel, mild cocoa, and aromatic cinnamon emerge through the progression. The Cameroon wrapper contributes a distinctive spicy-sweet character that harmonizes beautifully with the underlying Dominican tobaccos, creating layers of flavor that unfold with each draw.
Construction quality remains impeccable throughout, with the perfecto shape burning evenly despite its varying dimensions. The draw resistance strikes an ideal balance—never too loose or tight—while producing clouds of aromatic smoke that fill the room with inviting notes of sweet wood and roasted nuts. As you approach the final third, darker notes of espresso and oak emerge while maintaining the cigar’s inherent smoothness, culminating in a satisfying finish that invites immediate contemplation of lighting another.

Love the perfecto shape. Makes it easy to light up the cigar. On the flavor notes, I was getting notes of earth and bit of a peaty spice to it. 7 mins into I got hit with a bitter note of rhubarb then 3 mins later it past. Maybe there was section of the tobacco that was not aged well.

Very smooth, and very flavorful due to the Cameroon wrapper. A great cigar for anytime, and perhaps the most interesting cigar in the entire Fuente lineup.

Excellent price vs quality ratio! Good construction, burn not as even as hoped, but packed lots of flavor, with notes of vanilla bean, baking spice, leather and earth.
