Few cigars are easier to spot across a room. The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art (4 7/8 x 60) is a perfecto, tapered at both ends and fat in the middle, and it is the cigar Cigar Aficionado named its No. 6 Cigar of 2018, rated 94.
It wears an African Cameroon wrapper over Dominican binder and filler, rolled in the Dominican Republic. Give the narrow foot a few puffs to catch, then it fills out with nutty, toasty smoke, baking spice, a little citrus and the sweet spice Cameroon is known for. Medium-bodied from start to finish. At about 55 minutes, it is a Power Hour smoke on the Burn Clock.
Save it for a toast, a wedding or a quiet evening worth marking. Cognac or Champagne suits the occasion, and an espresso works just as well. Boxes of 25. Browse more perfecto cigars and Cameroon cigars.
