Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art Maduro

The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art Maduro is a premium handmade cigar created for adult cigar smokers who appreciate distinctive shapes, rich Maduro character, and classic Fuente craftsmanship.

The Hemingway collection is famous for its traditional Perfecto shape, with both the head and foot tapered rather than straight-sided. Arturo Fuente lists the Work of Art at 4⅞ inches long, reaching a maximum 60 ring gauge, making it compact in length but substantial through the centre of the cigar.

The Maduro version features a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. Cigar Aficionado confirms the Dominican construction and Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, while specialist listings likewise identify the blend as Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro over aged Dominican tobacco.

Its Perfecto construction creates a distinctive smoking progression. The narrow foot begins with a more concentrated opening before the burn reaches the wider body, where smoke production and flavour gradually expand.

The cigar offers a medium to medium-full profile, with tasting notes that may include espresso, dark chocolate, leather, licorice, earth, sweet wood, nuts, spice, and Maduro sweetness. Cigar Aficionado has described reviewed examples with combinations of espresso, gingerbread, licorice, wood, leather, chocolate and nuts.

Why Choose This Cigar?

The Hemingway Work of Art Maduro stands out because of both its shape and its blend.

Its dramatically curved Perfecto format is much more distinctive than a standard Robusto or Toro. The cigar starts narrow, expands to a broad 60-ring-gauge centre and then tapers toward the head, producing a changing smoking experience as the burn progresses. Arturo Fuente officially identifies the Hemingway range as a collection of Perfecto cigars and lists the Work of Art with a 46/60 ring-gauge profile.

The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper adds a darker, sweeter dimension to the Dominican tobacco core. Reviewed examples have shown flavours ranging from wood, leather and chocolate to espresso, licorice, nuts and spice, giving the cigar greater depth than a lighter Hemingway Natural.

Storage Guidance

Store the cigar in a properly maintained humidor to help preserve its wrapper, construction, aroma and flavour.

Keep it away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, dry air and strong surrounding odours. Because the Perfecto shape has a delicate tapered foot, handle it carefully when moving or arranging cigars inside the humidor.
