Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art

The Hemingway Work of Art lives up to its name as a piece of rolling craftsmanship: a short five-inch perfecto that bulges to a massive 60 ring gauge at its widest, then tapers sharply at both ends. Fuente notes that only its most skilled torcedores make this shape.

What it tastes like

That huge belly means a cool, voluminous draw packed with the classic Hemingway flavors — cedar, roasted nuts, cream, and coffee, with sweet spice from the Cameroon wrapper. It's medium-bodied and smooth, and the dramatic taper concentrates the smoke as you work toward the foot.

Who it's for

A fun everyday cigar for anyone who enjoys big-ring smokes and the Hemingway profile. The flavor is approachable enough for less experienced smokers, while the shape itself is a conversation piece for veterans. There's also a Maduro version with a darker Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper for a richer, sweeter take.

Curious how the Work of Art Maduro compares? It's the same shape with a very different wrapper — see Maduro vs Connecticut for the contrast. Cutting that pointed head cleanly matters, so check how to cut a cigar. Log and rate it in the Casa DNC app.
