Cigar Review: You can't go wrong with a Short Story, especially when you're in the mood for a super premium and don't feel you have the luxury of an hour or more to spend on a bigger stick. That happens to me fairly often, and that's why I like to always have some on hand.

Clifford Simmons on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 7:01:39 PM
Cigar Review: This is my favorite cigar for every occasion. I sometimes smoke one a day. Aside from the high quality tobacco, I appreciate the size. I rarely have the spare time to fully smoke and enjoy a full sized cigar.

MonkeyDan on Monday, November 19, 2007 8:38:36 PM
Cigar Review: I call this stick "old reliable" because I have been enjoying them for years. Each time they have never disappointed. I am surprised that I have not reviewed this cigar previously. The Short Story and myself go way back to my second job out of college. This was my first real job in which I was able to afford higher quality smokes that were over five bucks back in the early 1990's. My boss, Joe introduced me to the Hemingway series and have been addicted since. The Hemingway Short Story is a perf... More details

Cigar Review: i just started smoking cigars about 5 years ago and i have tasted alot of different cigar but the short story has alot of flavor and it was the best 45 min i know it was a 30 min but took it to 45
Tom Vidamour on Thursday, March 01, 2007 6:13:47 AM
Cigar Review: A great way to spend 30 minutes. I am a fan of all Hemingways. If you are looking for a tasty medium bodied quick smoke this little gem is the answer.
Matt Teagarden on Monday, February 26, 2007 2:50:06 PM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story makes for a great smoke when time is short. Has a fairly cool burn, especially for a shortie. Well constructed - a great choice for a quick smoke.
"A Nice Little Quickie"
Scott Lurker on Friday, February 23, 2007 2:29:59 PM
Cigar Review: If you are limited on time, then the hemingway short story is a good way to go. It usually burns for 25 to 30 minutes, but seems to get better as it burns. With a good overall flavor and aroma, the short story is a nice little cigar.
Lance Howard on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 9:24:09 PM

"Short Story"
CigarSmokerAnonymous on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 6:19:33 PM
Cigar Review: The AF Short Story is a treat for the eyes and the palate. Wrapped in a beautiful oily tan wrapper it had a light pleasent aroma pre-light. The tip lit easily and transferred an even burn to the main barrel of the cigar and burned consistantly throughout. The ash formed a beautiful cone and remained a consistant un-mottled grey. Smoke volume was average. The cigar started out medium and became more robust as it burned. An earthy flavor with some peppery bite made the cigar quite enjoyable. Pleas... More details

Bradley Russell on Monday, January 29, 2007 8:29:45 PM
Cigar Review: This is one of my least favorite Arturo Fuente cigars. I'm not partial to the short smokes so i might have been a little bit biased coming into it. It burned well, and the draw was great.
mdellaperuta on Monday, January 29, 2007 6:41:25 PM
Cigar Review: A perfect short smoke smooth to the nub I enjoyed mine with a few cubes of guyere and a hardy port

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente - Hemingway Short Story A Beautiful Tan-Brown wrapper with excellent tooth and a nice oily sheen caress's this cigar. A well constructed stogie that is easy on the eyes. Sweet Wood, earth and some spice round up most of the flavor profile of this medium bodied smoke. The cigar also develops some additional flavors as you smoke it such as mellow cream and some occasional graham cracker notes on the medium finish. The short story always needs a little toughing up right at the beginni... More details
"A Classic"
Juziel Picado on Friday, January 26, 2007 6:17:15 PM
Cigar Review: What a fine smoke! Outstanding Arturo Fuente construction and a perfect burn and nice white ash ash. Great flavors of creamy rich vanilla, spice, hints of nutmeg and cinnamon and even some cocoa in there, Very comlex smoke and very satifying as well. This is a classic smoke.
John Neave on Friday, January 26, 2007 10:01:46 AM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story further proves the saying,"Good things come in small packages". Expertly constructed (as all Fuentes are)with an even burn throughout. Starts smooth and mild,as the ash begins to form the flavor comes through. Hints of cedar, nuts, and spices. A great 35+ minute smoke.
"The Hemingway Short Story"
Eli Halabu on Thursday, January 25, 2007 2:56:25 PM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story is a one of a kind cigar. It has all the makings of a great smoke! Mild to medium with full flavor, extremely well made, and great balance throughout the 30 mins of the smoke. Fuente is one of the best companies around, and cigars like this prove why!
"sometime there just isn't enough time"
f brickner on Thursday, January 25, 2007 1:39:27 PM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story is great when you're in a hurry. As always the quality is there and taste is rich. I'm glad there is a choice available.
"Short but sweet!"
Mark Klein on Thursday, January 25, 2007 10:00:51 AM
Cigar Review: Fuente gets right to the point on this flavorful figurado. The cedar hits immediately with a nice spicy accompaniment. There is no time to build up flavor with different fillers along the way so once the tip starts burning what you taste is what you get throughout the short smoke which, by the way, is appreciated by anyone who has young kids. Despite its finger-length stature, it delivers a spicy, medium-bodied smoke. The next step up: The Hemmingway Work of Art, only because the larger size all... More details

Cigar Review: The little engine that could...Great winter smoke, when I am smoking inside and just want a quick smoke this was perfect. Nice flavor, not too harsh. I don't typically like this size but I will be buying more of these for the winter.
"Short smoke"
Walter Dunton on Monday, January 22, 2007 6:12:15 AM
Cigar Review: It's a great smoke 30 minute smoke, My favorite brand/fuente, the Hemingways deliver greats flavors and mildness all in one smoke. My sugesttions with this one is buy a box and stick em' in away, let em' age and they become really great !!!!!
Anthony Gutierrez on Sunday, January 21, 2007 6:42:06 PM
Cigar Review: It's been years since I've smoked a short story. Still the best small smoke on the market. Typical Fuente-great flavor, flawless construction. Too small for my liking, but a few great puffs if you're in a hurry.
"The Little Hemmingway"
Jeff Mira on Sunday, January 21, 2007 12:27:20 PM
Cigar Review: This little cigar has great flavor and burns well. Its the perfect size for these cold Michigan winters (its a little cold smoking out in the garage). A good medium body with a nice spicy flavor. And as an added bonus the size allows for more to fit in the humi.
"A Short Story"
Billy Haboush on Saturday, January 20, 2007 12:02:50 PM
Cigar Review: I've always liked Fuente cigars. They are great cigars with great flavors. The Short Story is no exception. Prelit bouquet was nutty, much like walnuts or almonds. Once lit, you could tell this cigar was aged well. The nutty flavors increased with some ‘burnt wood’ flavors mixed in as well. The draw was wonderful, the construction was well done. All in all, a great smoke for the drive into work, OR the drive back home from work.
Carl Schluter on Saturday, January 20, 2007 9:10:13 AM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story is a Perfecto shape that measures 4 X 48. The cigar lasted 50 minutes,. This is a lot longer than I expected for a cigar of it size. It had hints spice including black pepper and anis. Halfway through this cigar I could start to also taste some roasted nuts. I smoked this cigar all the way down to a nub, which I usually do not do with cigars. You should buy a box today!
"Hemingway Short Story (4.00 x 48)"
Kevin Ede on Saturday, January 20, 2007 7:22:56 AM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story is an excellent half hour indulgence. It is smooth, creamy, and rich but not overbearing. Easily lit, it maintains a nice long ash. It is simply one of the finest “dog walkers” I’ve ever had. This cigar has body, loaded with flavor and is consistent to the end. There was a hint of walnut almost throughout the smoke and it finished so well I had to smoke this stick right down to a nub! I’ve heard it said that these are a little pricey, but I think they are well worth it!

"Nothing Short in flavor here!"
Ben Wong on Thursday, January 18, 2007 8:03:27 PM
Cigar Review: This is my 2nd experience with the SS and in each case, flawless quality comes along with this Fuente product. The Colorado wrapper boasted a cocoa-tinged walnut colour embellished with burnt umber streaks, as well as dark coffee markings. Burn was absolutely perfect from tip to nub requiring no relights. Ash was very firm, grey at the perimeter to charcoal at the center. Aroma was :Hemmingway", a bouquet of medium tobacco and coffee with an ancilliary scent of musty cedar. Flavor, while not str...

"Hemmingway Short Story"
Jermi Halabou on Thursday, January 18, 2007 4:01:40 PM
Cigar Review: Where to start....I am a huge fan of Fuente cigars and the Short Story doesn't dissapoint. A medium bodied cigar with a touch of sweetness thanks to the Cameroon wrapper. The thing I noticed most was the incredibly white ash of the cigar. This denotes that Fuente took much care and time to age this cigar befor releasing it. My only complaint was it was too short. A truly enjoyable smoke.
"The little guy"
Mike West on Thursday, January 18, 2007 2:47:58 PM
Cigar Review: Being the shortest I'd smoked I was a little skeptical. But this little bad boy fulfilled my needs with a great flavor and smooth maintenance free burn. One of the few cigars that I smoked all the way down to my finger tips.
"Big smoke in small package"
Dan Talley on Thursday, January 18, 2007 5:58:20 AM
Cigar Review: The Hemmingway Short Strory is a full flavored smoke with a great draw. The shape makes the beginnign draws a little tight but it looses up nicely allowing all the flavor to come through nicely.

"Short in size, big in flavor"
David Schwartz on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 9:11:18 AM
Cigar Review: The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story is the perfect short smoke. The cameroon wrapper has a nice chocolate colored hue to it. Draws nice and easy and the ash held on to the band. The Short Story has a nutty flavor that lingers on the palate nicely. This cigar is perfect for those times when you can't linger over a cigar. On the other hand it is perfect for any time of the day.
Jeff Michaels on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 9:05:25 PM
Cigar Review: I received the Short Story with much anticipation. I let it sit in the humidor for a week and pulled it out looking forward to a delightful smoke, I was not disappointed. - It was perfectly rolled - had a nice medium brown wrapper - with a light oily sheen - It lit easily - and burned even better - I smoked it down to my finger tips. Worth every penny and the wait.
"Awesome little cigar"
Austin Keay on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 1:44:14 PM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story is a little cigar that packs mouthfuls of flavour. You can smoke this down in 30 minutes easily or let the peppery, woodsy, and somewhat nutty flavour captivate you for close to an hour. Not a great morning smoke by any means and I like a little more body and spice for the end of the day, so this little beauty fits well almost any other time of day with out requiring an hour to finish. Smokes well with a good draw, but the shape really steals some of the show. I would h... More details
"Hemingway short story"
Ron Ciricillo on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 12:18:15 PM
Cigar Review: Short story has lots of smoke and rich flavor. Unfortunately, because of small size it burns too hot.
Trey Harris on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 10:03:14 AM
Cigar Review: This Cameroon wrapped perfecto had a nice oily sheen on a flawless wrapper. Prelight draw as a tad bit tight but upon lighting, it loosened up nicely. Flavor packed creamy little smoke with that unforgetable camaroon spice. The burn was perfect. A complex gem that lasted 35 minutes.
"Arturo Fuente Short Story"
rkamrath on Monday, January 15, 2007 7:04:12 PM
Cigar Review: I've wanted to sample one of these since I read its accolades last year. It is a friendly cigar with a subtle sweetness, medium in strength. While I have yet to become bored with standard cigar construction, I enjoyed the exotic design of the Short Story. At only 5" in length, I would have expected a shorter smoke than the 45 minutes I enjoyed. But I really didn't want to put it down.
"Hemingway Short"
Shawn Varner on Monday, January 15, 2007 3:03:25 PM
Cigar Review: Little Powerhouse thats what I would call this. Great shape, I love it, the wrapper is beautiful. Starts off mild building in intensity. A little peppery but not to spicy, builds nicely though to a thorough woodsy taste; cedar taste. Takes a little longer than you would think, but burns consistently, no boating, and the ash has these great rings that show the depth of this shorty. I would have rated it higher but the flavor was not completely to my liking. But thats the great thing about cigars ... More details

Michael Kreutler on Monday, January 15, 2007 6:19:32 AM
Cigar Review: This little cigar is everything you want in a short period of time. Nice spice tones, great burn and draw. Smokes like a champion. I consider this a go to cigar and is perfect for short time smoke opportunities. With this in your humidor there is no more "I don't have time for a smoke" excuses.
Greg Berry on Sunday, January 14, 2007 9:04:45 PM
Cigar Review: This is labeled on the site as a Perfecto shape, similar to other makers who describe the shape as a Figurado. The 48 ring size only applies to the largest bulge of the cigar, and it tapers down to not a lot bigger than cigarette size at the cap. It’s a full-bodied smoke, would be great with a nice full-bodied glass of wine after dinner. I’m a punch user unless the cigar’s a Torpedo, but I needed to pull a bit too hard. It gets better after the first half-inch, and it really stepped up in draw a... More details
Steve Taylor on Sunday, January 14, 2007 5:59:50 PM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story is a great read. Starts with a mild sweetness and builds to a medium bodied smoke that is deceptively long for the size of the cigar. Beautiful ash, and a true finger burner with its tapered shape. A delightful cigar!
"Beautifully made cigar."
Robert Mckiewicz on Sunday, January 14, 2007 3:12:20 PM
Cigar Review: I received the Short Story with much anticipation. It was perfectly rolled, had a nice medium brown wrapper, with a light oily sheen. It lit easily, and burned even better. I smoked it for 43 minutes, down to the last inch. I think more humi time would have helped tone down the overpowering black pepper that masked the other more subdued flavors. The smoke produced was copious, and the ash, an even light grey. A snifter of brandy, or cognac would have made my experience more enjoyable,
G. C. Stevens on Sunday, January 14, 2007 6:27:33 AM
Cigar Review: The Short Story appears to be a perfectly rolled cigar. This little cigar had a high volume of tasty smoke, woody, spicy medium-bodied and even burning. Great little cigar when time is short.

Gaylon Poston on Saturday, January 13, 2007 9:52:15 PM

"Little Cigar but Big Smoke"
John Such on Friday, January 12, 2007 6:02:52 PM
Cigar Review: The Hemingway Short Story has a light brown wrapper with small veins.Easy light and smooth draw all the way down to the nub,a real fingerburner! A medium-bodied smoke yet sweet and spicey. This wasn't a strong smoke but very rich in taste. Probably about the finest short smoke out there and a Fuente to boot,can't beat that.

Robert Hayes on Thursday, January 11, 2007 4:10:41 PM
Cigar Review: This an exquisitely rolled mild bodied cigar, with a peppery taste given to it by the Cameroon wrapper. It's just the right size for those times when you can't smoke a full sized Hemingway.
"Packed with power in a sort smoke"
Erik Lee on Thursday, January 11, 2007 3:19:04 PM
Cigar Review: If you like that classic fuente taste then you'll love the Hemingway Short Story. It's pointed tip makes it a cinch to light up and burns ohh so smooth and even. I found it only gave about 25 minutes of pleasure, but ohh so pleasureable it was.
"Fuente's short one!"
Jeff Thompson on Wednesday, January 10, 2007 7:10:15 PM
