Arturo Fuente Hemingway Untold Story Maduro

Description

The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Untold Story Maduro is a big figurado dressed in dark Connecticut broadleaf around a Dominican binder and filler. Cigar Aficionado measures it 7 5/8 x 54; Fuente’s size chart says 7 1/2 inches, same ring. Only the 9-inch Masterpiece runs longer among Hemingways.

What It Tastes Like

In December 2023, Cigar Aficionado awarded the Untold Story 93 points at medium strength. The panel noted a generous draw and picked up toast, vanilla, oak, nutmeg and caramel, with earthiness arriving as the cigar gained power. Its October 2019 review (89, medium) leaned brighter, with vanilla, citrus and almond before a lemony finish. Cigar Insider (88, February 2018, medium-full) found dry wood, marshmallow, cocoa and minerals.

Who It’s For

• Classic Maduro smokers wanting a much thicker ring.
