Every Hemingway is a perfecto — tapered at both ends, closed foot, no exceptions — and they are among the hardest cigars in the world to roll consistently. Fuente has been doing it since 1983.
A Cameroon wrapper over aged Dominican filler gives sweet cedar, nuts and a light spice, and the perfecto shape concentrates all of it through the middle. The Short Story at 4 x 49 is the most famous small cigar there is.
