A rare holiday cigar put out by the Fuentes sure is a great treat. This is the WOAM as most people call it and is a Work of Art as it is called. A very toothy dark and sweet maduro wrapper give this cigar a wonderful appearence. It is nice and firm in the hand with superb construction.
The flavors are of sweetness and pepper. The draw is flawless with ample amounts of smoke. As I got to the 2nd third I noticed quite a bit of pepper and some chocolate flavors… mmm, this was getting good. The last third was smooth with some creaminess and mellowed out for me. These sticks are good but I would prefer the Anejo shark #77 or a hemingway signature maduro.
As I sat and relaxed with this great stick I thought about the wonderful Thanksgiving I had and the many things that I am grateful for. My health and my family… as I heard today on Cigar Pass that one of the great one’s passed away. Infinity as he was known on CP, Brian to the rest of the world was a great BOTL and a great guy who will be missed. I will light up a cigar in his honor this evening and wish everyone out there to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

You said “[t]hese sticks are good but I would prefer the Anejo shark #77 or a hemingway maduro.” I always thought the Work of Art WAS Hemingway.
Nice review, otherwise!
You are right, I meant a Hemingway Signature. I like the larger vitolas.
I haven’t had the WOAM but I have had the Short Story and that is an awesome cigar. Anything the Fuentes make is good… usually.
