The Hemingway Classic was my first favorite cigar.  Had one last night for the first time in many, many years.  It was not good

Have you tried the untold story in this line - pretty good. Also one of my fav AF was the eye of the shark. Hated that it was ranked so high they became impossible to get but come across a few here and there.

Work of Art is my favorite of the Hemingway line. It's been a humidor mainstay for years now.

I liked the last short storys I had flavor wise  but they were plagued with construction issues.

I very much like the Classic I had a few weeks ago. I'm sorry to hear that!

Not yet. Thank you for the recommendation. I will look to try both in the future.

Interesting. Thank you for the feedback.

Again, I'm sorry to hear. There's nothing worse (okay, perhaps an underfilled cigar!)

Hi John, 

A couple of other "regular" AFs you may enjoy trying are the Casa Cuba Divine Inspiration and the 8-9-8 Flor Fina Sungrown Rosados.  While neither will "knock your socks off" (like a shark or Opus or even a Don Carlos Reserva), I find those two cigar lines to be reliably tasty and pleasant with much more complexity than most NC's in their price range.  The former are delicious right away IMO; however, the 8-9-8's only truly shine after a year or much more (like many of the better AFs).  (All subjective opinions of course

BTW - I have to say again how much I always appreciate your thoughtful, insightful and entertaining reviews.

All the best, 

[Ford2112]

@JohnS to be fair about the Hemingway Short Story,the humidity has been on the high side here this year so I attributed that as part of it,but my cuaba divinos smoked just fine,they are like little twins. I would buy more of these in a heartbeat. They are a great morning smoke,.

[Lamboinee]

I recently picked up a box of Goldie Laguito's and La Colmena along with my visit to El Titan de Bronze where they were rolled. Awesome place to visit and I look forward to smoking these in a few months.

Picked up a box of the La Colmena's solely based on this thread. Also excited to try the Le Careme.

Nudies.  Just got 100 N1s delivered, and just ordered 25 more and 50 N3s.  Tough to resist, so I gave up resisting.  Only NCs I’ll buy.

[asudevil08]

These guys have been knocking my socks off with flavor recently.
