What is Your Opinion of Arturo Fuente Cigars
 
I'm curious as to what you all think of Arturo Fuente cigars. It seems few of us smoke them, aside perhaps from Anejo and Opus. Personally I love them, aside perhaps from the mildest of their line. If I could I'd smoke King B's and Hemingways all the time. Due to my budget, though, they are a special treat.

So what say you?
EDIT: I Must have messed up, there was supposed to be a poll too. :=:

One of the most solid available. Pretty much everything they make is good. Never hand an AF that I did not like. Short Storys are one of my favorites.

One of my favorites but my stock has been depleted due to my assimilation into the dark side.

Ditto on the Hemmingways :dr. Double Chateau's are a fine stick too. :tu

Just consistent sticks.

I don't reach for them regularly, but they're always a solid smoke, regardless of the line. Though if you count Ashton products in, since they're produced by the Fuentes, I reach for them a good bit.

My favorite Arturo Fuentes have been:

Anejo #55s
Work of Art Maduros
Cuban Corona Maduros

Almost always perfect construction, and some fine cigars, definitely one of the first NC makers I will look to when seeking a change of pace. Besides the Anejo, I'm a fan of the Hemingway line, the Don Carlos line, and have enjoyed many of the premiums I have smoked, like Opus, Casa Fuente, God of Fire and King Bs.

This. Especially the maduros, and the rare rosado sungrowns. But my favorite from their line is the 858 Maddie. Solid, consistent, pretty cheap.

Also Brickhouse, Cuesta Rey, Montesino, Bauza, probably a few others in partnership with JC Newman

Used to love them when I first started because of the name. Still love a few of the lines, Chateau Fuente Maduros, Anejos, Opus, Hemmingway Maduros. As others have said, the construction is almost always perfect. Another one of those brands that have a gazillion lines and sometimes wish they'd stay with a few and perfect a few lines other than the top tier cigars they produce.

Great and consistent cigars. Can't go wrong. Anejo being my favorite by far

I am a fan of just about everything they do, especially the Hemingway line.

I really enjoy opus, anejo, and woams. I wish I had more and I'd happily smoke them regularly.

I absolutely love their Exqusito Maduros.

Opus X, Anejo, Casa Fuente, & Don Carlos, In That Order, Are My Favorites.

Re: What is Your Opinion of Arturo Fuente Cigars
 
Don Carlos is their best "traditional" AR cigar; pre Opus model. Hemingway series are fun, but I don't think they are cigars that fare well with a lot of aging. I can't comment how Opus age or don't, but the Cameroon wrapper cigars can enjoyed right away.
