Casa Fuente are by far the most overpriced. Opus-X can routinely be had for ~MSRP and at that price as pretty hard to beat for NC, complex leather and wood tastes. The Anejo are equaly as good and bring a good amount of cocao to the party, same filler binder as the Opus with a aged connie wrapper. The Don Carlos is a cammie wrapper, but like the Hemingway line. I love the Don Carlos, much more subtle spiciness (sweet spice, not pepper) then the Hemingway line but if you enjoy cammies, try one of these lines. The "green" are the Sun Grown, never been a fan of these either. Start with the Hemingway Short Story like you did, then move onto bigger Hemingways, then Don Carlos, then Opus/anejo (price increases with this list).

Gluck!
