Casa Fuente (CG)....pricey stick but after smoking I have never had any regrets.

Good advice on here. Hemingways -- you can't go wrong.

Try the Don Carlos line. Stronger cigars, but really tasty.

And, if you can find them, the Sun Grown Chateaus are GREAT. And, they are not expensive. You won't go wrong with the natural or maduro Chateaus, but the SG are my favorite. As mentioned before the 858's are really good, too, and not expensive either.

Happy tasting! You have some good smokes in your future.

IMHO... If you liked Short Story, just stick to the Hemingway series... they still to me are the best Fuente's, especially when taking into consideration price & what you liked already. The closest thing to the Hemingway's in flavor profile is the Don Carlos, which are not as good as Ashton Puro Sol... The Opus etc. are TOTALLY a different flavor profile and more $$...
