I'm pleased to hear this as I have only had one OpusX , which I had tried when I first began to exploring more full bodied cigars (I am still very much a novice when it comes to full bodied smokes). I had a terrible experience with it and was rather suprized that there was so much incredible hype sorrounding an, at the time, unsatisfying cigar. There is still hope for me and I may actually be able to experience and enjoy this cigar. Thanks for the advice, maybe some day my income will permit me to experiment and grow.

I have only tried two AF's the Conones Maduro and the Curly Head Deluxe Maduro. I enjoyed both very much but I did not find the natural to be as good as the maduro. I have always wanted to try the Hemingway and RBTL but never cared much for the price tag on them. Based upon these reviews I may consider steering clear of these since it seems that cheaper alternatives of similiar or better quality may be a better option.

I'll repeat again, the high end AF line is not to my liking. The SG Chateau, SG Double Chateau, and the SG Belicosos are one of the best buys in cigars period.

OH, I forgot about the SG's. I'm not a fan of those AND I also don't like the Ashton VSGs which are very popular.

The high end Fuente cigars are extremely well constructed and have a nice firm, Cuban style draw.

Go ahead Sarge. I'll be sure they don't make it back to Bill.

I am not a big fan of AF cigars wither. BUT, I do make the exception for Opus X's. You should definitly try them before giving up on AF's all together.....

I know, dumb question, but with the Opus X, is the X said as the letter X, or is it the number 10?

Have you sampled the AF Anejo line, Island?

I am a big fan of the Double Chateaus as well, but haven't found any other AF's that I like.
