Anyone else experience this?

So everyone has their favorite brands and other brands that just aren't their thing for one reason or another.

Here's my question. For whatever reason, I've never been a fan of Fuente stuff...not that I dislike them, but I don't really love any Fuente stuff...even Opus...

BUT... I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Anejos... I'd smoke them everyday if I could get them (which is ironic to me since the Anejo is essentially an Opus with a different wrapper).

Does anyone else not like a certain manufacturer on a whole, but love one particular line they make?

It's funny you say that as I've never been a fan of Fuentes either -- except for opus.

I used to not be a Fuente fan when I first started and loved the Anejo as well and actually my favorites were the fresh ones. I have come around now though and love them all, my taste has just changed over the years.

Yes, my tastes have changed multiple times and I assume they will change again and again. Maybe to something new or maybe to something that I used to like.

For you Anejo lovers, try out the Balmoral Anejo.. It's tits.

Im in the exact same place...

I like just about everything from Fuente.. but have never really LOVED anything with the exception of the Anejos line and a couple of Opus options (angels share, FFOX with 3+ years on them, etc..)..

Back in the early "boom" days, when Fuente and Padron were really the only two companies that were consistently putting out quality cigars (just about everyone else was just pumping out as much as they could, of whatever they could slap together IMO).. I found I really liked Padron.. and have pretty much always been a Padron guy ever since (when choosing between the two)..

I love fuente. When I'm at the b&m and can't decide I just like a fuente

 

[danmdevries]

I'm not a Tatuaje fan overall, but have found one or two that I like.

Very few Fuentes I dont like.

I've always been a Fuente whore. But the Hemingway line always stands out for me. It's solid, reliable, readily available, and not crazy expensive. Short story, WOA, best seller, not to mention the WOAM, BTL, and the Short story Maduro are crazy good.

When I first started smoking cigars I couldn't afford the Padron 1928 or 1964 whatever those numbers are so they never appealed to me. Still to this day I'm not tried any of that line. I've had the 3000 or whatever and it was ok, but not good so the brand has never wow'd me.

fuente is virtually dead to me - the 858m hemi sig sg & opus no5, pussy cat & pl i sparingly pickup are but tokens .

 

[King Kill 33]

I have tried, but never have been a fan of Fuente, with the exception of the Anejo. I do not like the sweetness of their cigars especially the Casa Fuente.
I am the opposite with Tatuaje as the only line I don't really care for is Cabaiguan.

Yep, this is me all the way.

 

[SouthernerInSask]

i am the same way also, except for me Padrons are the ones that i have never aquired a taste for. Especially the x000 sticks. oh well, more for you guys

 

[Old Smokey]

I love most Fuentes and it was a 4 year old Shark that swayed me. I have had a few Padrons and while they are great cigars I prefer a Fuente on price alone.
