So, I've tried quite a few AF but I finally found one I really liked; the Hemingway Work of Art.

I did enjoy an Anjeo shark recently but the WOA I would buy again.

Based on this info; which others should I try?

All the Hemingway's are similar so I would think you should try the other sizes. I'm kinda with you although I do love the Anejo but, give me a Hemingway Classic over an Opus X any day!

No way, the WOA is regular production. The maduro too.
There regular production, but a very low rate. When online places get them they usually sell out quickly except for a few full boxes. I don't think I've ever seen them in singles at any B&M. You have to keep an eye on online stores to try to snag them quickly.

You know what, I just opened my mouth and stuck my foot in.

It took some googling, but I found two places that had the WOA online in smaller than box. Tampas Sweethearts has singles and JR has 4 5ers available.

In my defense though, most places won't back order them because of limited amounts they get.

I work at b&m, we have an endless supply of WOA and sell both the natural and the maduro in singles. I asked the boss if they were limited because I was surprised we were able to keep replenishing our stock. He said they're regular production, which definitely surprised me. He could e wrong and we just have so damn many of them but if you ever want any now you know where to get them ;)

I've tried the short story and the best seller. Didn't care for them much but I'll probably try them again just to be sure.

I don't recall the other AF's I've tried but they all were too mild and had some vegetal notes I didn't like.

I think Fuentes benefit greatly in resting for at least 12 months in a humidor. They age very well. So if the Fuentes you've had have been young, might consider trying some aged ones. Then again, every palate is different and they may just not be your thing.

I also agree with the others saying that if you like the WOAM, you might try the other Signature series Maduros.

Also, not sure how long you've been smoking cigars but inevitably your palate today will be different in a year or two. Especially if you're new to cigars. You may end up liking the other Fuentes before too long. Except for the Fuente Curly Heads, no one likes those. The few that do smoke Curly Heads are just not trustworthy individuals either. Haha

WOA, Short Story, Best Seller, All same blend just different sizes and all are very good smokes. Between the lines is another great smoke. Personally, I have not had a bad Fuentes. 858's are also great smokes. The only issue I have had with the Hemingway line is the occasional plugged cigar.
